Feedback & Reviews
Here is what some homeschool educators and students have to say about
MASTERING ALGEBRA “John Saxon’s Way”
“Mr. Reed is very funny and has a great sense of humor!! I am in Algebra 1 and I am able to keep up with the lessons perfectly! The teacher stands at the board and diligently explains every single step. Mr Reed seems to know exactly what questions I am wondering about because he answers them 2 seconds later, during the lesson! He anticipates my questions! You will have fun solving Algebra and any problems with Math! Guess what? Math has become my favorite subject!!”
“Both of my boys are enjoying your teaching very much. They’re having a lot more fun with Saxon than they have had in previous years, and I think it is largely because of the extra help your lessons provide. They appreciate the clarity of your explanations and examples as well as your kind and encouraging tone. My youngest son also thinks it’s great that you inject humor into your teaching. It’s clear you really like math, and that is contagious.”
“My son has always had a harder time with Math and this year is going so much better. I really believe that the extra instruction you provide and the visual examples have really made the difference. Even for me, as a homeschooling mom, it helps to see someone work out the problem. I am a visual learner and I believe we all benefit from seeing the examples being done rather than just reading it off the page.”
