5.0 out of 5 stars Just the Supplement I Needed!, February 15, 2006

This review is from: The Algebra 2 Tutor - 6 Hour Course - 2 DVD Set - Learn by Examples! (DVD)

After sitting in Trig class for a month and gleaning little from the professor I ordered and patiently awaited this DVD in hopes that it would help in clearing up topics from Algebra taken over ten years ago. With a full time job and a full time course load there was little time to fit in a traditional tutor and I didn't want to think about the expense.
I am very pleased that I ordered the course in addition to the Trig and Pre-Calc tutor falling under the same series. In just an hour of viewing this DVD I understood concepts that neither my professor nor textbook adequately explained to a point where I would gain a level of clarity and confidence.

I am certain that I will be using this as well as the other titles in the series with a great degree of regularity as I make my way through this course as well as the remaining math courses left in my program.

My only gripe with the DVD are the audio glitches that come and go throughout the program, not many but enough to notice but not enough to stop using the program. Others may not have noticed them but I did because I played the DVD on a home theater system.
Even with that glitch I genuinely appreciate the clarity of the program and the ability of the teacher. I even e-mailed the provider with a question and he responded quickly and with a real e-mail not an auto response. That's almost unheard of and coupled with the solid value of the program has certainly won me as a definite endorser of the Math Tutor DVD program(s).
No one cares about your education more than you do. Be your own advocate to learning. This is one of many ways to ensure that you learn the necessary material as well as build skills that you'll need in later courses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent... to the point... high signal to noise ratio, April 25, 2006

This review is from: The Algebra 2 Tutor - 6 Hour Course - 2 DVD Set - Learn by Examples! (DVD)

This is an excellent product, far superior to the better known "Standard Deviants" line of tutorials.

This has straight forward lectures and examples on Algebra, geared for the serious student learning for the first time, or adults looking for a review. Menus allow you to jump forward to those parts in which you need the most help.

If you cringe at the inane banter in competitor's presentations, and want a tutorial with a high signal to noise ratio, this is a good choice for you.

I hope the producers decide to release more subjects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Basic Level of Algebra II but good introduction, July 4, 2006

This review is from: The Algebra 2 Tutor - 6 Hour Course - 2 DVD Set - Learn by Examples! (DVD)

If you want to refresh you memory of Algebra II topics OR introduce a student to Algebra II this DVD is very easy to follow, and does an excellent job of teaching its topics. I'm using it to teach students the Algebra II topics for the SAT (for students that have never had Algebra II). It's likely to be too basic for someone that has to deal with a rigorous Algebra II course or an Honor's Algebra II course. The teacher is very likeable and easy to listen to.
