Prof Aybar was ok, but if you are having any trouble in Algebra, I dont recommend taking him. He goes WAY TOO FAST to kep up. If you are having trouble in Math, you need to work with a tutor EVERY DAY if you take this teacher. I sometimes chuckled to myself when he would go so fast because he lost me on the first line. It was a joke.

He will mark an answer wrong even if you have it right, just because you got to the answer a different way. (A way my tutor showed me) He is extremely nitpicky on answers. All real #'s must be spelled out. NUMBERS, or you will get it wrong. If you struggle in Algebra, don't take him. He teaches WAY TOO FAST. Take Pender, he is great.
