Professor Sarvi is rad! He is so funny, and he is basically the bee's knees. He is so clear on what he expects from students, and he is very helpful at all times. Thank you, Mr. Sarvi!
He is a very cool professor!
Awesome professor. Very through and clear. Goes above and beyond to help the student succeed. Thanks Sarvi! Would take your class fall 2014, but transferring to bay area.
Awesome Professor! Very thorough and clear. If you show up to class and do the homework should have no issues passing. I would take him again fall 2014, but I'm transferring to the bay area.
Professor Sarvi is really nice and helpful! He doesnt care if you miss class here and there just as lng as you understand what you are doing and you have a good grade in class. He wants all his students to pass and he gives out study guides for tests. Also he is very funny!
Professor Sarvi is a really great professor. His class is very straightforward and he cares alot about the success of his students. If you have the chance, don't miss the opportunity to take him! Plus, he's hilarious haha! Thanks Sarvi!
Professor Sarvi is great! He know's his stuff for sure and explains things really simple. Thumbs up!
All he really makes us get the book is for hw, that is totally a waste of money. But the way he teaches its very annoying, he repeats about everything he teaches. The only reason i kept going to class was becase he's cute :]
Professor Sarvi was really helpful. He made me like math much more, cuz in reality, I hate it haha. Thanks Sarvi :p
He's a really good professor! Makes math simple, gives plenty of examples. Would def recommend him!
Pretty straightforward class! Go to class and you'll be fine!
Professor Sarvi explains things very simple. He makes math easy! Def recommend.
Professor Sarvi is a great guy. He tries his best to break things down as simple as possible. He has tons of patience and is always willing to help others. He's very funny too which makes the class more enjoyable. Plus he's super young, for a professor that is lol ;)
Sarvi is a GREAT professor. He is very clear and detailed about what he lectures on. The hmwk is only on what the lectures are about, no surprises. As for tests he provides a study guide which helps a great deal for the tests. Whats on the study guide will be on the test. He always makes sure to ask how if any had any questions with the hmwk.
I never understood math and professor Sarvi makes it so easy to understand. He breaks down the lecture and shows you a lot of examples which help out. He helps out with any homework questions and he does give out study guides before the test. Book is only used for homework and quizzes are once every 2-3 weeks. Homework and quizzes help your grade!!
"Master" Sarvi is awesome! He makes math seem like a walk in the park. Knows his stuff and is super chill. Do the homework and you will be fine.
I took Professor Sarvi for Math 50 and got a B, and I am also in his Math 70 class now. I would not have passed with any other instructor, but Professor Sarvi was very kind to go the extra mile to help me and other classmates. He was giving us his free time to make sure we understood the material. He really cares about his students!
There is no reason you can't get an A in this class, do the work & ask questions. Even if you bomb out on a test or two you can still pass the class if you turn in all the homework and show up to class. Professor Sarvi values participation and showing true effort. I am blessed to have taken him twice and look forward to taking him for Statistics.
A great instructor, with patience and eargerness to teach.
Professor Sarvi is clear on the way he teaches. I like the way he explains everything.
Professor Sarvi is quite possibly the BEST math professor ever! He's so patient with his students and is always willing to help you out, no matter how small or big the question is. He cares about his students and goes above and beyond to make sure they succeed! Believe me, take him if you want to learn math the most easiest way possible! :D
Great instructor, very helpful and understanding. He is fair with everyone and encourages his students to learn more.
Professor Sarvi's class was great! He cares about the success of his students and teaches very clear. I wish there were more professors like him! Would def take again for future math classes :)
Sarvi is great! He's straight to the point and makes math understandable. He is a great asset to the college for sure!
Nice guy and knows his stuff! He can definitely relate to students cuz of his age and and he is very friendly! Worth my tuition money lol
He's easy if you show up. There a couple of quiz not to bad. He's real cool. There's no surprises you know when everything is due. Pay attention and you'll pass
Awesome professor taking him next semester for math 50 then 70 and so on easy as long as you pay attention to the lesson and do your HW and do well on your test you will pass. Lessons are very understandable but then again it is math 30.
I took Sarvi for Math 50 and decided to take him again for Math 70. He breaks everything down for you. Also gives a study guide that is similar to the exam. He is an awesome teacher. He provides all the information you need and will go out of his way to help you outside of class if you need the extra help. Take Him!!!
Best professor I've ever had! And he's easy on the eyes ;)
hate math but this professor was great! passed the class with a B! would totally take him again
I always avoided to take math. With Sarvi i believed again in Math. I received an A and i was able to finally understand it.
Sarvi, is amazing. He truly brings life into math, the dullest of subjects (in my opinion). He really is passionate about this subject and his enthusiastic attitude makes class hours pass fast. He is always willing to answer any questions and is available through email. I pray Rio Hondo stays with him, they need more prof. like this! Take him!
Professor K is amazing! He's literally the best teacher I have ever had! He's so helpful, patient, and incredibly smart. Also he's young and very attractive... Just saying :)
Sarvi is a great instructor. I don't understand why Rio has yet to make him a full time instructor. He gives homework daily and collects it every Monday. He also gives the entire class before starting lecture the opportunity to ask questions on any homework questions you had difficulty with! REALLY RECOMMEND SARVI!
Professor Sarvi is amazing ! He's lectures are very clear. He is always willing to answer any questions and is available through email. Always gives study guides before exams they are very helpful !! As well lets you work in groups during class time to study for exams. I highly recommend Sarvi !! Take him !!!!!
Sarvi is a great math professor!!! If you find math a difficult class I recommend you take it with professor Sarvi he is just the best at explaining the problems writes down every step so you won't be lost , he also gives out a study guide before the test which are very helpful!! I really recommend you take him to get a better understanding.
Sarvi answers everyones questions. He makes sure everyone is understanding the material. Great professor.
Great teacher. Lectures are easy to understand Very helpful and has a good sense of humor. Would take him again.
Cares about his students. Enjoys helping his students.
He is great at explaining content and is happy to help if you don't understand a certain topic. His study guides are the same as the test. Do your homework and the A is yours.
Kayvon Sarvi was probably the best decision i ever took when choosing a math professor. His lectures are clear to the point and won't hestitate to answer any question or difficulties you are having, Office hours are met on appointment and he can tutor you one on one. Best professor ever!
Professor Kayvon Sarvi is the best professor ever!!! He is super funny and energetic. He is great with notes and always asks with you have questions. If you practice the study guide you will pass with an A. Also attendance is important and do the hw. Take Professor Sarvi you will not regret it.
Sarvi is a great professor! :-)
Professor Sarvi (see what I did There) is a gem! Sarvy is a kind man that is all too generous with his students. I feel that students at Rio Hondo can benefit from him being a full-time math teacher at the campus. I know I speak for all of his former math70 students when I say that we would love to take him for the Trig and Pre-Cal courses.#Amazing
Show up and learn the material. You might be lost if you miss lecture and you're not too shabby in math. He is very helpful and will explain anything you don't understand but he's very clear and teaches students in the most effective way. Study guides are amazing. I wish he taught math 130. Best Math teacher I have had thus far. Loved his class!
I have taken two other professors for math and could never understand it, but MR. Sarvi explains and gos through everything, and explains it very well. answers all the questions from his students so don't be shy and ask ask ask!! Do your homework and do descent on your test and you'll pass. BEST MATH TEACHER I'VE TAKEN.
Great class. Prepares me for the tougher classes as well as giving out simple trica to solving or completing a certain problem
Mr. Sarvi is an amazing professor! I HATE math! It's a complete foreign language to me! This was my 2nd time taking math 50 because I failed it the 1st time & now I passed it with and A! His lectures are great & he really takes his time in providing step by step examples for everyone,& yes he will answer everyones questions! Thank you Mr. Sarvi! :)
Great class, he usually gives you a type of way to solve the problems which make it easier to learn
Professor S keeps it short and sweet and gets to the main points on how to solve problems as easy as possible! Super young, super smart, and super approachable. Take him!!!
I took his class over the summer it very fast pace but he still was able to teach us the material. He is very clear and to the point on the way tot solve the problems. I wish he did have a full time position at Rio Hondo. Great teacher Rio Hondo should give him a full time position already.
Sarvi is a good teacher for having so little experience. He tries to simplify every lecture and is clear on his expectations. If you come to class, take good notes, and study a little at home you should be able to pass his class without a problem. I enjoyed his lectures, despite how awful I am with math.
Really wish he had a full time position at Rio because he is that great, no other professor can compare! TAKE HIM.
Professor Sarvi is amazing! He is one of the best professors I have taken at Rio Hondo College. You can tell he puts time into his craft and wants to teach in the best way possible so his students understand. Every class period before an exam is dedicated to review so you are prepared. Take him, he's the best!!
Sarvi is amazing! He makes math so much easier to understand and in such a simple way. He gives you all the necessary tools to pass the class. Honestly speaking, if you cannot pass his class, then you didn't put in the effort or time. Don't be lazy, do the work, ask questions (he encourages it) and focus on his study guides (they help a lot too)!
I am one of many who hates math, upon taking his class I had extreme anxiety. However, prof Sarvi has a special technique with teaching math. He is definitely gifted at what he does. My only complaint is, he should make his examples as challenging as WebAssign.
Great teacher! Taking him is an easy passing grade. He explains the material throughly and for the test he gives a review sheet. Highly recommended profesor Sarvi!
Great teacher and very helpful he will stay after class if you need help understanding
Prof. Sarvi is a wonderful teacher. If you don't like or are not good in math, take him. He will help you understand and he makes learning much easier. It is important to show up to class because he gives lectures and explains well the subject. His study guides are great to prepare for the tests. I would definitely take him again in the future.
awesome professor caring to his students. I had him for math 30, 50 and 70 he is very fair best math professor I had so far. the home work assignments are just enough to get you to understand the problems. he has pretests to help with the actual tests which are very helpful, take good notes he is willing to stay after class.
Professor Sarvi is very organized and detail orientated in lecture so your notes are so clear to study and understand step by step. The pretest really helps to get you ready for the test he gives. Amount of homework given is fair. He's funny and really cares about his students.
very clear in his notes and never tried rushing through a lesson. if we didn't understand he would go over it again. his homework is fair. he rarely makes mistakes all his notes are very organized. he never threw any curveballs at us when it came to the test very straightforward class. he made algebra easy for people who thought they hated it.
A true and genuine professor with a passion for teaching. Lectures are clear, study guides are great, and he's very approachable. How he's not a full time professor by now is beyond me! Take him.
The best!!!!! classy professor who doesn't rush through the lecture. Very kind, and knows how to guide you to understand each equation. I wish he would get full time position for future students that are coming to Rio Hondo.
Sarvi is a GREAT professor but he only has about 2 examples & expects the class to understand it in those 2 examples. If you ask he would always come up with some examples on the spot. The examples he gives are so much easier than the online work but its very easy. Study guides are exactly the same as the test just different numbers.
Sarvi is amazing! His lectures are easy to follow. He gives just the right amount of examples and always asks if you need more before he moves on. WebAssign problems are a bit harder, but it gives you the opportunity to challenge yourself. Plus he always gave immediate feedback though the website which a lot of other teachers don't do!
Great professor, pay attention and you'll pass with an A.
He is a good teacher. He explains thing very well and won't move on until all questions are answered.
AWESOME TEACHER!! I took him for math 50 and math 70. Homework is what he thinks we really need to focus on NO TEXTBOOK NEEDED!! Just copy his notes really well. His quizzes are up to us what we want to be quizzed on. The test are 10 to 15 math problems no surprises he gives math review sheet. He the best math professor !!!
Great and funny teacher. Helps students understand math. Lectures in every class. Gives good examples of how to solve math problems. No word problems, gives a similar study guide to test and gives you credit on your work if you didn't get the right answer on the test.
Professor Sarvi is amazing. Steady pace in class and goes through the material in detail. Doesn't skip steps which helps someone like me who needs to see them! Gives study guides that help a lot! Take him. You won't regret it!!!!
Professor Sarvi is top notch! Gives detailed notes to help you with the material. Makes you work for your grade. Doesn't hand out A's. You earn what you get so don't be lazy and put in the time! Math isn't my best subject, but he made it more enjoyable!
Professor Sarvi is one of the best math professor that Rio Hondo has. He gives good details for note and he's real specific with his work. Also I have never met a professor who cares for his students and wants his students to be successful just like him but better.
I get so nervous when it comes to a taking math classes, lets just say I'm better at English. Professor Sarvi changed that for me. He is an amazing professor he's willing to help, stays late to answer any questions his students might have. He's the kind of professor that makes you want to come to class.
Great professor! He's very patient, loves his job and he is very helpful!
Great instructor. Took him for a summer class, which I thought would be challenging. But Sarvi made it easy to understand! Reasonable homework, study guides, and a great sense of humor. You have to work hard, but it's definitely doable. Don't be lazy, keep up with the homework, and show him you actually care and you'll do just fine! Def recommend!
Great Teacher
Sarvi is awesome!! He's notes are super clear. Attendance is not mandatory but it's good to go for his notes and lectures. I have such a busy schedule, at times I was unable to make it to class, and i was still able to pass. Most important thing is to do the homework. Midterm and Final: He will give you a practice one before. He's awesome! :)
Sarvi is by far my favorite professor at Rio Hondo College. No words can express how much thankful i am that i took his class. He is the funniest professor there ever is, truly cares for his students. All works are online, exams are on paper. He gives reviews for every exams and theyre similar to the real exam. definitely recommend Sarvi.
Great professor. Very fair and very approachable. Cares deeply about his students and gives you every opportunity to pass.
Professor Sarvi is an amazing professor. He made sure we all understood and were on track to pass. He has very detailed lectures and only tests on what was covered. He is also very understanding and willing to explain further if something was misunderstood. I wish he was full time!
Best professor ever! He's really caring about his students. He will stay after class with you and review what you didn't understand. His review quizzes are almost exactly as the actual test only different numbers, and only 12 questions long!
Great professor ! I'm the worst at math and I was able to get an A! He makes the lessons super easy to understand and will help you out if you need it. He's extremely funny as well. I looked forward to going to class.
Made math simple and understandable. Didn't mind going over problems time after time until we understood how to do them. His review sheets helped so much for tests because they were very similar. Showing up for lecture wasn't mandatory but did help! Very motivated to teach
Math is my least favorite subject. However, Mr. Sarvi made math so much more enjoyable! He's hilarious, caring, kind, and makes math seem so easy. He makes sure the entire class understands by giving us examples and asking if we need any more before moving on. I got a B in his class, but it was my fault. I was sick. I'm taking him again right now!
Sarvi is an awesome math teacher! He explains things in detail and is always willing to do examples.
AWESOME GUY! not too much homework or heavy lectures. he makes sure the class is okay to move on but if you need more help stay after class, VERY HELPFUL. he uses Web Assign for homework and quizzes. exams are in person and are from the study guide. Show up, study, ask questions. He's funny too... definitely taking him again!
Amazing math teacher! I am not the biggest fan when it comes to math. He really breaks things dow,. doesn't get frustrated when everyone is asking multiple questions, he waits until everyone understands the problem until he moves on. I will def take him again if I can. Gives homework weekly, and had about 4 tests which were no more than 20 problems
Sarvi is the best math professor ever! Highly recommended him. Cool guy, I took Sarvi for math 73 and pass his class. I took this course twice and felt this was a tough course but Sarvi made it look easy.
Professor Sarvi is an amazing professor. His lectures are very clear and he always gives example problems to practice in class, his grading criteria is very clear and he goes above and beyond to answer questions for students. Math is my least favorite subject but I always looked forward to his class. I would definitively take his class again!
I've taken stats two other times and couldn't comprehend what the professors were trying to get across. That is, until I took Sarvi's class. Makes a hard topic like statistics simple to understand and follow. Shows how to use calculator shortcuts which help a ton! Take him :)
Took him for math 33, he's a great teacher, he explains things well and he has great humor too
Everyone told me Statistics is a difficult subject in the summer. However, he made sure you could understand the material. Notes were easy to understand, ask questions, do the homework and put the time in to study and you will pass. He realizes that math is not a subject for everyone but with the right mindset anything is possible.
BEST STATS PROFESSOR EVER! I was very nervous to take STATS especially in the summer. However, with Professor Sarvi he made it understandable and possible to get a good grade if you are willing to put in the work. He is very laid back and is always available for any questions. I recommend him 100%!
I am still in shock I passed stats in a summer course. Sarvi is really understanding and realizes that not all students are good test takers so he really takes into consideration if you are trying. I really dont think you wont pass as long as he sees you are doing homework and attending class and doing decent on test. 100% recommend him.
Stats is a pretty hard topic, but taking the right professor makes a difference! Professor (aka Master) Sarvi is the guy to go to for stats. He's young, approachable, and super chill. He has faith in his students and truly wants students to succeed. Put in the time and effort and you won't be disappointed. Take him!!!
One of the best professors ever. He really cares for his students and really wants us to succeed. Hw is reasonable, tests match study guides. He explains everything really well, and as many times as you need. Come to class, ask questions, and you will get the grade you want. Don't complain about stuff; it's unwarranted and he doesn't deserve it.
Sarvi is an awesome professor. I took his stats class this spring semester 2019, I thought I was really going to struggle but Sarvi has a special way of helping you understand the topic at hand. Sarvi cares about his students and genuinely wants to see them succeed. He is one of the best math professors at Rio Hondo. Take his class!!
This was my second time taking stats and this is the first math class that I actually understood the material and had confidence going in on test days. Requires the assess code, no book! The fill-in notes that he provides are a lifesaver and will help you with the hw and quizzes so keep all of them till the final! Gives accurate study guides!
Sarvi has been one of the best math professors I have ever had. Im not a math wiz & I usually dread math classes. He made it fun, made sure you understood the criteria. Sarvi gives you many opportunities to get a good grade in his class so if you dont try, you wont pass. I would definitely take him again if I could.
professor sarvi is the best professor I've ever had! I took math 130 over the summer and was nervous because I'm "not a math person" but man, did he prove me wrong! please take him he will help you out so much in ur math career! he printed out the lectures and made everything clear and communicated what he expected. never surprised u on exams.
took him over the summer: I recommend, he explains the chapters so well and the great thing is, he was always available; after class, for as long as you need or through email for questions/help on homework he always replied within the hour. such a great guy with funny humor. He would honestly change the world if he becomes full time!
Professor Sarvi had lectures that were easy to follow, and answered all questions in a way that clarified the material even further. This is one of the best math professors I have ever had, and I struggle with math. I took this class during summer and we covered a lot of the material very quickly and efficiently.
I love Professor Sarvi. Ive taken him in fall 2017 for college alg and I still find myself thinking about how great of a professor he truly is. Textbook required (access code) but he made everything so much easier. I truly hope he becomes full-time. He deserves to become a full-time instructor. Hes the best Math prof in college Ive had.
Honestly one of the best math professors I have had. He is super friendly and welcoming and always willing to help! It was a fun class and I always looked forward to it in the morning. Everyone can pass if they study the review and do the homework and quizzes! I AM GOING TO MISS THIS CLASS :( Take it you wont regret it :)!
Prof. Sarvi really cares about his students learning the material and breaks down everything so that no one gets left behind. He tries to engage students in the material so that people feel comfortable asking questions. As long as you go to class and put in effort you will get a good grade. I definitely recommend Sarvi as a prof.
Fam Sarvi is the best professor any student can ever have! Im not so good at math I hate it with a passion but Sarvi makes math so fun!!! Ask him questions if youre lost he will not give up on you. Pay attention to his lectures As well hes such an awesome dude! I really hope he gets the full time position he deserves. GO TEAM SARVI!!!
I did take he's stats class, in the spring 2020 he was really good at explaining and answering any questions I had. I would highly recommended him for Stats. I had 2 different professors and they wanted to teach a certain way and we had to do it. I went ahead and dropped both of those Stats professors. Until I came across Sarvi. Great teacher.
Best professor ive had. Really cares about his students. Always there when you need help.
Sarvi is one of my favorite professors I have ever taken a class with. He explained things very thoroughly. If we had any questions, he would answer them without fully, until he could tell we understood. He is accommodating and handled switch to remote learning really well. His study guides are really helpful for exams and he wants you to succeed.
By far one of the best Professors Ive ever had. He is clear when explaining a new concept and doesnt make you feel dumb for asking something that you might think everyone already knows. Hes super chill and is flexible with due dates. If you are able to take his class, DO IT!!!
I took professor Sarvi for stats and I would definitely take his class again. Make sure to do all the homework he assigns, and do not miss any lecture or you will fall behind. He is also funny and cracks some jokes here and now. Do decent on the exams and you will pass his class.
Great professor!! He really helps students and if you have a question he tries his best to answer.
Took him right when Covid-19 hit. By far one of the BEST professors I ever had. Math was never my forte, but Sarvi made his class fun! I passed with an easy A for stats because he truly cared about going over the material until his students understood it. He is very approachable and flexible with his assignments. HIGHLY recommend him for stats!
I took sarvi's class and I gotta tell ya, he's the best math professor iv'e had. His lectures are concise,clean and oraganized. Easy to understand and is passionate about what he does,he cares about his students! That's what a good professor does! All and all I give it a 10/10, Take his class if your struggling to understand math!
