He is GREAT! He is just a great professor! He made math fun!
He was a great teacher! He gives the review sheets of the exams with similar questions that are going to be on the exam. Very easy A!!
he is a good prof. By taking his class you will enjoy mat. He makes the class as fun as you want.
he is the best. I have taken his classes and so easy and clear. I recomemd him for everyone.
He is the finniest professor I ever had. The tests are very easy if you take notes. All of the math problems are from the previews classes. So don’t try to be absent. He allows you to be absent only for tree times and try to give him all assignments. He said that if you have a perfect attendance and A+ in assignments your grade can improve from C t
He is the best teacher ever and he is so funny. He made the class fun and I never had a problem to go to class I wanted to go. Any student will be lucky to have him and it would be worthwhile.
Excellent Professor. One of the few math professors who actually knows the subject matter in addition to being a comedian. I highly recommend him.
Very easy to understand. He over prepared us to the point when it was time to take the compass, It looked much easier than expected. He has a great personality & really cares
he's a really good teacher because he made every class very interesting he is really good teaching math and mades easier for students to understand. he is great because he is not only worrie about aour grades he is worrie about our future.
in his class we learned and he made us want to come to class it was fun
best teacher ever!!!! helpfull... the clas is fun and helpfull.. he makes math easier!!!
Mr. Phan is one of my favorite professors. He takes his time to make sure the class understands the math and he really cares about his students. He is fair and he works with you. He is hilarious, this guy should consider becoming a comedian! I loved his class
Excellent professor, extremely funny and very helpful. I would definitely take him again.
/Between his random jokes about his wifes bathroom issues and then his stories about his truiph over being a Vietnamese immigrant. reminds students over and over again anyone can make it. Just like Oprah, Obama and many others did. Besides math he?s really teaching you to believe in yourself. This probably the hardest class you?ll ever take.
This guy is a gem at LAGCC. He truly does take the boring and heart ache out of math class. I NEVER would of thought ill be laughing in a math class but i did! This is important because othe math classes at lagcc you end up falling asleep when your not even tired! You need to take Phan for this class and other math class.
Prof is right on the Money, funny, smart and is full of class. One of LAGCC's finest, best Math Prof. PERIOD!
Best professor ever!!! He has a great personality and explains the material the way it`s not so boring ,when he has seen that class is about too sleep he started to joking and it wakes everyone up . He is always ready to motivate his student and to talk about how important the education for our future, and has taught us to never give up
He is very good professor. I didn't like math before I met him. Now I am interested in Math. His math class is very clear, and he is the funniest professor. Math is not boring and difficult with him. Take his math class !! Math easy!
GREAT TEACHER!!!... he makes math fun and doesnt make you fall asleep. hes very funny and always says " i do apologize if i made any one feel bad." he teaches you to never give up and always reach for an A that way u can never fail. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. :D

Very inspirational, a comedian, a great motivator, and overall an awesome professor! He will push you to be the best that you can be! The best professor in Math I've ever had!!!
The coolest math professor ever, i mean if you hate math and have to take it for a pre-req or to graduate definitely look at this man. He will make the whole semester go by very quickly and is very supportive as a professor. He knows how to help his students and make math fun. Def the professor to take for Math. 5 Stars.
One of the best professors LaGuardia has to offer. If you are not very good at math, he will clear the path for you to make it comprehensible. He is truly there to help you, and will not confuse you.
he is the absolutely best professor i have ever taken in my entire life as a student. if u study hard and strike for A, then you efforts will be paid off for sure ! he will do every possbile way to have your attention in his class . don't miss him !
Professor Phan was truly born to be a math teacher. I hated math before i took this course, i still hate math but I've learn so much and thank him for sharing his knowledge to the students. I never fell asleep in his class because he had jokes that will keep students up at the same time he kept it very Professional.
He is very nice and helpful
Phan is famous on this thing. great professor, learned a lot within a short period of time.I wish all professors were like him.
great professor his policy of 5 points credit is really helpful in making student pay attention in his class very funny and interesting, never fall asleep in his class
the best math teacher in the world.
Professor phan helped me understand math. Before attending his class I use to hate math, wouldnt participating in class because I was embarrassed to get a answer wrong. But his teaching definitely changed that. He always has the classes attention with jokes and the 5 point system he uses has everyone wanting to participate. No way you cant pass!
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE PROFESSOR PHAN! HE'S AMAZING, HE MADE MATH SO EASY AND ENJOYABLE...AND MATH IS JUST NOT THAT IN OTHER CLASSROOM SETTINGS....HE'S FUNNY, UNDERSTANDABLE, AND MAKES YOU WANT TO GET THAT PASSING GRADE BUT USING INCENTIVES LIKE 5 POINT BONUSES! GOTTA LOVE THAT! YOU CANT FAIL HIS CLASS UNLESS U TRULY DON'T TRY AT ALL....
I love Prof. PHAN. He has to be the best math prof there is. I have never been good at math and he makes you understand it to the point you start loving it. The 5 bonus point incentive is a great way to get you to perform you best. I highly recommend him if you have trouble with math.
He was the very best professor, i loved loved him
Professor Phan is by far the best in his craft he made learning such a difficult subject very easy for me to comprehend, I recommend him hands down!
Best math professor hands down.
Before I attended this class I was very skeptical about anything that had to do with math. professor phan broke me out of that fast. he mad learning a subject that WAS so difficult to me smooth sailing. he helped me build my confidence and that is something that I will take with me for the rest of my life. I wish I could have him for every class.
The best professor I've had so far! He's hilarious and makes you look forward to coming to class! Love him!
take his class. he is really funny but u must work hard if you want an A.
Professor Phan is amazing, very kind and humorous. Those 3 hours in class felt like 1 hour. First math professor I had that was actually fun !
He is one of the best professors in LaGuardia. He should do stand up comedy, I guarantee you will be laughing at least 10 times per class. He is big on attendance, if you miss 3 days+ without a note you have to drop out. Really wants you to succeed and likes to talk about obama a lot. I'm not sure why I got a B- but He is the best, just take him.
Great great professor, the way he explain the work is great, he dumb it out for you, he gives you extra credit, allows you to practice in class and he is funny, highly recommended, u won't even feel like your learning that's how great he is.
Great great professor, he makes his class easy and fun, if you have to take algebra take his class, you won't feel like you're learning, amazing professor, highly recommended.
Very funny and entertaining way of teaching math. Also very helpful with reviewing and giving extra credit on tests (except on the final). A lot of online educosoft work i.e. h.w. & quizzes. Projects are a must, do them on time. Do not miss class because it gets hard to catch up. Overall, the best math teacher I've had in LAGCC.
one of the best match teacher I ever had.
He is the best! clearest math teacher Ive ever had. His style of teaching is light and fun but you better take the material serious. The work is hard so I suggest not missing any classes, a lot of material is covered in just one night... An over all good great learning experience with an extremely helpful teacher :)
one of the best math professors i have ever came across he is really amazing
So far the Best Math Professor I'v ever had. Very clear in teaching and makes math looks easy. I really enjoyed his class, I love the math and he made me love it more ! One of the best things about him is he really want the best for you. I was very lucky to have him as my math professor. Thank You so much !
He's absolutely HILARIOUS!! Best math teacher I've ever had! He made math fun and made time go by super fast. He gives tons of extra credit and doesn't hesitate to take his time in making sure his students understand the work. Great teacher!
He's an awesome professor teaches but still plays around. only way you wont pass his class s if you don't come highly recommended he's great and really knows how to teach.
I have taken math 96 already with another professor and I failed terribly because he wouldn't go through the problems thoroughly with the class, but Professor Phan is amazing! So funny, so helpful and really wants everyone to pass. He's the best math professor I've ever had I give him a billon thumbs up!
The absolute best math professor in LaGuardia. He is hilarious, explains things slowly and clearly, sympathetic to students, very helpful, and did I mention he is the funniest professor ever? No reason to do bad in his class. Probably the most memorable professor and class I've ever taken. If you're bad at math, please take him, you won't regret it
If you are not good in math he is the best professor to take. He is funny, you will definitely enjoy his class.
This professor is the best! He helps you as much as he can. He explains everything and if you still dont get it then he goes back until you fully comprehend. He gives you alot of homework online it may seem like alot but it helps you for the test and he gives extra credit. Highly recommend this teacher!!!
One of the BEST prof at LGCC
Master P is one of a kind and I have never laughed so much in ANY class. I hate math and after his class I started to like it. He is very current with social topics- music and will surprise you with his comments. Participations is required, you will come to the board to solve problems! Don't miss class he will drop u like a bad habit. Great Prof!
Great professor, very easy to understand when he explains math problems. Try to miss as little classes as you can, you might miss a good lesson. Hes also funny so class passes by very fast and by the time you know it you learned all you had to learn .
he great
Great!!!
hes great
I love him soooo much!! he saved my semester! he is the best professor ever!! He made learning math so easy.
Such a great prof !!!!! Will take him over and over
Professor Phan is the reason why I want to get into teaching. He is the prime example of what an educator should be like. I am so happy I found out that he actually does teach in a high school setting because students in the NYC area NEED educators like him! Proff Phan never change! U DA MANNNNNN
He is the best prof I ever had. I whish I could get him in math 115 again.
He is AMAZING! Math has always been my weakest subject. Professor Phan is the best instructor I have ever had, in any subject. This course covers a lot of topics, but his explanations and techniques are so clear you can truly understand it. He also makes sure everyone participates. His humor and teaching skill makes the class productive and fun.
I took his evening classes and there wasn't one night where I fell asleep. His jokes keep the class going smooth and easy. One of the better math teachers at LaGuardia. They're hard to come by, so TAKE HIM! You won't regret it.
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!! If you want to learn TAKE HIM! He makes MATH fun and easy to learn. His teaching technique is UNIQUE. An amazing human being, and an excellent example of success. This is type of class you look forward to assist and it is worth to pay for it. THAN YOU Professor Phan. I wish all the professors at LAGCC were like you! GOD BLESS U
He's one of the best professors for taking MAT96 and will not disappoint. If you are assigned an API tutor, take advantage of the opportunity. I know you may want to go home, but professor Phan plus tutoring will be worth it. You get what you put in.
He is good to teacher and funny.
LOVE Prof. Phan!! He's hilarious and makes math fun. He explains and makes students participate for extra credit which gives the opportunity to really grasp the material. He will explain until you get it. As long as you listen, participate and do the assignments, it'll be an easy A. Be prepared to laugh.
He is one of my favorite professor. He enjoy to share his experience to us. when we chatting just make us feel that time was going faster. Having long hour for boring math. if we don't have any relaxing chatting, i absolutely sure your mind will stuff on the numbers. he explained simply that easy to follow. Love the way he talked Woman and Math.
MR. PHAN IS THE BEST MATH PROFESSOR IN LAGUARDIA. HE IS FUNNY EVERY CLASS YOU WILL LAUGH. HE GIVES EXTRA CREDIT FOR PROFESSORS TEST. YOU WILL PARTICIPATE EVERYDAY IN THIS CLASS EVEN THE FIRST DAY. HE IS THE REASON I FINALLY PASSED THIS CLASS. HIS TECHNIQUES FOR TEACHING MATH IS AWESOME HE MAKES YOU UNDERSTAND IN A NOT BORING WAY. LOVE YOU MR PHAN!!
He's very open and will help always
GREAT teacher. He makes sure you understand the process and always wiling to help. He finally helped me pass this math class was very helpful
It's math, the subject that most struggle with, however , with professor Phan, it is not that dreadful to sit through and keep up with as long as you dont miss classes. Moderate amount of homework, projects, and tests. Is not overly demanding but gets work done.
Professor Phan is the best, he is very funny and teaches the class in a exelent way, highly recommend him, because he is funny class feels like it goes super fast.
Very awesome professor. Always willing to help students and the grading criteria is also cleared. Gives a little bit homeworks but honestly those homeworks are worth those time.
He is a great teacher
He makes the class very entertaining so you will never get bored. He is also really good with explaining what we're learning.
Here is a guy who has been through it all and now lives the "TRUE" American dream. From his time as a refugee up until getting his degrees from NUY and Colombia to traveling the world (90 countries +) he uses his experience- good and bad- to give the best and most entertaining lectures. In short he is the most inspirational person I have ever met
Just finished takin phan n how many bad things can i say about him? None he is the Best math professor at la guardia that i hate math but he made everything look so easy. I took 95 and i was lost and in this class i finally got to understand everything to the point that i got the highest score in the cuny final and hate math. He made it easy for me
He is hilarious but needs to be cautious with his jokes... not everyone is laid back and cool. He teaches well gives lots of extra credit.. If you are shy this is not the prof. For you. He does care and wants the best for his students.
Professor Phan is one of the best professor I ever had. He is very funny and you will want to attend the class because it is so fun and at the same time you will learn. If you have hard time understanding anything he will explain it in many different ways until you understand. If you ever take a class with him remember that he like to joke around.
He is the best prof ever! Do your online work, come to class, hand in your projects on time and review, review, REVIEW his review for the exam. He does everything he can for his students and goes beyond to make sure his students does well. If you do poor in his class, its because you didn't put in the effort. His class was very enjoyable!
Professioner Phan was one of the best math teachers I've had in a really long time. I had a night class but his jokes made time pass by cery quickly. He's caring & willing to help you as long as you put in an equal effort. He'll explain a problem in a million different ways just to make sure you understand it & he even offers extra credit on exams.
Probably the best course I've taken in LAGCC. Prof. Phan's class was very enjoyable. Would definitely take 201 with him.
This man is amazing! So much so I felt compelled to make a profile and rate him! Don't be fooled by his whimsical nature, that just makes the lectures so much more enjoyable. He gives an insane amount of Extra Credit, almost as if his life depended on it. His lectures & examples are concise and crystal clear, regardless of his little accent. 10/10
Best Professor Ever. You never gets bored in his class. If you follow his instructions a definite A is waiting for you.
Take him you are guaranteed a phenomenal grade and probably a new liking for math
WONDERFUL !!!!
This is the Professor i have ever met for Math class . people say math is boring but he proved it wrong and made math easier than ever and enjoyable like nobody els. Even if you r bad at math i believe you are going to be fine if you are taking this Pro. i hope i get this Professor again and again for all my math classes.
I hate good ratings but he deserves it. I earned my A and he has earned his 5.0. He expects you to do work but will reward you in the end. Gives lots of extra credit and helps you out. Hysterical and makes learning math fun for real. An incredible professor with an incredible teaching method that works. I can't say enough about this guy, top notch!
This is the best professor I've ever had not only in LaGuardia, but in my life. He is so down to earth, very open and honest, very philosophical, hilarious, and makes Pre Calculus so easy to understand. He wants to help students excel in life, not just in class or in school.
Prof. Phan is one of those few teachers that actually shows that he cares. He was inspiring, dedicated to his job and to us learning, funny and made class enjoyable to be in. Math is my worst subject and he made me feel like it wasn't so impossible to conquer.
OMG! HE is such a great professor. He will make his class interesting. According to him, I was the only student who skips an exam due to the amount of extra credit I had. I did not get an A because I did not my homework online and did not show up to review for the Final. Overall a great professor, you will learn a lot from him. Inspirational.
The best Math professor you could ever have.
Best Professor ever
MAT 200, extra credits and easy to get an A. A very nice professor.
Amazing professor! At age 35 I learn how Math works !! If all professors were like him we would all be educated ! Loved his classes but you have to do your homework and study, not to hard. If you pay attention to his classes you will do great. Never bored and his has great sense of humor . What else can I say, amazing person-amazing professor !!!
comedian! You need to pass his tests to leave the class with a good grade. Do the homework with effort. He lets you know when your in trouble and he really cares
One of the best professors at LaGuardia.
Professor Phan, its like Obama! Professor Phan 5 points! I gonna miss his lectures...
He is very comedian. I love this Professor. Never felt bore and sleepy on his class. He teaches us very interestingly. I respect this Professor. He really cares all students. I am very shy person so couldnt talk loudly but he gave me chance many times for extra credit. He is amazing. I wish I could take calculus too with him.
I am so happy. I got A. He is a STAR
Professor Phan is one of the greates professor on campus. He really cares about the students, he really does. I wasnt confident about my math skills, but somehow, with his amazing methodology, he engaged me with the course and now Im more confident than ever about my major, Finace & Investments. Take him, YOU WONT REGRET.
Professor Phan is by far the best professor at LaGuardia cc! He makes math fun believe it or not. He is a great teacher he has a lot of techniques to help you remember and understand the subjects. He really cares about the students! In addition to all of that he is hilarious, inspirational and always have a good advise. BEST PROFESSOR YOU CAN GET!
Hes funny and a master of his craft however if you do not like a lot of attention think twice as class participation gets you far in his class. He will place attention on you even if you struggle and its only added pressure. He needs to understand that not everyone likes attention or pressure. If you are good or decent in math go for it !
This Professor was best for people taking late night classes like I was. His humor keeps your attention and yet he knows how to get serious to teach effectively. On top of that, he occasionally tells inspirational stories from his life that make you want to do better in class and in your life!! So many thanks to this professor!!!
Not only hilarious but very inspirational ! I hate math because i am so bad at it however he made it easier for me to the point i knew responses off the top of my head ! TAKE HIM ! you will not regret it ! THANK YOU SO MUCH PROFESSOR YOU WERE THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE TAKEN AT LAGCC ! When i mean he is hilarious , he will have you in tears !!!
Great professor, has hilarious things to say in class to loosen up the tense atmosphere of hard math problems, his stories are inspirational and very fair and reasonable on grading
I LOVE HIM! Here I am in Baruch taking calculus one year later AND I'm still thinking about him. I really miss his lectures and how funny he was. I wished he offered Calculus in short session but he only offered pre-calc or else I'd def take him again. I miss him as we speak! As long as you focus, do your HW, and STUDY, you'll pass! He's phenomenal
He is the best !!! i would definitely recommend him to any student here in lagcc, he is hilarious and his stories will inspire you, He makes the topics really easy to comprehend but if there is a topic you aren't certain of, you can ask him and he will try to explain it to you the best way he can. A professor i would definitely retake if i could.
Profesor Phan is very knowledgeable, if you have a question he will make sure you understand, Im very happy About this class.
ONE OF THE BEST MATH PROF! I enjoyed this class very much! I work daytime so Im super tried at night. But the jokes and interesting materials really cheer me up in class. Lots of extra credits in class and easy tests. Take him! You won't regret it !
The best math Professor :) You'll never be bored. He explains each step if you don't understand smth. For extra credits, he involves everyone to the work from his first lecture. His extra credit grading system is impressive. By the end of the course, everyone is getting used to working without any ''payment'', but for fun. I highly recommend him.
AMAZING AND FUN! He makes math really fun and easy to understand. He teaches you exactly what you need to know that will be on the departmental final.
Professor Phan is an amazing teacher. He cares about his students a lot and gives extra credit opportunities. Also he is very funny and you will enjoy his class. I would definitely recommend him.
He is Amazing .He is funny and made it so easy .I will recomend him .give extra point to parcipate in class .I took math after ages and he made it so easy for me and i learn as well.
Prof. Phan very caring. He cares about each student individually. Will explain over and over again till everyone get it. You never will be tired from his lectures. Amazing, caring, hilarious, one of the best math prof in LaGuardia. Take him you wont regret. Tests are fare. If you study in class and do all homeworks test will be easy for you.
Professor Phan made me realize "You know what? Maybe math ain't that bad after all!" He makes class so fun and makes sure you don't get left back. Do not hesitate to speak up in his class, he will really take his time to make sure you understand even the slightest minor problems. Participation Extra Credits towards grade average or tests/quizzes!
Prof. is hilarious, motivational and very fair.
He is the best professor ever. Very cool and very easy going with students. Explains all the chapter in detail and gives reviews for every exam. I would definitely take him again.
After receiving a C+ in college algebra I was worried I would fail PreCalculus. After taking Prof. Phan's class I feel more confident with math. This class isn't easy you have to work for your grade. Be prepared for each class, If you don't know understand the material ask questions.
Great teacher! Loved his class even in the short session. He really works with you to make sure you succeed.
I was so blessed to have Professor Phan for Pre-Calc. Very caring and funny guy! When ever I had a bad day I looked forward to being in his class in the afternoons it was full of joy as we learned. He made all of us participate in the class no one was left confused. We all learned from each other. I loved this class! I wish he reached Calc
Professor Phan never failed to make classes engaging and interesting. He made learning new material very tolerable. When a student gets stuck on a problem, he would break down the steps as to how to get the correct answer in the most proficient way. He is a very understanding and caring professor only wanting the best for his students.
Prof Phan is the best Prof ever. I was actually excited to come to class everyday. After an exhausting day at work, taking his class makes me feel better because of his hilarious stories!! He really cares about his students and explains material very well. Please take him you won't regret it!!
He is the best Prof ever. I was scared about math. But he is funny and taking his class makes me feel better because teaching us math that easier for us to understand eventhough on very difficult circumstances. He really cares about his students and explains material very well. Give lots of extra credit too. Please take him you won't regret it!!
he made precalc easy to understand
A great person. And a great professor.
Amazing he would go above and beyond to help his students It was a privilege to be in his class.
Best math professor ever!!!! He really cares about his students. Always provides extra credit and wants all of his students to pass with good grades. Really wants the best for his students.
Pretty scared to take up Precalculus but Prof Phan made it so easy for the class to comprehend it. He goes above and beyond to help every students and that shows how caring he is as an individual and as a teacher bec. what matters to him is that his students are really learning. Thumbs up to an outstanding Professor!
The best professor you will ever take. He is very patient, if you have questions he will try his best to explain it until you get it. He is very accessible, always responds to emails. He uses the end of class time to help students with questions. Its impossible to fail his class, he always has the student in mind. Also he is HILARIOUS! Worth it!
One of my best professor ever.
His teaching methods are very easy to understand
When it comes to the math department, he is one of the few that really cares about teaching properly and giving you a good foundation to succeed. He really tries so you can understand the material, and walks by your side. On the other hand, he expects you to participate in class and can be very comical so you don't get bored with the material.
Professor Phan, is a kind, careful and funny soul. He truly wants to pass all his students. You will have a great time learning, he makes it so easy to understand.
Really great Professor i ever seen in my life. You will get A+ in this class easily if you take him as your Math class Professor trust me. You dont have to worry about your grade because he will help you with extra credit participation in the class which also help you to get A+ easily.
One of the most fun and efficient classes I have attended till date. The professor will keep you focused throughout his entire class. Plenty of chances for extra credit. The professor is hilarious as well. What more could you possibly ask. Would definitely recommend taking his classes!!
He is the best professor I ever have. He explained the materials so clearly and easy for us to understand. He will go above and beyond in helping us to prepare for the test. I really wish I can have him for my calculus course too.
He literally wants everyone to pass his class. He will give you so many chances to get extra credit fairly. He is always in class more than 30 minutes ahead of the scheduled time, so you can always meet him outside. For the final test, he reviewed the practice before the final, and it was almost same as the final question. Only the numbers are diff
Great and funny professor. He gives a lot of chance for extra credit & if you dont understand something hes accessible outside of class. Gave a clear review before the final which was very helpful. Highly recommend to take him
very helpful and very resourceful, he really does care and I recommend him with anyone who enjoys mathematics or needs help learning it more thoroughly. very knowledgable and fun.
It was such a refresher to have Peter as my professor for MAT99. You don't come along many educators who take the time to get to know their students, engage with them and do whatever it takes to get ALL of his students to pass his class. He wants everyone to win and always willing to give extra credited and he's so funny! haha
Professor Phan is so amazing. He takes time to teach you and makes sure you understand. He is also extremely funny and wants you to pass. I wish I can take his class again...
This has to be if not one of the best mathematics professor Ive seen in a long time. He was supportive all the way and he tries his best to help everyone. I will certainly remember him after graduation.
Professor Phan has definitely helped me a lot with my math skills. Coming back to it I thought Id have a lot of difficulty but he broke everything down a lot easier for me to understand and grasp. Hes always here for the students and I appreciate him so much for it! Thank you professor!!!
Professor Phan Was Great, He is a funny but serious professor. He teaches you different ways to handle math problems the simple and the more complex . I wish i could have him again!! His Timing To do assignments is very reasonable and helpful. As long as you pay rent and do good on quiz you will pass.( Not including 2 or more unexcused absences) FM
The Best Math Professor, He Explains Things Really Well, Hes Funny And Cares For His Students Thats OD!!!!
One of the amazing professor at laguardia. He is so caring for his students ,he wants all his students to pass.
Professor Phan is Phenomenal. You will not meet a professor that is more dedicated to his students. His sole goal is to provide an extremely clear understanding of the course. He provides the essential tools & we literally learned how to learn. Im so grateful to have taken his course. He is amazing & I strongly recommend his class.
Prof. Phan is one of the most inspirational and amazing professors I have came across in LaGuardia so far. his teaching was precise and effective as his teaching style filled with jokes and inspirational stories keeps the whole class active and cooperative. I would recommend all to choose him if you are taking statistics MAT120.
Professor Phan is the best Professor at LAGCC! He really cares for all students and try all he can to help us. He give extra credit, explain how many times are necessary. I would recommend his classes if you are not the top best student in math but still need to go through it. He'll definitely make a good impact in your academic life!
He is a great professor and human. He understands the students, and he tries to inspire us every time.
Hardest class I ever took! I struggled bad but professor ensured that we understood the material. Prof was very funny and his story is very inspirational. He works with you but you have to put the work in. As an older student this class had me discouraged at times but the prof always gave me encouraging words. Thank you so much Prof P.
Professor Phan was just amazing, he made Math 120 so easy. He cares about his student passing. As long you do your homework and put in your effort you pass this class. Thank you Professor Phan

One of my favorite and best instructor. If you just pay attention and do your homework I bet you could pass with flying colors. Great Professor. He is funny, caring, and gives thorough feedback!
One of the most amazing professors, very humble, inspiring, kind, and wants the best for the students. I honestly feel lucky and grateful to be able to take the math class with professor phan.
I am taking Prof. Phan's MAT115 class. His lectures are light and his teaching way makes students easy to understand. And, he wants to get his students extra-credit. He gives motivation and life lessons during the class, and wants his students successful. You should take his class if you need to plan attending MAT115. Thank you, prof.
One of the most amazing professor so far. He is inspiring, kind and gives very valuable information on the course. I am lucky and grateful to have this professor as my Math class. He gives a lot of extra credit and makes the class very easy to understand. You must take this professor for your math classes.
Amazing professor, would recommend !
He's a great professor. Gives out extra credit. Very inspirational story and cares deeply about his students performance in the class. Pretty funny so time in class can also go by fast. Only negative is large amount of material covered at a fast pace in class. Study little bit outside of class and do homework it will be very easy.
THE GOAT PROFESSOR @ LAGUARDIA. NO JOKE No homework super clear with assignments
Prof. Phan was amazing. Took him this spring semester and srsly the best mat120 professor. Make sure to do all the homework!! homework is super easy as long as you pay attention to his lectures. He gives inspirational speeches here and there but he wants to make sure you succeed. ALSO MAKE SURE TO STUDY FOR FINAL EXAM!! You won't be disappointed!
If you have chance, don't miss the best professor!
Nobody will fail his class if you just assignments and participate in class. His extra credit will take away your headache if you are one of those maths hater. His way of teaching is fun. Everybody fight for first bench unlike the last bench. Even last benchers will be first bencher in his class. Its like maths olympiad. We learn maths like a game.
Outstanding professor! Clear, engaging, and truly cares about student success.
Very good professor he do cares about you to learn the material plus he tries to keep you in the class at all times.
Great Professor!
He is THE BEST & wants only the best for his students. You need to do the HW and the quizzes. Show up to class and participate in the extra credit, he is very generous!! He gives the most simple explanations but you NEED to put in the effort. The dept final was very hard unfortunately or I would've gotten an A. PAY YOUR RENT!!!!! (-;
This the Best Statistic professor I have ever had. This professor cares about the students and wants everyone to learn and do well. A true testament of what a professor should be. He makes learning this subject fun and helps you if you don't understand. Studying and doing the homework is still a must to get a good grade. It was a honor, Thank you!
Professor Phan is the nicest within the Math department. In response to the previous commentor, Professor Phan does not ignore students questions, instead he tries to help them by completing multiple examples of every problem during class and encourages the students to positively use use youtube to help them better understand the concepts.
Entertaining lecturer, great guy. When it comes to his teaching, its in the middle. not horrible, not best either. he teach what you need to know, how to use calculator, to use youtube. he fair. he could improve in teaching. the students either complain too much or sugarcoat things.. I'm the only to give constructive feedback of good and bad.
Professor Phan is the GOAT! (Greatest of all time) he is so funny and great lecturer. Honestly he could go into comedy. Engaging class, I will be sad when his class ends. He is a real gem, you need to take him
Elementary statistics is a very challenging subject and professor Phan does a good job of narrowing down to the essentials, and finding solutions as efficiently as possible. You need a calculator. Professor is also very cognizant of the student's personal circumstances and gives plenty of chances for extra credit. Hilarious story-teller. Gracias!
This was the best professor I have ever had. He really cares about his students and wants everyone to pass. He gives a lot of extra credit, and he is very inspirational. If you want to pass for sure, take him. We all fight for first seats. I took him twice, for MAT115 and MAT120, because he is simply the best.
Very good and cooperative professor. Always answers email. He does his best to make every student participate and pass the semester. He is one of the best professors I met in my academic journey.
Professor Phan makes stats fun with his engaging lectures and great sense of humor. While the class isn't a cakewalk, he provides plenty of extra credit to help you succeed. Using Unstuck study along with the free textbook and attending office hours is key to mastering the material.
Very helpful and explains things in an easy and clear way. Makes learning math enjoyable with a good balance of jokes and information. Gives you a lot of opportunities to learn and do better in the class. I would recommend, amazing teacher.
He is so hilarious! Every classes, he gave the extra credits when we have a group work. Also, he taught mathematics easily. I gave up mathematics since I was young, but I could follow and understand it. THANK YOU for Phan!
Prof. Phan is an amazing mathematic professor. He does his best to keep his students engaged into lectures; by comparing the problems to real life situations: such as playing poker. He is very straight forward and takes his time when breaking down a difficult subject. He makes sure everybody understands it as well. He is the best!
Tremendous professor, very nice and funny and easy to learn as somehow who really doesn't like Math. 100% would take again.
He is so funny, and his lectures are amazing. He gives extra credits in the class for exams. Mathematics has always been a challenging subject for me but in his class, Math becomes interesting and easy. MAT119 is one of my favorite classes in LAGCC. THANK YOU Professor for making learning Math fun!
Great teacher very caring. 10/10
After over 20 years of being out of school, professor Phan has made the transition back a very enjoyable experience. His classes are always filled with positive energy and laughter. Would love to have him as a professor again.

To be honest, I was very bad in Math however, professor Phan gave me confidence and took out my skills. I recommend 💯 %. He indeed is the goat of Math in LGCC.
He's a passionate professor, an old school professor, with a excellent learning methodology, explaining all topics more than one time, answering all questions, being really patience with every single type of student, very approachable, very kind, in general his grade criteria is very easy to understand, he gives a lot of extra points to pass. 10/10
