About Mrs. Barnett

I earned a BS in Mathematics from the University of Oklahoma, taught in Texas public schools for 7 years, and then started a new career as a stay-at-home mom. As our family grew, we considered homeschooling and decided it would be an excellent fit.

Our family's homeschool journey began in 2001. We didn't start out with a plan to homeschool through high school graduation, but we grew to love the lifestyle and value the educational opportunities...so here we are! All four of our children have now graduated as home educated students, two are college graduates and two are in college currently. Brent and I are grateful thyat homeschooling our children has provided them with the opportunity to excel academically, socially, and in the areas of their individual interests. Two of our children have achieved recognition as National Merit Scholars and one is a Fulbright Scholar semi-finalist. 

I consider myself very blessed to be able to work with other families - sharing my joy and passion for math with the students, encouraging them towards excellence, and taking some of the burden from the parents. I love challenging students to become "Wise, Honest, Responsible, Intelligent, and Mature Students," (WHIRMS for short.) These attributes contribute to success in academics and in th rest of  life too! I consider classtime to be an opportunity to encourage students to develop their thinking skills as well as their understanding of mathematical concepts. 

Although most people will never solve a complicated equation in the "real world," everyone benefits from the ability to think abstractly and to apply previous learning to new situations. Math is logical, predictable, and beautiful in its design and it would be an honor to share my love of math with your student this school year!

Students tell me:

Parents tell me:

  • I would like to thank you for all that you have done for me these past years, you have pushed me in way to make me grow stronger and I could not appreciate that more. You have shined a light on learning and made it fun. 
  • If any one is looking for an EXCELLENT math class, High School Math Live is superb! I took pre-calculus this past year and my teacher Brenda Barnett showed and explained concepts I would have never thought I could have understood! She is a wonderful teacher who breaks down what seems to be complex concepts and conveys them in such a way that is ridiculously easy to understand. Mrs. Barnett makes it really enjoyable to learn. She is extremely patient, organized, smart, and wants you to learn it well! ​
  • I really enjoyed taking your class this year. You teach in a way that doesn't force us to think one way, but you allow us to think for ourselves. 
  • Thank you for trusting us to be wise, honest, responsible and mature students, and I will keep that in mind from now on. You have been my favorite teacher thus far in my schooling life, and I wanted to just thank you for taking the time to teach me. ​​
  • I personally can vouch for High School Math Live. This is an amazing online math school that has teachers that care about their students, and want them to excel. The founder, Brenda Barnett, is an amazing teacher. I can tell you from experience. I am going on my third year here and second with Brenda Barnett teaching me. She has not only taught me math exceptionally well, but how to think critically, and how to be a Wise Honest Responsible Student. She emphasizes to her students (including me) that she is not there only to teach math but also how to think. If you are thinking about High School Math Live, I (currently as a student there) would highly recommend to any and all.
  • Your class and instruction have taught her soooo much about not only Algebra but LIFE!  You are incredible teacher/mentor.  I will refer my friends in your direction. 
  • Best teacher I have seen in my life. Very fair, flexible, practical, honest teaching. Really cares about the child’s learning. Great, helpful person. My son loves this class. He would do only math all day, if he could get away with it.
  • You have been so supportive and remind me of the teachers from my childhood who taught because it was their "calling" in life, not because it was a job.  The kind that end up teaching you way more than the subject material! :)
  • Having you as a teacher really pushed my son to do his best and I love the wisdom you shared with the kids at the beginning of the school year (and throughout the year at times) about keeping up with their work and working to master each concept well. You truly inspire of love of learning math in our kids. I so often hear people comment, “I’m not a math person” or “my kid is just not a math person,” but I honestly think if everyone had a math teacher like you that helps them paint a math picture in their head, understand what is really going on in each concept, or to help them see the practical use of math and how it applies to the world around us, everyone would be 'math people!” 
  • The content is excellent and prepares the student for the next level of math class as well as for success on standardized tests like the SAT.
  • ​Brenda Barnett is encouraging and inspiring to our daughter. She expects excellence, and desire for each student to learn from their mistakes. She has fueled our daughters desire to pursue a degree in STEM.
  • Excellent feedback written directly on the turned in quizzes and tests has been showing my precalculus student exactly where their thinking went wrong. ​​
  • Brenda is friendly, knowledgeable, and always accessible! She works well with students. My son LOVES learning Math with her. She teaches at a fast pace AND explains very well.
  • This teacher inspires learning that applies to all of life, not just mathematics. She is a brilliant math teacher, but her vision for helping students succeed and love math are the qualities that put her over the top.
  • Mrs. Barnett is an outstanding teacher who explains concepts in a thorough, interesting, and clear manner. Her classes are engaging and fun, and she is always encouraging and helpful to the students.
  • Mrs. Barnett is a very diligent and dedicated teacher. It is clear from her feedback on assignments that she cares about whether the students are learning the material well.
  • ​My child’s teacher pushes him to apply himself and be a mature student to want more of himself.
  • My student knows that Mrs. Barnett wants him to succeed and feels comfortable reaching out to her for help when he is struggling with a concept. He has enjoyed the class and been inspired to work hard.
  • Mrs. Brenda cares deeply about her students, understands the unique needs of homeschool families, and always demonstrates professionalism.
  • Mrs. Barnett is very encouraging, fun, and tries to engage the students in a way that will make them remember and apply challenging math concepts. She has some math classes where she wants the kids to come to class w "ice cream," when there are hard concepts to learn. She is quick to grade quizzes and tests as well as helpful in addressing concerns that I have had for my student. She is super flexible in adjusting the submission deadline for quizzes and tests when the parent writes her about field trips, activities, or just "life" happening on certain weeks. She wants students to be successful and strives to do what she can to ensure that. 
  • ​Mrs. Barnett is a phenomenal online instructor! I speak as a veteran homeschooler of seven children who has used programs such as John Hopkins CTY online, Saxon, Math-U-See, Life of Fred, private tutors, and Teaching Textbooks. Of all these programs, I honestly believe that Mrs. Barnett's Algebra Honors has been one of our very best math investments. The quick grading and feedback is truly unrivaled. Mrs. Barnett has also been very understanding when my children have experienced difficulties and quickly supplied the extra help they needed to succeed.
  • ​Mrs. Barnett makes online/distance learning feel more personal than if my son was sitting in her actual classroom. The effectiveness of this class in unparalleled. ​​
  • My son actually looks forward to class instead of tolerating it. I frequently hear him laugh during class because of something "Mrs. Barnett said." If he decides to skip out of class and research classic trucks she is on it and emails me. Love the accountability and transparency.
