Cornelius Barnes

Math Made Simple, Etc., founded by Cornelius Barnes, has been committed to developing young minds since 1997.  Mr. Barnes is a certified/credentialed mathematics consultant with proven educational techniques that has helped students.

Mr. Barnes believes that most teachers do an admirable job in the classroom, but a large percentage of students still continue to not do well in traditional school settings. The assembly line nature of most schools don’t work well for some 21st century students. He believes that students need to interact, collaborate, and mentor with other students to help foster greater learning.  Mr. Barnes believes that Math Made Simple, Etc. can identify a student’s strengths and natural abilities to build a more solid foundation in English, math, and reading.
