Choosing a DVD study course means deciding what kind of learning you actually need. Are you shopping for a full algebra curriculum, a focused Algebra 1 review, a two-language audio-style set, or a mixed lecture library? The answers affect both how you study and how much you spend. The four courses here are priced between $16.95 and $75, so the real challenge is matching the format to the student.
Quick Take
For a structured Algebra 1, Pre-Algebra, and Algebra 2 curriculum with printed books plus DVDs, the Video Text Algebra Complete Course is the most complete option at $75.

Product Notes
Video Text Algebra Complete Course Books DVDs Homeschool Math Curriculum Set A-F
Video Text Algebra Complete Course is the closest thing here to a full course. It combines DVDs with books and paperback components, and the subject coverage is aimed at middle school and high school students studying algebra. The set covers modules A through F, and the DVDs are described as being in great condition and in their original cases. The limitation is in the printed materials: the overall condition is acceptable, the progress tests book has one version with writing in it, and modules B, C, and D do not include progress tests. That means you still get the complete video and text structure, but you should expect some used-book wear and may need to work around the written-in test pages.
Math Tutor DVD The Algebra 1 Tutor Vol 2 6-Hour Video Course 2-Disc DVD 2011
Math Tutor DVD The Algebra 1 Tutor Vol 2 is a straight-ahead video study aid. The 2011 set contains six hours of Algebra 1 lessons across two discs, which makes it useful for students who want to watch worked examples and review specific topics without carrying extra books. It comes in a DVD case and is described as being in very good condition. The trade-off is that this is Volume 2 only, so it does not include Volume 1 and it is a video-based set rather than a book-and-DVD course. If you already have a textbook or class structure, this DVD is a convenient way to add guided practice. If you need a full algebra course from the beginning, you will need to pair it with another volume or curriculum.
Learn Spanish & Hebrew Fast - Complete & Comprehensive Language Course on 2 DVDs
Learn Spanish & Hebrew Fast takes you out of the math aisle entirely. This is a language-study set, and the two DVDs are brand new. The course is described as MP3-style files rather than a printed book, so it is suited to computer-based listening practice. The course includes Spanish and Hebrew, so you can study two languages from the same set. The main limitation is that there are no physical books included, which means you will not get a workbook for written exercises. If your goal is audio-based language study on a Windows-compatible disc, this is the language option in this group and the only course that is brand new.
Lot Of 12 Assorted Great Courses DVDs Math, Religion, Philosophy ETC - See Video
The Great Courses lot is the variety pick. This lot puts 12 DVDs together under The Great Courses franchise, with genres including educational, history, and religion in addition to math and philosophy. The discs are used but described as working, and the set shows cosmetic wear such as scuffs, nicks, and blemishes. Because it is an assorted lot, the discs do not form one sequential course; an accompanying video shows the exact title mix. That makes it a good fit for someone who wants a mixed lecture library and is comfortable with used-condition media. If you need a complete, unified curriculum, this lot is not the right container for that.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- For a structured algebra curriculum: Choose Video Text Algebra Complete Course. It is the only set here with a full multi-module structure, though the used condition and missing progress tests in some modules mean you should inspect the materials.
- For compact Algebra 1 video review: The Math Tutor DVD Algebra 1 Tutor Vol 2 is the compact video pick. It is a convenient study aid, but Volume 2 does not stand alone as a full course, so pair it with a textbook or class.
- For a language-learning use case: Learn Spanish & Hebrew Fast is the language course in this group. It suits learners who want audio practice, with a listening-style format rather than a printed workbook.
- For a multi-subject lecture library: Lot Of 12 Assorted Great Courses DVDs delivers a varied mix in one purchase. Expect a used collection with cosmetic wear and an assorted structure rather than a single unified curriculum.
