Oy, sounds like this person is making class very unpleasant for you.
This person is clearly overstepping your boundaries and now its time to make him aware of the fact. To state a common truth about interpersonal relationships - we teach people how to treat us. Therefore if you allow this to go on, you are effectively giving him the signal that its ok for him to talk to you that way.
Clearly, however, its not ok. Aleea is right, this person needs to be spoken to. My suggestion is that the next time you feel he is being rude to you, you need to clearly state your objection to his behavior. He's only treating you like this, because he can. If you put your foot down, its likely he will stop.
Confrontation is never pleasant, but currently your experience of the course is in the hands of someone else. You have the right to assert your feelings - take back your power from this person.
All the best.
