I am a 4th-year university student majoring in Computer Science. I am enthusiastic and encouraging with all the students I work with! I have been teaching for roughly 3 years and had students from 2nd grade to 8th grade. I am open to tutoring anyone willing to learn. My goal as a tutor is, not only for students and parents to see tangible results, but for students to feel confident and excited about learning!

Hudson V. says, "Eddie is a really awesome tutor. When I started my tutoring I was really struggling with my math class and I totally hated math. After tutoring three days a week for two hours each session over three months, my improvement was way better than I ever thought it would be. When I took my final exam, I really went in feeling like I would do great. I wasn't scared of the test anymore like I was before tutoring. I was failing my math class and I needed to get an 85 on my final exam to pass the class. I got an 88 on my final! I love Eddie so much for the way he taught me math and helped me improve so far above what I thought would be a miracle!! Eddie is the best math tutor you could ever get and I recommend him so much!!" Read more

I incorporate a variety of techniques to tailor lessons to students’ unique personalities, goals, and learning styles.

Additionally, I don’t just help students to understand and apply lesson content, I instill in them good study habits, including leveraging techniques (such as creating acronyms and associations) to enable them to learn and retain information more rapidly and reliably. I enjoy enab...

We just moved to the US from Korea and the change has been very tough for my kids. They are not familiar with the US school system and falling behind. I saw their confidence draining. But all of that changed when SoFlo came into the picture. To start, they gave a free assessment so they could figure out where my children were struggling. From there we had weekly tutoring sessions that my kids actually enjoy. I am seeing their confidence return and life in the US get better for them

I really liked the way Zanetta (and her mask)came to meet with myself and my husband to learn about the needs of Michael, our son. He has special needs so it's important to us that we have someone who is understanding of his needs. Our tutor was awesome and we were pleasantly surprised by how well she worked with our son. It was a little more expensive than we anticipated, but, well worth it. His grades have improved and so has his confidence.

"I highly recommend Mr. Eddie Nazzal and his tutoring services. He has helped me immensely in my high school Algebra II class, and increased my knowledge and understanding of the material. My grade went from a D to a B in only one quarter! Also, my speed and accuracy on tests improved, which is very important for the timed final exam that I take at the end of the year."
