Jennifer L. says, "Our daughter had college goals in which every point mattered - on her GPA and ACT. We looked at several options for test prep and Joyee had a very no-nonsense, personalized approach. We saw an eight-point increase on her ACT which contributed to not only early acceptance, but a scholarship at a prominent UC school. If results matter, call Joyee. I don’t know how he does it, but he did. Proud of them both." Read more

As a current Honors college student with 5+ years of tutoring experience, all K-12 material and advanced math/science/engineering course are still particularly fresh in my mind. I am a triple major in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Business Management. I have worked with a variety of aged students, from kindergarteners to fellow college students. I get to know each student individually and get to know their personal goals and their parents goals when relevant. I provide concise, efficient responses for those in a hurry or needing review of a lot of material quickly, and slow, methodic teaching for those looking to understand t

Kangsoo Y. says, "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" Read more

Marc E. says, "When I first began my calculus class, I was overwhelmed by the complexity of the subject and uncertain of my ability to grasp the intricate concepts. From our very first session, it became clear that I was in the hands of an exceptional tutor. FRANK has a genuine gift for breaking down intricate mathematical concepts into digestible and understandable components. His patience, deep knowledge, and passion for the subject are truly commendable. Each session was tailored to address my specific areas of concern, and FRANK consistently employed various teaching methods to ensure that I truly grasped the topic at hand. Beyond the lessons, what truly stood out was his genuine interest in my success. Whether it was providing additional resources, being available for last-minute doubts, or offering words of encouragement, FRANK went above and beyond the role of a typical tutor. Thanks to FRANK, not only did I pass my calculus class, but I did so with a newfound appreciation and understanding of the subject. If you're struggling with calculus (or any math topic, for that matter), I recommend my man FRANK." Read more

Johnathan M. says, "I loved the availability and flexibility Audrey had, she was always finding a way to help me no matter the time or day. She was very patient and was always able to explain things in a relatable way. I loved how after she would explain a concept to me, she would have me do multiple practice problems without her help to ensure that I knew how to do the problems. I had Audrey for 3 semesters of math tutoring: Trig, Precalc and Business Calc and I never finished any class with lower than a 98 and I truly give the credit to Audrey. I recommend her to anyone that needs any amount of help with math!" Read more

My daughter had to write a pre-algebra test in a few days and I was concerned she was struggling. I contacted SoFlo online, expressed my concern and in spite of the tight schedule they moved things around to accommodate my daughter. I witnessed the session and it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I love the teaching method, and that my daughter was offered multiple methods to solve the same problem. I recommend SoFlo highly!
