I am always excited to see my students and will attend to your child's needs with positivity and enthusiasm! My goal is success, so I work very hard to personalize curricula to meet each students academic goals as well as their personal interests. My 20 years of experience working in the classroom and private tutoring has provided me with a wealth of resources, materials, and activities to give every student an opporunity to grow! My favorite part of teaching is the ah-ha moment a student experiences when the puzzle pieces of a new or challenging concept fit together in their mind and they find success! I love working with special needs stude...

I earned a Bachelors Degree with a dual major in Math and Physics and a minor in Computer Science in 1983. I have had a career using those skills in IT as a programmer, pre sales and customer support. I have always enjoyed a role where I combine technical skills and people skills. I was a tutor in college, I tutored my own children in Math and Science, and at one point I pursed a teaching credential in California and completed CBEST, then decided to refocus on my IT career. I am retired now and want to focus on tutoring and sharing my love for math and science again.

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

I built my own consulting company and sold it and would love to just give back to students not only helping them with math, but helping them navigate business obstacles and I graduated from UCI where I got my tutoring experience, I am a natural consultant who would want to know each student individually as well as get to know their personal goals. I will provide quick, concise responses for those in a hurry, and slow, methodic teaching for those looking to understand the material on a deeper level. I welcome parent feedback and will alter my methods based on parental goals as well.

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

Though we only just began working together, I must say that Brooke has been absolutely amazing! Patient, kind, flexible, very professional yet personable, and she knows her stuff. Brooke understands that everyone has a different way of learning and is very accommodating, finding the best way to make sure the student truly understands the lesson at hand. I genuinely cannot recommend her enough! Working with her has been a WONDERFUL experience thus far!

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!
