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

Teach a variety of methods, which I acquired in a long 15-year tutoring/learning experience which also allows me to adapt to the student's learning skill. My preference is high school and college students but open to tutor middle schoolers as well.

Hey, I’m Francisco! I am a student at CSULA studying applied mathematics. Math can be challenging to learn, many people lose interest in it. We need to understand and comprehend the basic ideas and concepts of a specific part of math to make math simple. My goal is to help students improve their math skills and build confidence on themselves. Math is one of my favorite subject. I really enjoy playing with numbers and trying to figure it any type of problems/equations. Learning math should not just be computing numbers, but also to explain in plain words. I love to help people not just master material they thought they could never understand b...

I have been tutoring since I started my undergraduate physics degree in 2016. I am currently studying physics as a PhD student and have extensive knowledge in math and physics as well as some experience in computer science. I feel that every student is capable, often what is missing is individualized instruction in a way that makes sense to them. My favorite part of tutoring and teaching is seeing the student understand a new subject. The joy of learning something new is amazing....

  • They are excelling in school and need more challenging tasks
  • You are no longer able to provide help with homework or learning
  • They have a learning disability

How many math tutoring sessions are needed?

Sometimes, a few tutoring sessions can help students get back on track and regain confidence. If the student struggles in two or more classes, more sessions are recommended. On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

What do private math tutors do?

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!

Diego showed his skills as a tutor explaining a math theory to my son that he hardly understood before. Diego is so experienced, knowing that not everyone learns the same way, and he knew right away how to teach complex concepts so my son got them!

Branden was very thorough and informative. He made sure to cover the information I needed to learn in a way that was easily understood and enjoyable. Branden made learning Physics far more easy to digest and relate to my own life, which made learning and applying it throughout my life that much more enjoyable and natural. I highly recommend working with Branden and will definitely be reaching out to him for tutoring again in the near future!
