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!

I had the pleasure of working with Ali as my tutor for intermediate algebra, and I can confidently say that it was an exceptional learning experience. Ali's dedication, expertise, and patience truly set him apart as a remarkable educator.
From the very beginning, Ali demonstrated a deep understanding of the subject matter and a genuine passion for teaching. He was able to break down complex algebraic concepts into digestible bits of information, making it easier for me to grasp and apply them in my assignments and exams. His explanations were always clear, concise, and tailored to my learning style, ensuring that I could follow along and ask questions whenever needed.
One of the aspects that impressed me the most about Ali was his unwavering patience and willingness to go the extra mile to help me succeed. He never rushed through any topic and always took the time to ensure that I fully understood the material before moving on to the next concept. His encouragement and positive reinforcement motivated me to push myself and strive for excellence in my algebra studies.
Furthermore, Ali's availability and flexibility were commendable. He was always prompt in responding to my queries and accommodating when it came to scheduling tutoring sessions. His commitment to my academic growth was evident in his approach, as he consistently challenged me to think critically and problem-solve independently.
Overall, my experience with Ali as my intermediate algebra tutor was nothing short of fantastic. Thanks to his guidance and support, I was able to improve my understanding of algebraic principles and achieve success in my coursework. I would highly recommend Ali to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated tutor who is truly invested in their students' learning journey.
