Danielle G. says, "Aniruddha has been nothing but excellent, knowledgeable, and kind. He is a brilliant teacher who far surpasses any math education experience my daughter has had her entire school career. He has gotten my daughter from average grades in precalculus to all As. His style of teaching is interactive and what math education should be. He is kind and patient, as well as flexible with scheduling. We will continue with A2 tutoring for AP calculus next year, as I know his teaching will be far superior to any education she will get at the high school. I give my highest recommendations, and I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Aniruddha. A+++++" Read more

Anne A. says, "I have known and hired Dan as a math tutor since 2015. Dan has worked with all three of my high school aged children. Dan has an incredible way of assessing the needs of the student he is working with, and tailoring his tutoring style to best suit the student. The comment I heard most from my kids (all with very differnt learning styles) was "Dan is SO good at explaining things! If I don't understand a problem, he can explain it a whole different way - even a third way if needed. He is so much better at explaining math concepts than any of my high school teachers." As a parent, I apprecialte Dan's calm demeanor and professionalism while still remaining relatable to the students he is working with. I highly recommend Dan as a subject tutor or test prep tutor. He is fantastic." Read more

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
