Arpan B. says, "I had been struggling in my math class in high school, so I looked around for a a math tutor. I was unsure about whether I would have a tutor who understood everything that I was doing and could answer all the questions I had. This was also the first time that I was going to a tutor, so I didn’t know how it was going work. Working with Vincent helped me to become a focused math student, and as a result my grades got much better. I also began to have a true understanding of the math I was learning. I also developed a relationship with Vincent where I was comfortable working with him and talking with him. He became a mentor and someone I could go to for advice. I would gladly vouch for Vincent any day of the week, and I believe that there are so many students who could benefit from working with Vincent. Working with Vincent certainly helped make math fun for me!" Read more

How do I know if my child needs a math tutor?

Your child may need a math tutor if:

  • Their grades or test scores are declining
  • They get confused or frustrated with homework
  • They are having difficulty or lacking confidence with numbers
  • 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?

Tutors suggest a minimum of one tutoring session per week until students build confidence, understand the subject, and improve grades. 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?

Math tutors are responsible for helping students with homework, teaching various mathematical concepts, motivating and boosting confidence, and teaching skills like note-taking, studying, and test-taking. Math tutors also show how to perform calculations, processes, and computations to complete their assignments.

What qualities make a good math tutor?

Look for the following qualities in a math tutor:

  • Expertise and knowledge on the subject
  • A good communicator and motivator

Mary Jane K.
Daniel is an absolutely incredible tutor - not only brilliant, but also able to teach concepts quickly and effectively. He is actually the best tutor I have seen in math/sciences/SAT prep. He is helping both my son and daughter and they feel that he manages to make sessions genuinely entertaining as well. We would highly recommend Daniel as a tutor in SAT prep (all areas)/math and science courses!

Jay would always keep in contact with me to let me know what my son was learning, how he was improving, and how I could help outside of class. My son's American Math Competition scores rose tremendously from 16/25 to 22/25. His school math grades improved from a B to a solid A.

Vickie is really good at explaining the details while not letting you get lost in them. She helped me figure out a different way of looking at chemical processes. She’s also really patient and gives careful attention to her students. It was a pleasure having her as a tutor!

Sunny was extremely helpful, professional and nice! I was requesting a tutor with virtually an hours notice. Within 10 minutes Sunny got back to me and was doing her best to set my son up with a tutor. Thankfully an hour later, Derek was able to come over and help. Derek was awesome! He explained things very well and went through the Math problems step by step. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and answered all my son’s questions. I really appreciated both Sunny and Derek’s help today! If in the future, my son needs help again, I know exactly where to go! 😊

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!

Juliette is the best tutor I have ever had. She helped me with my math homework for over a year while she was starting college and was so nice. She really helped me to understand how important learning is and also how important it is to make mistakes and learn from them. I loved having her tutor me and she helped me get an A in the class.
