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 daugher was offered multiple methods to solve the same problem. I recommend SoFlo highly!

Tai is an amazing tutor! He takes his time with explaining the materials and going over different math problems. He creates conversation so one can feel comfortable throughout the session. I got a solid A with his help! I could not have done it without his expertise and professionalism. I would highly recommend Tai for anybody. He is worth the price! Thank you Tai!

Dan is an excellent tutor. He is both knowledgeable and patient and you can tell he genuinely enjoys helping others learn. My last math class was over about a decade ago and he really helped me refresh my knowledge as well as learning new material!

I found several tutors for my son to talk with but after meeting Perry, he knew he was the one. Personable, knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and after only a few sessions, my son got impressive results.
