I am interested in and take joy in attending to the wants and needs of my students. I carefully spend my time crafting exercises and looking through various curricula and books to aid students in becoming the best version of themselves in their math and/or physics classes. Having tutored students in these subjects for the past 5 years and a double bachelor's degree in Physics and Astrophysics from UC Berkeley with a >3.5 GPA in both majors, I consider myself a highly qualified tutor. I hope that we can make an arrangement and I can best serve you!...

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!
