Kei S. says, "Great tutor who is very patient and helpful. Adapts to my needs. There's a little "curse of knowledge" going on--ie, the assumption that I know more than I really do---but we work together to overcome that. Additionally, my tutor suggested some behavioral habits and minor diet changes that actually worked for me. I will be working with my tutor, Fred, again!" Read more

  • 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?

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

What do private math tutors do?

Diego showed his skills as a tutor explaining a math theory to my son that he hardly understood before. Diego is so experienced, knowing that not everyone learns the same way, and he knew right away how to teach complex concepts so my son got them!

On time, professional teaching , ever since I started working with eurekademics I have been able to pass all my classes and understand the concept of each lesson. Gene is a very professional teacher and is always there on time whenever you need him. I have never failed working with him in any of my classes. He is also professionally licensed in all his teachings so if you ever need any form of certification or work permit he can certify you.

My daughter's and son's teachers are saying that they improved in writing and math Their tutors are very attentive and friendly to working with all the kids The other thing that makes me depend on tutoring is that she challenges the kids and gives them homework outside of the tutoring sessions ******* its been like two years and this is a Great investment!!!!******

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!
