I found James after interviewing multiple tutors for my sonsāone a high school senior, the other a college freshmanāand he immediately stood out. Not only is James knowledgeable across multiple subjects, but he also genuinely cares about his students. Hiring James turned out to be one of the best decisions we made.
My younger son attended a boarding sports academy and needed ACT prep. James was incredibly flexible, finding time within my son's packed schedule and managing to fit in numerous sessions. Throughout this intense and challenging process, James remained consistently positive, patient, and encouraging.
My older son, a college freshman, faces his own set of challenges, including fairly profound ADHD. James supported him not only with academic subjects but also with organizational skills. James checked in weekly to help plan out his schedule, stay on track, and remain accountable. He built a strong rapport with both of my sons and developed personalized, thoughtful plans tailored to each of their needs. The Personal Professor's Academic Partner Program was critical to my sons' continued success.
In the end, both of my sons benefited greatly from Jamesā mentorship and made tremendous academic progress. Furthermore, both of them are eager to continue working with James next yearāa true testament to his effectiveness as both a tutor and a mentor.

My daughter had a great experience and although English is her second language, the tutoring helped a lot. She boosted her score 180 points in 6 weeks and I am planning to use SoFlo for my next child.

What an asset for our students! With an exceedingly calm demeanor and endless patience Mr. Preston is a great tutor. Immediately he made my son feel comfortable and methodically evaluated areas for improvement and seamlessly implemented a participative approach that lead him to conclusions rather than just solving problems and hoping my son would learn without the work. Especially effective was Mr. Preston's ability to distill complex mathematical problems (Geometry/Calculus) to more easily understandable functions. We are very impressed and even more grateful for the professional and compassionate tutoring from Mr. Preston. My son improved his SAT score substantially and will be heading to college in the spring a better student.
