I know what it feels like to need a math tutor because I needed a lot of help and tutoring my first years of college. Eventually I became very good at math and earned A's in college algebra, trigonometry, calculus and other math classes. I have a unique ability to relate to students in need of a math tutor because I was a student in need of a math tutor. I understand what it's like to need and recieve help and my experience as a student in need of a tutor has helped me become the best tutor for my students. I have been a tutor for five years....

Fun fact: I can recite every line of the movie The Princess Bride. Hi, my name is Sylvia. I find that tutoring is most rewarding when a new concept “clicks” with a student - their excitement is contagious, and it’s a privilege to be able to help them reach that point! On a personal level, I am a friendly, outdoorsy, athletic, and talkative type of person! I partner with students on a one-on-one basis in STEM subjects through SoFlo Tutors, my tutoring agency. I studied Economics at the University of St. Andrews and have been tutoring for 2 years. At SoFlo, we identify gaps in a student’s knowledge of a subject and help to fill them in with in

Kangsoo Y. says, "We just moved to the US from Korea and the change has been very tough for my kids. They are not familiar with the US school system and falling behind. I saw their confidence draining. But all of that changed when SoFlo came into the picture. To start, they gave a free assessment so they could figure out where my children were struggling. From there we had weekly tutoring sessions that my kids actually enjoy. I am seeing their confidence return and life in the US get better for them" Read more

I have a generous amount of experience working with struggling students. I have adapted curriculum to fit the needs of each individual student. It is my goal to find which learning pattern works for each student. Every student can be successful when the student is clear what learning methods and styles work for him/her. I enjoy helping and supporting a student to find their way of learning material. I love when students start clicking with and understanding the material. ....

Hi! I'm Sofia. I love working with students and traveling. For me, the most rewarding part of tutoring is when a new concept “clicks” with a student - it’s a privilege to be able to help them reach that point!

  • 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?

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.

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!

One more person to add to your list of SoFlo successes! One need not look any further for a statistics tutor. Our tutor Manny yield successful results! His experience is evident as is his love of teaching. He identified my problems at their root and created a customized plan to help me improve. My tutor is a great motivator, making the material relevant and easy to understand with nice examples. Thank you for helping restore my confidence. The world needs great teachers as talented and devoted as you are Manny. I can say that you are in a league of your own. What a great mathematician/statistician you are! I tried two other statistics instructors that had great reviews and high credentials, but they did not make a positive enough impact on my statistics learning like you were able to do for me. They also charged more. I achieved more learning in less time when you taught. You're smart and you care for all the right reasons. My only regret or misfortune was that I had not discovered you earlier. Results are achievable with you! I'm living proof!

She is extremely adaptive and can explain things in a variety of different ways. She helps me understand the process and provides steps and check-in points I should ask myself when completing problems. I always leave our sessions with a clear understanding of what we covered in our sessions and I understand how it ties into the bigger concepts.
