My son said he is the best math tutor he ever had. He explains concepts in a manner that is easy for me to understand.

I am the father of a recent graduate of Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, IL. I wrote this review in September 2018 but didn’t have a good medium on which to post it until now. - My son graduated Stevenson in May 2018 and started as a freshman at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in September 2018. - During elementary and middle school, my son struggled with mathematics. Although he was a good student overall, he often got frustrated by his math homework and tests. He had trouble grasping math concepts and applying them when needed. - When entering 6th grade, we recognized that he needed a tutor as the math curriculum became more challenging. - Math tutor Barry Lapping came highly recommended from a another Stevenson HS family who had hired Barry a couple of years earlier and saw great results with her children. - Mr. Lapping first started tutoring my son in October 2011. He and my son connected quickly, and it became apparent that Mr. Lapping had the ability to manage my son’s frustrations with math while moving him through the lessons. With Mr. Lapping’s patience, calm demeanor, and his years of tutoring students, we watched my son become a more confident and much higher-performing math student. (Note: Mr. Lapping was sure to provide my wife and me with a recap of each tutoring session along with next steps. We felt as if we were always fully informed.) - When our son entered Stevenson High School in 2014, he was placed in a more accelerated math program. The tutoring he had done with Mr. Lapping had paid off. In fact, by the time he was a senior, with ongoing and regular math tutoring from Mr. Lapping throughout high school, my son received straight A’s in his math classes his Junior and Senior years. He also received a top test score of 5 on his Advanced Placement Calculus A-B class in the Spring of 2018. He celebrated this success with a call to Mr. Lapping! - When I asked my son why he thought Mr. Lapping was so effective as a tutor, he said that it was because Mr. Lapping had a thorough understanding of the math concepts at hand and made it a point to help students understand the concepts and the process behind the math. He said Mr. Lapping wouldn’t just give you an answer, he worked with you to understand the answer and the concepts that led you to it. - My son credits Mr. Lapping for much of his success in mathematics and has recently expressed interest in the actuarial sciences as a collegiate path of study. Prior to Mr. Lapping, this possibility would have never crossed our minds. - My wife and I agree that hiring Mr. Lapping made a significant and positive impact on our son and his future. We believe that any student who has the opportunity to work with Mr. Lapping and experience his tutoring will benefit greatly. He is highly recommended as a math tutor.

Rachel tutored my daughter for two years in Math. Both my daughter’s classroom grade and her Math MAP score improved significantly. Rachel was flexible when it came to scheduling and understanding when it came to last minute tutoring requests prior to tests. She’s both professional and caring at the same time.

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!

Amanda is great! She has helped my 6th grader w his language arts and literature classes. She has been amazing at helping him with comprehension and working on his weaknesses. She takes time to find out his struggles really work on them. We are so grateful to have found her!

I enjoyed the one-on-one experience with my past math tutors. Usually, in a big class setting I feel forgotten and easily lost in the math process, and become frustrated. Atleast in a math tutoring atmosphere, the tutor goes at the pace I'm comfortable with, and breaks it down slowly for me to understand the steps. Also the tutor is focused on you only in most scenarios, which also helps when you don't understand right away, and you can ask for assistance. The stress level is also at a all-time low because you don't feel rushed in a tutor setting. In class, you feel rushed to a certain extent.

Jim was very nice. My son that needed the tutor really liked him, asked me to have him keep coming. Understood his "way" of math. See you next week Jim!
