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

Hi! My name is Nawfal. I'm a civil engineering graduate from Purdue university working in the transportation industry. during my time at Purdue, I got a tutoring position in the mathematics department and quickly discovered how much I enjoyed teaching mathematics and physics. I generally got good feedback from the students I tutored and recently thought, since I enjoyed it so much, why not do it again and help the countless number of students that struggle with "scary" subjects such as mathematics.

Karen L.
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!

Ben is very patient and thorough with the kids. He loves maths himself so teaching it is more of a passion for him than it is work. He has even written several math books. I would definitely recommend him
