I’ve always struggled with math, especially when it came to understanding concepts like geometry. No matter how hard I tried, it just never seemed to click—until I started working with Padraic O'Donnell. He has a way of breaking things down that actually makes sense, and for the first time, I feel confident tackling problems that used to totally confuse me. It’s such a relief to finally have someone who not only knows the material but also knows how to teach it in a way that works for me!

I am very lucky and happy to have found Brenda to help my kid with her high school English, Language Arts, AP Seminar & Research topics. It has been almost 2 years since she has been working with my daughter and it has been one of the best decisions I have made. She has been a great teacher, resource, and a mentor for my daughter. Brenda excels in helping the student gain skills that help in the long run without sacrificing the short term goals. My daughter's improved confidence, skills, and scores have a lot to do with Brenda's efforts.
In addition to her work, Brenda is always willing and available to adjust schedules or provide input at a short notice. One of the great things I like is seeing my daughter reach out to Brenda without hesitation when she needs input on research topic or papers etc. and she was always available to guide her.
Brenda's background and skills are perfect for anyone looking for improving not only their subject matter/scores but also as someone who can give valuable opinion and input whether it is preparing for college essays or academics.

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!

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

I love YOUnique Minds. Sign up process was very easy. Pleasant director, she answer all my questions. Tutoring has been going well. Tutor has been very patient. We have done virtual,face to face and group. She has been engaged and loved all of them. She looks forward to each class. I also love that one of her tutors sends me a report of what they did and where she should focus her time next session. Overall I am pleased.

The COVID lockdowns of our public schools, spanning two academic school years, severely impacted our son. He lost interest in everything except video games. His sense of apathy turned into a strong trait of "learned helplessness". Disciplinary incidents were always someone else's fault. Every adversity was another reason to give up.
Ms. DiDomenico agreed to take on a very tough case with our son. She patiently introduced him to the principles of the Growth Mindset. She made subtle and consistent suggestions to introduce him to the concept of personal accountability.
Working with Ms. DiDomenico, his grades steadily improved. More importantly, he developed his own goals. We were beyond surprised (shocked, actually) when he announced that he had identified a new school, applied, and went through multiple rounds of interviews on his own!
He is now studying abroad on a full scholarship.
