I have been an elementary school teacher and private tutor for nearly 18 years. I enjoy working with children, either one on one or in small groups. Private tutoring can focus on a student's individual talents and challenges. It is essential to pinpoint and clear up any confusion or barriers that are blocking a student's comprehension in any particular area of study. Once this is addressed, he or she will improve and move forward with greater success. I love working with kids. I love seeing their faces brighten, when they really "get it", and are excited about learning. I also feel tremendous satisfaction, when I can help a student over...

Alex O. says, "I liked how Mike narrowed down the key concepts in every section of each chapter that my Calculus 1 course covered. He helped me achieve my goal of comprehension and application by explaining the definition of each formula, theorem, rule, etc. and then walking me through example problems step-by-step until I felt confident in my ability. Above all, he helped me accomplish all of this while I was under the stress of racing against time. Had my mother not found this tutor, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to learn the material, complete the assignments and projects, and ,with full confidence, take the final exam all in time. Not only did Michael help me save my grade, he also helped me on my college path as I need a solid understanding of Calculus 1 for my Biology Major going forward. A lot of the calculations I’ll be performing once I become a scientist will be grounded in Calculus (I.e derivatives), so Michael’s help in forming a solid foundation in Calculus was crucial to me. I’d definitely recommend him as a College/High school level Math and Physics tutor. I’ll be sure to refer him to a close friend of mine who shares my level of struggle with Pre-Calculus." Read more

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

She really puts her all into each lesson and never brushes over anything. She also never made me feel bad for not understanding anything which was really beneficial to me wanting to come into our sessions everyday. Overall she is an amazing tutor and I really wouldn't have improved my score as much as i was able to without her help." Read more

  • They are excelling in school and need more challenging tasks
  • You are no longer able to provide help with homework or learning

Sometimes, a few tutoring sessions can help students get back on track and regain confidence. If the student struggles in two or more classes, more sessions are recommended. On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

What do private math tutors do?

Mike relates well with the student and teacher. Mike is very engaging and able to provide support to the student while building confidence. Mike is very responsive and flexible with scheduling needs. Mike has worked with my son for two years now and I highly recommend him to any student in need of support with high school/college math or physics.

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!
