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 am a freelance, college educated mathematician looking to get into some tutoring to mix up the monotony of my daily work life. I love serving others and helping whenever and wherever I am needed.

What I love the most about working with students is getting to know who they are as people. When we work together, it's important to get the information down - but it's more important to learn in a safe and healthy environment. I genuinely love seeing young minds expand and grow. I believe what sets my service apart is the fact that I'm actively working within the Columbia Public Schools system so I have my finger close to the pulse of the education system. I've spent time tutoring both elementary math and English and understand how to communicate with struggling students.

How do I know if my child needs a math tutor?

Your child may need a math tutor if:

  • Their grades or test scores are declining
  • They get confused or frustrated with homework
  • They are having difficulty or lacking confidence with numbers
  • 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?

Tutors suggest a minimum of one tutoring session per week until students build confidence, understand the subject, and improve grades. 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?

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. Math tutors also show how to perform calculations, processes, and computations to complete their assignments.

What qualities make a good math tutor?

Look for the following qualities in a math tutor:

  • Expertise and knowledge on the subject
  • A good communicator and motivator

Reviews for Columbia math tutors

Ellen B.
Jeff did a great job of helping my daughter with her college Chemistry class. I am sure that is why she got an "A" in it. She was having difficulty understanding the topics and he explained the material so that it was clear to her. My daughter will be working with him again when she takes her next chemistry course. I would certainly recommend him to anyone who wants to do well in their chemistry courses.
