My passion for tutoring comes from a lifelong love of learning. I graduated from Vanderbilt in 2018 with a BA in Molecular and Cellular Biology and I am currently a medical student. I began tutoring when I was in high school. Since then, I have helped countless students achieve their academic goals. I currently have 10+ years of tutoring experience, which has enabled me to refine my skills to provide the best possible support to my students. I also received extensive training from an ACT/SAT test prep company where I was formerly employed. Though I specialize in tutoring math and science, I have experience with college counseling, essay editi

Patrick W. says, "Dan is an excellent tutor! My son had not taken math since his Sophomore Year in High School; however, the college program he entered as a Freshman expected him to take Calculus. After the first assessment, we were concerned that he was lacking some of the important knowledge and skills necessary to be successful. Enter Dan! He worked diligently with my son, providing him with insightful instruction, which built J's confidence as the class progressed. Over the course of the semester, my son and Dan established an excellent student/tutor relationship that resulted in an outstanding final mark in Calculus. I would highly recommend Dan as a tutor!"

Fun fact: traveling is my favorite pastime. Especially to Chicago! Hi, my name is Sofia, and I am a tutor. I love working with students. The most rewarding part of tutoring for me is when a new concept “clicks” with a student - their excitement is contagious, and it’s a privilege to be able to help them reach that point! On a more personal level, and with my students, I am a patient and kind of nerdy person. I partner with students on a one-on-one basis in STEM subjects through SoFlo Tutors, my tutoring agency. I graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in Computer Engineering and have been tutoring with SoFlo for 2 years. Math and

Hi! My name is Crystal. I have tutored for 3 years but also have over 100 hrs of classroom experience during my time in college studying education and math. I try to make tutoring as fun for the student as possible while still getting work done. Not only do I collaborate with the parent on what they would like their child to work on but vi like to include the student in this process as well and see what they would like to happen during the tutoring process.

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

How many math tutoring sessions are needed?

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?

Dan is an excellent tutor, he explained the calculus problem in great detail and was very patient. He was always willing to meet even with short notice. His fees are very reasonable and I will definitely recommend him as tutor/ teacher. I had limited history in calculus and I was able to achieve a B+ in my college history course, thanks to Dan and his excellent communication skills!!!!!!!! Thank You Dan for helping me achieve my goals.

I really enjoy working with Ms. Shannon. I like the personalized curriculum that goes at my pace. Sometimes I need more time to learn or fully comprehend subjects or topics and other times I can fly through them and I am able to because its 1:1. Even though at first I thought online learning would be hard, Ms. Shannon has made it fun and easy. During our 1:1 tutoring sessions, I ask questions, we discuss my understanding and how to apply it to my studies. I really enjoy homeschooling now!
