Hi, I'm Colin, and a fun fact about me is that I can move my middle finger tendon without moving my finger. I also love working with students!

On a more personal level, I am a gamer, musician, and outdoorsy type of person! I partner with students on a one-on-one basis in STEM subjects through SoFlo Tutors, my tutoring agency. I studied Applied and Computational Math at the University of Southern California and have been tutoring for 3 years. At SoFlo, we know

  • 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?

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

What do private math tutors do?

Reviews for Portland math tutors

Recent success stories from people in the Portland area.
Natalie B.
I have worked with Ammar for a couple semesters. I was lost with my algebra class and he was such an amazing teacher who went above and beyond in helping me. I even asked for his help in my physics class. He was always on top of things and explaining in ways I would understand. Because of his help I was able to get the A's that I needed for my program. I would highly recommend Ammar. He is very kind and trustworthy and I will use him for any future help I may need, highly recommended 10/10!!

Mary Jo is exactly what my child needs. She is able to meet him just where he is (which changes day to day), motivates him to learn and grow, provides him with so many different ways of learning and different activities to keep him engaged. Her energy is amazing and she is obviously doing this because she cares about children and is excited herself to see them learn and improve. We are so lucky to have her helping our son.
