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

  • You are no longer able to provide help with homework or learning

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

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!

Ms. Kristen is a wonderful tutor I highly recommend! She is patient but firm, and truly teaches the child- far beyond what is taught in the classroom — I’ve been very impressed. Ms. Kristen seems to acknowledge the commitment that tutoring is, not only for the child, but for the parent(s)as well, and keeps the child on task, which I appreciate. My daughter’s grades have gone up noticeably since working with Ms. Kristen. Finally, Ms. Kristen is very communicative with the parent and gives reports following each session which I find so important and helpful.
