My son is on the spectrum and our tutor Lauren had an amazing connection with him. She was able to understand his quirky approach to problem solving and worked with him on his level. I’d have him work with her again in a heartbeat. She was smart and adaptable.

We've tried tutors in the past, but Ahsan has a special gift for explaining complex concepts and was such a pleasure to work with. His experience with online learning made it so easy and convenient for my daughter to connect when she needed extra help. I can't recommend him enough.

She works well with my 1st grader. She tutors on his level and differentiates instruction as needed. I am pleased with her methods and my son's progress.
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 daugher was offered multiple methods to solve the same problem. I recommend SoFlo highly!

Jessica was experienced, knowledgeable, & positive. She really is able to think out of the box to come up with so many creative ways to teach the material, which is what she did until she learned what helped my son & daughter, who both had different needs & learning styles. They went from timid & shy answering questions to barely being able to contain themselves for their turn to speck up. They were always excited for their session, which was great. The enthusiasm they showed after their lessons to share their new knowledge with their father & me warmed our hearts as you could just feel the pride beaming from them..& us. I couldn’t imagine anyone I would trust with my kids more to guide them to both success now as well as their drive to keep learning & being the best in the future, which she gave them the confidence & tools to do. We are thankful for her everyday!

We have been using At-Home Tutoring for academic enrichment for 5 years. The customer service is fantastic and the tutors are dynamic and engaging. Recently, my son worked with an AHTS tutor to prepare for the ACT. Imagine our surprise when he scored in the 99th percentile on his first try! Thank you, AHTS!
