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

Anshika M. says, "I had the privilege of being tutored by an exceptional physics and math tutor, and I cannot praise his skills and teaching techniques enough. From the outset, it was evident that he possessed a profound understanding of the subjects, effortlessly navigating complex concepts with clarity and precision. His teaching approach was nothing short of transformative. Rather than resorting to rote memorization, he emphasized understanding the underlying principles. This not only deepened my comprehension but also equipped me with the tools to tackle a myriad of problems independently. His ability to break down intricate theories into digestible components made even the most challenging topics accessible. One aspect that truly set him apart was his patience. No question was deemed too basic, and he encouraged a supportive and inclusive learning environment. His willingness to revisit topics until they were fully grasped demonstrated a commitment to each student's success. This approach fostered a sense of confidence, allowing me to approach problem-solving with newfound assurance. Beyond the curriculum, he seamlessly integrated real-world applications into our sessions, illustrating how physics and math were not abstract concepts confined to textbooks but essential tools applicable to everyday scenarios. This holistic approach not only made the material more engaging but underscored the practical relevance of what we were learning." Read more

Hi! I'm Jessica :) I taught middle school mathematics for 4 years and I am an accredited teacher in the State of Texas. I am no longer in the classroom, but I really enjoy helping students learn one of my favorite subjects. I think it's important to break concepts down to whatever level a person is currently at and use real life examples they can directly apply the concepts to that actually interst them. Tell me your hobbies, and let me tailor a lesson to you :)

I completed my undergrad in Chemistry in 2002, and received an MBA in 2010. As a dad of a middle schooler and a high school freshman, I’ve had a ring-side view of their journey with learning Math. Being an avid math lover, I have used my classical and traditional math background to help them develop strong foundations and become adept problem solvers. In addition to doing well in school, they have participated in and even won various math competitions such as UIL, AMC 8, and AMC 10. Teaching them brings great joy and satisfaction to me. They made me realize that I can share some of my passion and love for the subject with others, and help th

I graduated college with degree in early childhood education. I have been an elementary teacher for 8 years. I teach reading, writing, and math. I enjoy finding different and creative ways to teach different lessons. One of my favorite things about teaching is working with a student and seeing them transform from struggling to having that "lightbulb" moment where they finally understand the material. I have experience working with learning disabilities and am passionate about finding methods of learning that helps all kiddos regardless of how they learn.

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!

His methodological approach in making sure that you understand every little aspect of a concept makes him unique as a tutor. I must say I passed Calculus class because of him within a short span of time given I didn’t know much about the topics. He is my goto tutors from here on.

Joshua is a fabulous person and tutor. He takes the time to get to know his students and connect with their interests and lives. This personal connection builds trust with the student and creates a calm, relaxing environment that is conducive to learning. He is patient and positive. He builds the student’s confidence, but also holds them accountable in achieving their personal best. Joshua recognizes and embraces that each student works at his or her own pace and in a unique way. Joshua works well with all ages. He knows how to connect with teens without being condescending. He speaks to the student in a respectful manner, this is very important to my teen. My daughter has been working with Joshua for over two years on a weekly basis. He has helped her mature and strengthen her writing skills and has helped her feel more compitent and confident in math. We are very grateful to have his help!
