Daniel S. says, "Natalie is fantastic! She always was so helpful in helping me understand the math. I didn’t have too good of a base knowledge of algebra and so when I was taking calculus is made it twice as hard. She broke down the complex math and worked through at the level I was at. She cares and understands her students and works exceptionally hard to make sure they succeed. If you need a tutor she’s the one you need!" Read more

How do I know if my child needs a math tutor?

Your child may need a math tutor if:

  • Their grades or test scores are declining
  • They get confused or frustrated with homework
  • They are having difficulty or lacking confidence with numbers
  • 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?

Tutors suggest a minimum of one tutoring session per week until students build confidence, understand the subject, and improve grades. 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?

Math tutors are responsible for helping students with homework, teaching various mathematical concepts, motivating and boosting confidence, and teaching skills like note-taking, studying, and test-taking. Math tutors also show how to perform calculations, processes, and computations to complete their assignments.

What qualities make a good math tutor?

Look for the following qualities in a math tutor:

  • Expertise and knowledge on the subject
  • A good communicator and motivator
  • A passionate and enthusiastic teacher
  • Ability to quickly identify the student's needs

Do math tutors help?

Is math tutoring worth it?

Tutoring is worth the money because:

SoFlo is a breath of fresh air. They are excellent tutors with a knack for reading personalities and learning styles. The company has a desire is to decrease the stress level and make learning fun. I have been out of school for 30 years but had to go back for my job. I forgot all about Math and was very worried. SoFlo promised to make my lessons pain-free, and they did! When you have a secret weapon like SoFlo in your corner, you must do well in your classes! Thank you SoFlo.

Our experience w/ Natalie was a great one. She was flexible, & kind, my daughter felt totally comfortable working w/ her. She made the information clear & was able to hold her attention, & interest both through Zoom & in person. Which is often difficult. We would definitely recommend her.
