I've talked to so many adults that say they hated math or science. I think that is a shame because I have a feeling that they just had a bad teacher or were in the wrong class. Both math and science were very easy for me and I have the gift of not only understanding both subjects but also being able to explain them to others. I like to explain things in terms of the real world (Look at any bridge and you will see Geometry at work). I make sure that my students really understand what they are being taught by having them explain it back to me. It's painful at times but oh so rewarding when I see the bell go off in their heads when they really g

My goal is to help you to understand math as well as you need to or as well as you want to. Math has always been my passion. I am currently a Mathnasium instructor. My tutoring experience ranges from helping a 4th grader gain confidence in his mathematical ability, to helping high school math team students understand how to solve competition problems. My tutoring philosophy focuses on trying to figure out what the student is thinking when they encounter a difficult problem, help guide their thinking and if an idea they come up with doesn’t work for the current problem, explain how it might work for a similar problem. I like providing helpful

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

We hired Susan to help our daughter Caidyn with Geometry. Susan made her feel comfortable and worked hard to make sure she understood her lessons. Susan was flexible with her time when Caidyn needed extra help to get through her work. Caidyn's grade went up significantly because of the help she got. If we need help again in the future, we will definitely hire Susan.

This is the best tutor for studying and preparing for the ASVAB! I have been working with her for 4 months now, and she has gone above and beyond to help prepare me for the ASVAB! Throughout our tutor sessions, she displays a sense of positiveness and ongoing motivation to help me understand her unique way of learning how to solve each mathematical problem. She is efficient, easy to communicate with and works hard to make sure you completely understand what she is tutoring you on. She is well-experienced, and more than qualified helping you to get to the ASVAB score you want. It takes dedication, an open mind, and focus on achieving the ASVAB score you want with the best of help she has as your tutor!

Perhaps what I most appreciate about Carissa is that she’s not only been a good math tutor, but she gets along amazingly with my 15-year-old-grandson. He can be in a negative space when I pick him up from school, and he clearly perks up when he and Carissa are working together – I hear them laugh together often. There doesn’t seem to be any ‘superiority’ in the relationship although it’s clear that she’s won the respect of my grandson. Other things I also appreciate: she’s been highly reliable; she’s made every effort to accommodate and flex to meet our needs relative to schedules; she’s researched and recommended helpful resources; she’s been responsive when I’ve sent her messages; she’s been good about leeting us know if there a reason she needs to miss a session – and she always tries to make it up; she’s been willing to communicate with my grandson’s math teacher at school; and I should not fail to mention that I think her rates are quite reasonable. Carissa is able to be an effective tutor without standing on formality, and that not the impression I got from other math tutors I initially considered. I truly ENJOY seeing her every week, and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

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!
