Introduction

SoFlo Test Prep is a team of top-scoring tutors who provide exceptional SAT and ACT tutoring tailored to each student's strengths and weaknesses. We have even created our own digital platform for the SAT with over 40 practice exams. Our students who complete our program see their SAT scores rise by 200+ points and their ACT scores increase by 5+ points. Who are we? At SoFlo, our tutors scored in the top 1% on the SAT/ACT, come from top schools like Princeton and Georgetown, and are SAT/ACT experts. We have 5.0 ratings on Google, Yelp, and Thumbtack. Even before COVID, all of our tutoring was 1-on-1 over Zoom, so our entire program is built around online tutoring. How are we so effective? Our tutors use SoFlo's proven three-step method: assessment, strategy, and practice. Students start with our free diagnostic test, so we can gather data and build a study plan to target areas of weakness. Students will then meet 1-on-1 with a tutor to introduce SAT/ACT strategies, teach the fundamentals of the test, and review homework problems. We are constantly learning, training, and preparing our tutors for excellence. Our tutors are dedicated to their students and perfecting their skills. What materials do we provide? Diagnostic Test: Assess your child's strengths and weaknesses, determine specific topic areas to review. Homework: 1-2 hours of homework per week, assignments are real SAT/ACT tests from the last several years. In class, we turn mistakes from homework into learning opportunities. Online Modules: Access to real SAT/ACT tests with answers and explanation videos, tips and tricks specific to each section of the test, supplemental worksheets for students who want extra practice. When are we available? We are very flexible when it comes to scheduling. We will meet on days and times that fit your schedule. Because tutoring is 1-on-1 over Zoom, you can pick your time. What is your pricing? We offer our Test Prep services on a pay-as-you-go basis. Our Core price is $75/hour, and our Premium price is $100/hour. This price includes all diagnostic tests, homework, and online learning modules. Learn more at soflotutors

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I am Adam Shlomi the founder of SoFlo SAT Tutoring. I went to Georgetown University, scored a 1570 on the SAT, and have been tutoring for the last 5 years. All of our tutors scored at least a 1500 on the SAT and our most recent hire graduated Cum Laude from Princeton.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I previously worked at College Experts and College Vine, two leading test prep companies. I love teaching and helping students achieve their dreams.

What types of customers have you worked with?

From new immigrants to students headed for ivy-league universities we SoFlo has a wide array of clients.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

One of SoFlo's top students recently broke a 1550 on the SAT after months of prep. She was very bright but struggled with test taking and improved more than 200 points through hard work & tutoring. On the other end of the spectrum, We worked pro-bono with another student to raise his ACT score to a 19 so he could graduate from high school. He texted me recently saying that he got the 19 and will be able to graduate in the spring.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Choose the tutor who you feel most comfortable with. Student tutor chemistry is important to a successful outcome. Students who like their tutor are more likely to pay attention in class, more willing to complete their homework outside, and thus have higher average score increases.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

What is the student's test prep timeline? What dates are they targeting? How much time can the student commit to tutoring? What score improvement does the student need?
