Our very shy 8 year old son loves Ms. I, and so do we! He has requested to take her classes every semester of this past year. This is high praise from a boy who always hated school and never wanted to attend any classes...until we started homeschooling this year and found a few amazing teachers like Ms. I. So far, he has taken her Public Speaking, Kidz Entrepreneur, and Kidz Entrepreneur 2 class. The have all inspired him and built his confidence. Before taking her Public Speaking class, no one could hear our son when he spoke in class. His voice was barely audible and he struggled to make eye contact. Half way through the class, he transformed into a new kid. I couldn't believe it. Standing straight, projecting his voice, making eye contact, and even choosing to memorize his speeches and poems. Amazing! Teacher I's Kidz Entrepreneur classes were equally impressive, piquing our son's interest in entrepreneurship, giving back to the community, and finding environmentally responsible ways to do it. He now loves watching Shark Tank (with elevator pitches like the ones students give in the classes) and The Profit With his dad. He takes a keen interest in any news story about kids who start successful, impactful businesses. And during this past semester, he decided to create his own website for his class business idea. Very impressive! He never would've done any of this without Ms. I and her great classes. She is always upbeat, kind, creative, and inspiring. She provides the perfect mix of fun, structure, and meaningful homework (in contrast to the busy work many of my friends are complaining their kids are overwhelmed by in their public school distance learning).

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
