Certified Tutor: Math, Sciences, Test Prep, GRE, and More

I am a certified tutor for small children, teenagers and adults in a variety of subjects. I started tutoring while I was a student University of Michigan (Ann-Arbor). I tutor: all K-8 math, algebra I and II (Honors), geometry (Honors), trigonometry (Honors), pre-calculus, calculus (AP), chemistry (AP), physics, civics/social studies, and a variety of language arts.

I emphasize vocabulary (if you can't talk about it, you can't do it!); problem solving techniques (orderly, stepwise problem solving... showing work); study skills; time management; and planning; and of course having fun while learning!

As an engineer with DuPont, and Westinghouse, and an MBA/entrepreneur (starting/helping to start businesses) I know what it takes to have success. Are you ready?

Fantastic Tutor — I went through four tutors prior to stumbling upon Enos. They were all amiable, professional and very knowledgeable in their respective fields. However, they lacked the skills to teach in a cogent manner. Enos, like the others, was amiable, professional and knowledgeable, but what made him stand out from the rest of the pack was his uncanny ability to help me conceptualize otherwise difficult lessons ...
