Algebra 1,

Algebra 1

Algebra is the foundation for advanced Mathematics. It is a very important subject, especially to those considering a career in engineering or physics. I have many years of experience tutoring math and engineering to high school, college and adult students. If you will allow me to work with you, I am confident I can improve your knowledge of Algebra by sharing my experience, knowledge, and genuine passion for math.

Calculus,

Calculus

I am confident tutoring calculus to any student who shows interest in this subject. During my 34 year career at Detroit Edison, I used my knowledge of calculus to perform thermal-hydraulic calculations in order to demonstrate the safe operation of the Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Plant. This working experience allowed me to bridge the gap between theory and application of mathematics (specifically calculus and differential equations). Therefore, I bring the added benefit of understanding how calculus is actually used to solve real world problems. I've spent many years sharing this experience with a variety of engineers in the nuclear industry. I have also tutored calculus to a number of high school and college students. If you need help understanding calculus, please consider me as a possible tutor. I’m sure you would have a positive learning experience and develop an appreciation for this powerful and beautiful subject.

Amazing Tutor!

Lou is extremely informative and he goes the extra mile when it comes to explaining things and writing it out. He could easily charge more and often goes above the hour. Highly recommended!

Gregor, 19 lessons with Lou

Knowledgeable and patient tutor in Math

Lou has been a blessing for my son who just needed that little push that Lou provides for him taking a Calculus Class. Lou is so patient and knows how to engage his students in their work. My son was struggling in the beginning of his class and now he is getting A's. We are so thankful for his time and expertise in math and helping my son get through it! Thank you Lou!!!!
