About — James Eno Tutorials

James Eno Tutorials was founded in 2007 with the goal of providing the highest-quality private tutoring services throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

As a small, locally owned business, our mission is to provide personalized services to students of all ability levels. James Eno meets with each prospective student and family to review the program and determine appropriate scheduling. He maintains contact with the tutors throughout the course of study to monitor each student’s progress.

We believe that building rapport with teenagers is key to academic improvement. Parents and students attest to the success of our approach. See Testimonials and Test-Score Increases.

We are committed to guiding our students through the intricacies of these important tests and helping each student achieve his or her goals.
