About Me
Hi, I’m Adam Frank! I graduated from Columbia University, and for about ten years now, I’ve tutored advanced undergraduate and high school mathematics, computer science, statistics, and logic.
I love the ability of mathematics to explain the world, and solve problems — and I enjoy sharing my understanding with students.
Logistics
I can meet online and in-person in the area around Suwanee, Alpharetta, and Cumming Georgia.
For online math meetings, I use Vibe boards (Try it here!). This allows us to import documents and write on them simultaneously.
For online meetings about programming, I use Google Meet for screen sharing while editing code. We can also use Replit to simultaneously edit code.
When our mathematics work requires a nice write-up, we can simultaneously edit a document on Overleaf. (Try it here!)
Besides in-person and online tutoring, I also offer a “feedback service”. You can send me your work and I can review it, alerting you to mistakes and giving brief explanations. You can also submit questions and receive typed explanations.
Why Choose Me?
Expertise
I have a deep and broad background in some very challenging subjects. Taking a hard course? Professor moving too fast? Or is the professor unable to explain course material clearly? I can help!
Communication
Many experts have a deep knowledge of their subject, but lack an ability to communicate it. With years of experience, I’ve developed a skill at explaining technical and complex ideas with clear and simple language. Also, I am a native English speaker.
Professionalism
Tutoring is my job. Therefore I show up to appointments on-time and prepared. I am available most days and times, unless already scheduled with another student. I treat all of my students as coworkers — therefore I both show and expect the respect and maturity that comes with a work environment.
Why NOT Choose me?
Honesty is the best policy! My service isn’t the right fit for every student.
My service is effectively a “mathematician for hire”. I usually work with students who are taking challenging and accelerated university courses. These students need an expert who can answer their questions, and that’s precisely what I love to do.
Many students, however, don’t really need an expert so much as they need a coach or a mentor. For example, many students need motivation, organization, and study skills. For students needing this kind of assistance, my services are probably not the right match.
