About Me
Hi, I’m Adam Frank!
I am a tutor for advanced university mathematics, computer science, mathematical logic, and statistics. I also help with introductory physics, and chemistry.
Why Choose Me?
Expertise
I have both a deep as well as broad background in mathematics and related fields. I graduated from Columbia University, specializing in mathematics and formal logic, with coursework in computer science. I have been a tutor for over 10 years, teaching students at Columbia, Harvard, Georgia Tech, and more.
Taking a hard course? Professor moving too fast?
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 skills at explaining technical ideas with clear and simple language.
I maintain a five-star rating on my WyzAnt profile—which you know that you can trust! People are only able to leave a review on WyzAnt after we’ve actually had a meeting.
Also, I am a native English speaker.
Is your professor confusing, disorganized, or difficult to understand?
I can help!
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. I both show and expect the maturity that comes with a work environment.
Do other tutors or study mates flake out too often? Need more dependability, or a wider range of available times?
I can help!
Why NOT Choose me?
Honesty is the best policy! My service isn’t right for every student.
My service is effectively a “mathematician for hire”. I deeply enjoy teaching students who want to learn math and science.
But this also means that there are several services that I don’t offer which you might associate with a tutor’s responsibilities.
I don’t offer organization, study skills, or motivation. The only service I offer is: explain math and science. I depend on my students to know what they need to learn, and come to meetings with questions that they want me to answer.
