Tutoring Style
Professionalism
Because my students are often older — most of them in university or professional careers — my style of tutoring may not be like what you are used to for younger students.
I work with my students as coworkers, and therefore I have certain expectations of them. I assume that all of my students are motivated, focused, curious, and prepared for work. What I offer to my students is a clear explanation of hard mathematics and computer science topics, and the opportunity to ask questions of an expert. But I don’t offer mentoring, study coaching, or making math fun. I hope that we do have fun! But like with coworkers, it’s really all about getting the work done.
And of course, I strive to show up with the same level of motivation, professionalism, and preparation to match my students.
About Me
Adam Frank, B.A., M.Phil.
In 2006, I completed undergraduate studies at Brandeis University, and in 2011 my Master's degree from Columbia University in New York. I've tutored for about 10 years, the last five have been as a full time professional.
From 2018 until 2020, I devoted a day each week when I volunteered to teach Math and Computer Science at correctional facilities. This volunteer work is made possible by the Bard Prison Initiative, through which inmates have the opportunity to earn a degree from Bard University and prepare for a career once they have served out their sentence.
