About Me

Hi, I’m Adam Frank!

I am a tutor for university mathematics, computer science, mathematical logic, statistics, 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, because students are only able to leave a review we’ve had a meeting and they’ve submitted payment! Also, I am a native English speaker.

Is your professor 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.

Conversely, if a student is unhappy about learning math, I cannot help students with negativity. It’s just not in my skill set.

Also, I depend on the student to take the initiative, and tell me what they need to learn. If a student requests additional exercises, or advice on studying, I’m happy to give that support. But I only give what a student requests. I do not provide accountability or study coaching.

So the kind of student I am not qualified to help, is any student who resists tutoring, is unhappy about having to learn mathematics, who needs motivation, organization, study coaching, or any of the “soft skills” of learning.

The kind of student who is likely a good fit is someone who shows up with a growth mentality, and a bunch of questions for me to answer and explain!
