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?

• 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 to explain math and science. I depend on my students to show up prepared with the specific questions that they want answered.
  

• I can’t predict what will be on your exam.
  
  Every teacher decides what will be on their exams, and I can’t possibly know what that will be. So I depend on you to tell me what you need to study—please do not expect me to tell you what will be on your exam. It is very likely that you know better than I do!
  
  (The one exception is GaTech Distance Math classes. I actually do know, to a very close approximation, what will be on those exams because they are so uniform from year to year.)

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