About Frank


Bio

My name is Frank, and I have been working at learning centers doing math for over 8 years. I have worked at both Mathnasium and Huntington Learning Center. I can do elementary math, middle school math, Pre-Algebra and Algebra I. The material taught in those courses is 2nd nature to me, and I feel I can be of great value to those that are in need of help in those subjects/grade levels. Math was always my best and favorite subject!

My name is Frank, and I have been working at learning centers doing math for over 8 years. I have worked at both Mathnasium and Huntington Learning Center. I can do elementary math, middle school math, Pre-Algebra and Algebra I. The material taught in those courses is 2nd nature to me, and I feel I can be of great value to those that are in need of help in those subjects/grade levels. Math was always my best and favorite subject!

I have a lot of experience in Math Education at the lower levels. Math truly builds on itself. Everything that the kids learn all the way back in 1st grade addition can affect what they are doing for years to come. The times tables will be too difficult if they don’t have strong addition. Division will be too hard if they don’t have a strong times table and subtraction. Fractions/decimals/percents will be too hard if you don’t have strong operations. And it just keeps going and going and going. I’m really good at diagnosing/assessing and getting to the root cause of the problems that the kids are having. You really have to fill the earliest learning gap that the child has, and build off of that.

Over the years, I’ve learned that the kids really need to think the problems through themselves, and I need to limit how much instruction I give (at times). I always start with explanations, but I will try to get the kids to work independently pretty quickly once I can see that they are grasping the material/concepts. Once the kids start gaining confidence in themselves, the sky is the limit!

If you think we are a great fit, please send me a message and we can go from there! Bear with me a bit on scheduling. It can be a bit of a pain depending on what everyone needs. I mostly try to have clients stick to a set schedule, and that keeps things pretty simple, but I realize that’s not always possible. I will do my best to accommodate everyone’s needs. Thank you and I hope to hear from you!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

Algebra is my favorite subject to teach, and it just comes naturally to me. I have taught various students over the years in Algebra 1, and I have a Holt McDougal Book Common Core Edition to assist with any additional explanation or practice problems! Slope, intercepts,functions, factoring...you name it, I can help explain the concept!
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have over 5 years of experience tutoring Elementary Math students. Mathnasium really helped formulate my approach with students at this age level, and I really got to see how all of math builds on itself. You need strong addition to do multiplication, you need multiplication to do division, you need multiplication and division to do fractions and decimals, etc. It all really starts in addition, and I know the fastest and most efficient ways to get kids caught up pretty quickly to their grade level. The older the kids get, the more they tend to fight the process and lose confidence in themselves, but they can definitely do the math!! Just follow my lead if your child falls behind :-)
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have over 5 years of experience privately and at learning centers tutoring Pre-Algebra. It is second nature for me! I can held students understand how to combine like terms. I can help students understand how to distribute. I can help students understand negative numbers. I can help students evaluate expressions. You name the topic in Pre-Algebra, and I can help!!

Bright and Kind

Frank is excellent! He is patient and thoughtful and really gets to know the student regarding where they are academically. I cannot forget to mention after one week with Frank, my daughter received glowing compliments on her interest and concentration from her school teacher in math class. I am beyond delighted we have the opportunity to work with Frank each week. He is bright and kind.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Frank is helping my 6th grader with math. Frank is very knowledgeable and is reinforcing the concepts that my child is being taught at school. I highly recommend Frank as a math tutor.

patient and detail

I appreciated it that Frank was very patient with my son and he listens to my requests very well and pay attention. I hope my son will learn to pay attention to detail from Frank.

Frank is the G.O.A.T {Greatest of All Tutors}

Frank was awesome, patient, and very knowledgeable. He started the session, by asking how much I knew about the subject matter. He took his time explaining everything to me and follow my lead and comfort zone. I was clueless about algebra before my session with Frank, but afterwards, I understand it and can solve an algebra problem without hesitation. I'll recommend Frank to anyone who struggles with algebra, kids or adults. I'll give him a 1000 starts if I could.

My daughter went from a below average math student to top 10% in her class over the summer thanks to hard work and excellent tutoring from Frank! Highly recommmend.

Knowledgeable, innovative and patient

First session mostly an assessment of my child's strength and weaknesses. We will continue with Frank next week as the school year has just started. However, I expect significant improvement during the course of the first semester.

Smart and practical!

Frank was easy going, explained things well and did a great job working with my 9 year old. I would recommend him to any young student wanting to improve or gain new math skills.

He's patient, knowledgeable, and keeps his tutoring sessions always interesting. He started working with our son for a couple years now. He enjoys tutoring our son and also explains thoroughly. It helps our son to understand how to approach each problem. I highly recommend Mr. Frank or Frankie as my son calls him! :-)
