I started tutoring when I was a TF in Orgo at Harvard and taught Orgo in the master's program at Johns Hopkins while working for 6 years at the NIH with Nobel Laureate Marshall Nirenberg as my doctoral advisor in Cell and Molecular Biology.

I taught all subjects in MCAT, DAT, and PCAT for 6 years in Washington, DC, for a national test prep company (and was their highest-paid instructor based on student ratings). I have extensive teaching experience and have had hundreds of private students in Orgo, Biology, Physics, Biochemistry, and related subjects over the years. I live in Boston and have had many students from Harvard, Boston University, Tufts, BC, and other highly competitive programs over the years who went on to successful careers.

🎯My services
If you need to improve your grade and/or test score, our sessions will be of great value to you.
I can make a tough subject much easier and clearer with good instruction, which is often lacking in the classroom due to size and individual differences in learning styles. I can teach you what you need to know to do well on your tests and hit the important points that will make it all come together.

Sessions include:
✔️ Discussion of your questions
✔️ Explanation of the material clearly and efficiently
✔️ Teaching you how to effectively approach and solve problems
✔️ Identifying and getting you prepared for high-yield questions for the exam

I have had great success in helping my students advance their academic objectives. I genuinely enjoy teaching and am very patient and perceptive to my students' learning needs. I can often predict concepts/questions that your professor will test you on. I will help you structure your learning objectives so you can excel in achieving your learning targets.

My goal is to make sure you master the material and achieve great academic results essential to your success. I look forward to helping you succeed!

Great tutor!

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Frank. Our high schooler is taking organic chemistry, and the material is challenging. Frank is extremely knowledgeable and has helped her grasp complex concepts, complete lab write-ups, and prepare for tests with real confidence. In just a few short weeks, she’s gone from feeling shaky to earning a solid A in the course. His ability to explain difficult material clearly and patiently has made a noticeable difference.

100% recommend Frank

I’d 100% recommend Frank if you want someone who’s knowledgeable but also just really easy to work with. Working with him was honestly a game-changer for me. He really knows his stuff, but more importantly, he explains things in a way that actually makes sense. Stuff I was completely lost on before started clicking way faster than I expected. What I liked most is that he doesn’t just follow some generic plan — he actually picks up on where you’re struggling and adjusts the sessions to focus on that. It made everything feel way more efficient and not like a waste of time. He’s also super flexible with scheduling and always checks in/follows up, which made it easier to stay consistent. Over time, my confidence went way up, I did better in the class, and I actually understood what I was doing instead of just trying to memorize things.

Knowledgeable, caring, effective tutor

I honestly can’t say enough good things about working with Frank. What really stands out is how deep his knowledge of the subject is — you can tell right away that he has real expertise and experience. No matter what question I brought to him, he had a clear, thoughtful explanation and connected it to related concepts. What I appreciated most was how tailored his approach was. He quickly figured out my strengths and where I was struggling, and he adjusted our sessions accordingly. Instead of just going through material generically, he focused on exactly what I needed to improve, which made our time incredibly efficient. He’s also very flexible with scheduling and always follows up, which made it much easier to stay on track. After working with him, my confidence skyrocketed, I started performing much better in class, and more importantly, I understood the material at a much deeper level. If you’re looking for a very knowledgeable, caring, and effective tutor, I’d definitely recommend giving Frank a try. Working with Frank made a huge real difference for me.

Great experience working with Frank

I had a great experience working with Frank. He explains concepts clearly and breaks down difficult material in a way that actually makes sense, which helped me feel more confident pretty quickly. He’s patient, easy to work with, and adjusts the session based on what you need help with rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. Frank doesn’t just give answers — he makes sure you understand the whole picture, which was especially helpful when preparing for exams. He’s always prepared, focused, and genuinely invested in your progress. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive tutor.

Amazing tutor!!!

Amazing tutor!!! Frank really understood what I needed in order to grasp the concepts and was able to tailor our lessons to the content of my class and what our instructor expected us to know. Frank made the topics I was struggling with easy to learn. He made sure I fully understood each concept before moving on to the next step, so I could build on my knowledge and know how to approach and solve each problem. Frank is patient, knowledgeable, professional, and flexible with scheduling. If you are looking for a tutor, I highly recommend working with him!

Excellent, competent and patient tutor!

Frank is the best tutor I’ve ever had! He is extremely knowledgeable and always knows how to bring my understanding of difficult concepts exactly where it needs to be to succeed. With his help, I went from being totally lost in organic chemistry to earning a solid A! Frank was spot-on with the types of questions my instructor would put on exams, which gave me a huge confidence boost. I also really appreciate his flexibility with scheduling and his compassionate approach to my personal learning needs. Frank is the best tutor a pre-med student could have, and I can’t recommend him enough! I’m excited to continue working with him this semester.
