Hi!
I am a Science Tutor and YouTube Educator. Have you ever sat in lecture and felt like you learned almost nothing? Did you know that by sitting in lectures you retain about 5% of the 1 hour lecture?! In my tutoring sessions I teach you, and then you become the teacher!

I've tutored students in-person and online at 50+ Universities in the U.S, Canada, England, Saudia Arabia, and Australia. Some of the schools include: BU, BC, NYU, Northeastern, Brandeis, UCSD, UCLA, Johns Hopkins, and...

Hi!
I am a Science Tutor and YouTube Educator. Have you ever sat in lecture and felt like you learned almost nothing? Did you know that by sitting in lectures you retain about 5% of the 1 hour lecture?! In my tutoring sessions I teach you, and then you become the teacher!

I've tutored students in-person and online at 50+ Universities in the U.S, Canada, England, Saudia Arabia, and Australia. Some of the schools include: BU, BC, NYU, Northeastern, Brandeis, UCSD, UCLA, Johns Hopkins, and Rutgers. I absolutely love tutoring and my goal is to help bridge the knowledge gap between college professors and students. In my sessions I show my students how fun, simple, and fascinating Organic Chem can be and I hope to help students reach their full potential.

The knowledge gap that I referred to is what I believe is the cause of so many students struggling. I believe that Organic Chem and other science courses could be taught simpler. The problem is that Professors don't speak "English" when they lecture, they speak "Organic Chemistry." I try to teach "In English" by paying attention to my word choice and always defining terms for my students.

Having gone through the standard pre-med track at BU, I experienced first hand how grueling it is. At first I really struggled with courses like Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Physics. But when I began tutoring the subjects, I began seeing the big picture, and it was as if the missing piece of a puzzle clicked into place for me and it all made sense! Ever since it's been my passion to pass on all I know and help students learn in a fraction of the time it took me.

My style is very active and engaging as described by my students. I make sure it's not just another lecture for them, but rather a stimulating session that involves plenty of dialogue and critical thinking. I keep them on their toes by having them teach the material back to me or each other and I often have them create problems for each other to test their understanding and to make things more fun!

Organic Chemistry

I love making Orgo easy for my students! I've worked with students all over the U.S, Canada, U.K, and Australia for Organic Chemistry. I took both Organic Chemistry 1 and 2 at Boston University. I have 10+ years of tutoring experience working with students from schools such as: BU, BC, Northeastern, Harvard, NYU, Brandeis, UCSD, UCLA, Johns Hopkins, and Rutgers. My tutoring experience started during my Sophomore year at Boston University where I tutored Biology, Genetics, Human Physiology, Chinese, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Physics. I also have made 90+ Organic Chemistry videos on YouTube for students worldwide, that are highly watched (~5+ Million Views). My tutoring sessions are described as very engaging and active. I always make sure my sessions aren't just a lecture, but rather a stimulating session that involves plenty of dialogue and critical thinking.

Awesome tutor!

Frank is an amazing tutor! He is really patient with me, and always helps me talk through problems. He has helped me develop logical thinking in organic chemistry, and he even makes it fun (which who knew that was possible!). I Skype with him, which works perfectly since I am a college student without any easy transportation. I highly recommend Frank to anyone who needs help with organic chemistry. He sends me links to pictures, videos, and uses Twiddla (which is basically an online whiteboard) which all help me understand the material thoroughly. Overall, Frank makes things easy to understand, and changes my perspective on organic chem. He makes it manageable and breaks it down in a way that is easy. Frank is a great guy and you can tell he wants you to do well. He is super encouraging and a great tutor and I highly recommend him!

Interactive, thorough

Frank is an incredible tutor for organic chem, he makes the session extremely interactive, having you draw out the mech and teach the material back to him to retain it better. He knows orgo classes inside and out and clearly has a thorough understanding of organic chem and how professors test on material.

Knowledgeable, Patient, and Kind Tutor

Frank was extremely flexible with both availability and group tutoring for my friend and I. Frank's tutoring was excellent, extremely helpful, and taught us new material that we immediately grasped. We would highly, highly recommend him as a tutor for Organic Chemistry as he simplified concepts and taught very clearly!

Resonance Structure

Overall, this was a lovely session! He did a great job of breaking down resonance structures and the explanations behind how they work. He was very responsive and open to questions and uses positive encouragement to make you feel more confident in yourself, which I really appreciate.

Very knowledgeable and awesome tutor

As a biology major at Northeastern University take Jude Matthew's Orgo 1 class, I found Frank to be extremely helpful. Before I started working with him, I was sitting at B-, and he helped me improve significantly. He has a great understanding of all the material, and is really good at explaining the concepts. He always provides little tricks to help internalize these concepts, and he moves at a really good pace. Whether it be doing practice problems or writing out mechanisms, Frank does an awesome job - and he's helped me out a lot.

The Best Organic Chemistry Tutor! Orgo can be Fun!

Frank has helped me excel in organic chemistry at Boston University in an accelerated summer course. I was looking for a tutor to help me stay ahead of the material. Frank breaks down daunting, complex topics and explains them with ease in a communicable and patient way. It truly shows the depth of his understanding of organic chemistry and his skill in tutoring. Through Zoom lessons, Frank helps me through difficult practice problems, creates visual diagrams, and provides additional practice to ensure I understand the concepts. His primary focus is ensuring that his students actually understand the material and is willing to take the time in order to achieve that. I would recommend Frank to anyone looking to get an A in their organic chemistry course – Frank is truly an amazing tutor!

Patient and super helpful!

Frank has been a great tutor so far. He's incredibly patient and really makes sure you understand what you're learning. His sessions are very interactive; rather than just lecturing at you, he prompts you to figure out how to do problems and guides you through them! Super helpful!

patient and knowledgable tutor

I am a Bio major at Framingham State University. I have had trouble with Organic Chemistry the most. In Organic Chemistry I had most trouble with reactions and how to approach problems that have to do with reactions. Frank was able to explain to me step by step how to approach reactions and explained mechanisms well. He was well prepared for tutoring sessions and we were able to get through a lot of information. I would recommend Frank as a tutor.
