I have been teaching high school (grades 10-12) mathematics courses for the past 10 years under a professional certification in Massachusetts. I understand the struggles that many students have toward mathematics; the key to overcoming those struggles is breaking down the material into more manageable parts. I work diligently to provide students with a fundamental understanding of the math concepts, and I continually reach out to other teachers and take more courses to improve upon my teaching practice. There's no better feeling than seeing a student finally get a challenging topic.

I have two degrees: a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, and a Master's of Arts in Teaching Mathematics. My background in science allows me to connect mathematics courses to real-world examples. I have three children, and I volunteer to coach their soccer and baseball teams because I enjoy teaching and learning in all aspects of life.

I have been teaching a range of high school mathematics courses such as Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Precalculus, Trigonometry, and Calculus. I also have experience tutoring students who are preparing for the SAT, MCAS, and AP exams.

Please contact me with questions that you have or to schedule a session, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I look forward to hearing from you!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

Being a high school mathematics teacher for about a decade, I have experience teaching a variety of courses including Algebra 1. I am able to review topics covered in the prerequisite course of Pre-algebra, and I have taught courses that come directly after Algebra 1 including Geometry and Algebra 2. I enjoy breaking down complex tasks into more manageable pieces that helps students make sense of the mathematics involved.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Being a high school teacher for about a decade, I have experience teaching a variety of courses including Algebra 2. I have taught the prerequisite of Algebra 1, and I have taught Precalculus, the course that typically follows Algebra 2. I enjoy breaking down a complex task into more manageable pieces that helps students make sense of the mathematics involved.
Calculus

Calculus

Being a high school teacher for about a decade, I have experience teaching a variety of courses including AP-Calculus BC and AP-Calculus AB. I have also taught the prerequisite courses from Algebra 1 through Precalculus so I know how to support students who may have gaps in those previous skills. I enjoy breaking down a complex task into more manageable pieces that helps students make sense of the mathematics involved.
Geometry

Geometry

Being a high school mathematics teacher for about a decade, I have experience teaching a variety of courses including Geometry. I am able to review topics covered in Algebra in order to apply those to Geometry concepts. I enjoy breaking down complex tasks into more manageable pieces that helps students make sense of the mathematics involved.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I have been teaching trigonometry for 10 years. While I was a student it was my favorite math class that I have ever had. I enjoy it so much and get so excited with how perfectly the different trigonometry concepts fit together. I love studying the unit circle and verifying identities and enjoy teaching about it as much as I loved it as a student.
Prealgebra

Amazing Tutor! Well prepared, Knowledgeable and Engaging

Adam is articulate and to the point, capable of dissecting middle school math concepts down to an easy-to-understand format for my elementary grade student! My 10-year-old was initially very hesitant to work with a new tutor. However, 2 minutes into the lesson and my son gave me the thumbs up and said "Hey, I like him!" Where Adam shines is his ability to connect, engage and motivate students. Thank you Adam for being so patient, giving him that extra boost of confidence, and teaching at the perfect speed!

Helped my nephew with algebra

Adam was great in helping my nephew to grasp algebraic concepts. He is helping him build his confidence in an area which has been a struggle in the past. Would definitely recommend.

Great for my teenage son!

Adam worked extremely well with my teenage son. My child struggles in math and has had years of tutoring. He "dreads" tutoring. But, not with Adam!!! Some tutors are good at math, but not so great at "reaching" a child or meeting his (or her) needs. My son has always been quite efficient at talking tutors into sort of providing half of the answer and reducing his need to work his brain. Adam was good at having him work through the problems without giving him too much information (and yet providing easily understandable teachable moments). Yes, Adam helped him when needed, but he challenged and stretched him too! And, my son said Adam was really funny, which helped my son stay engaged. So, as a mother, I am very pleased. We would certainly continue working with Adam, but our educational situation has changed and our son will be attending a different school now. Thanks Adam for helping our kiddo!

Fantastic!

Adam has been great with my 9th grade son. I wholeheartedly recommend him! He has gone out of his way to work with us, and somehow manages to keep my son’s attention, which is no easy task.

A big help

Adam worked with my son on Algebra 2 several times over winter break. He was patient and clear with his explanations. The sessions helped my son understand the material, catch up on missing work, and bring his course grades higher. At one point, when the tutoring session got disconnected, Adam stuck around until the tutoring could continue, staying longer than the allotted time to make sure he got a full hour in.

Great teacher very patient

Adam F. did a great job in explaining my lesson and problems that were very difficult for me. He also gave me extra time to explain the problems were that were taking a little long.

Saan, 1 lesson with Adam

very very patient and helpful

Mr. Adam is a really good tutor i was kinda skeptical about trying this online tutor thing ,but i really do feel as though it helped me a lot he covered everything i asked him to, and he always ask if i understand before he moved on with a question so i would not be left behind a lot of people know how to do math but there are not many who know how to teach math he is one who KNOWS how to teach !!! i would recommend to any and everyone!!

Very Knowledgeable and Patient

Adam went over lines, angles, and figures. They reviewed her quizzes that were previously low graded. She was amazed with his tutoring!! She thought he "explained things very well and he was great at communicating. And he took his time" with her. She was so happy with this experience and would like another session. She told me to make sure I shared this so that he could help others!! I am so excited that my daughter is happy with the help from Adam!! Thank you Adam!!! See you soon!!
