About Frank


Bio

If you are having trouble in a high school or college level math class, or are preparing to take the SATs, then look no further. I am a 2001 graduate of Penn State's Math Education department with a minor in Spanish. I have availability during the day, night, or weekends. My specialty is pre-algebra through calculus. I am able to meet either in person or through the Wyzant online platform.

I got back into tutoring 15 years ago purely by accident. I went to pick up my order of Chinese food...

If you are having trouble in a high school or college level math class, or are preparing to take the SATs, then look no further. I am a 2001 graduate of Penn State's Math Education department with a minor in Spanish. I have availability during the day, night, or weekends. My specialty is pre-algebra through calculus. I am able to meet either in person or through the Wyzant online platform.

I got back into tutoring 15 years ago purely by accident. I went to pick up my order of Chinese food and saw a sign in the window requesting a math tutor for the owners' son. Over the next two years I'd meet with him repeatedly. It made me realize how fun and rewarding tutoring can be. It's like I'm getting paid to solve crossword puzzles.

Which reminds me, I am also an expert in Sudoku. I sometimes use them to help students gain confidence in problem solving and logical thinking. So if you need assistance in learning Sudoku, I can help with that.

I have experience with every type of student imaginable, ranging in age from 12 to 60. I even tutored my older sister and my father at different points.

One of the things I emphasize is learning how to do basic math without the use of calculators. Calculators are great for some problems, like say 23.98342 x .00498, or for statistics. Most students today rely on calculators to do the most basic of tasks, which sadly has robbed them of being able to complete problems that they learned in elementary school. By forcing students to do most computations, their grades and their confidence will improve.

LATE FEES AND CANCELLATIONS... I have found that many students who request online tutoring will set up a time, then fail to log in for the scheduled lesson. My time is valuable, so if this does happen I will have to dock you $20. I don't like doing this, but I have to.

Algebra 2

Frank has helped prevent my son from failing algebra 2. He is amazing! He started out barely making a D in algebra. My son’s now averaging a B+ thanks to Frank’s help. I highly recommend him.

Antonella, 7 lessons with Frank

showing excitement!

My daughter came home from her tutoring session last night with excitement for the first time since starting honors calculus. She pulled out her notes, showed me what she was working on, and told me she completely understood what to do. What a change from her previous responses when asked about calculus, which I don’t want to put in here.

Steve, 3 lessons with Frank

Funny and Patient

My son recently had a session with Frank, and he really enjoyed it because Frank made it fun and simple. My son feels really confident about his test tomorrow! I definitely recommend Frank!

Vanessa, 12 lessons with Frank

Kind and considerate!

While in the session he made sure I knew the layout of the meeting interface since I'm new. He asked and checked in with me to make sure I was able to keep up and understand the content throughout the whole session.

Nia, 1 lesson with Frank

Best tutor ever!

Love how he gets to the point with my kid- willing to back up if she’s confused- sets her up for success where the teachers aren’t! He’s great!

Mauri, 26 lessons with Frank

Fantastic fit to help my son in pre- and Algebra

Frank was flexible and really helpful, he's a good communicator whether it's with math or with scheduling. Huge relief as my son had missed the last month of school with covid! We'll keep the contact info for upcoming school years, thanks!

Kate, 16 lessons with Frank

Frank is patient and able to connect wit the student

Frank has a knack for explaining things in a clear and easy to follow manner. Will be booking Frank again.

Evan, 2 lessons with Frank

great help /review before quiz

The tutoring lesson I had was more for a review before a quiz, but for the questions I had he answered them very well and it’s nice knowing if I have trouble in math I can just have another lesson

Andrew, 10 lessons with Frank

Helpful and Straightforward Tutor.

Calculus one is made easier with Frank's simple yet effective solutions. His goal is to get you up to date and prepared for the next time your class meets, a quiz, test, etc.
