I have been involved in industrial chemical research (including pharmaceutical and biotech)for over 20 years. I have instructed technicians and chemists alike and have made presentations at major industrial meetings. I have a publication in a leading analytical journal and am co-inventor on a patent in synthetic chemistry. I struggled with organic chemistry early on, until I realized the key is "don't memorize". Of course, some basic rules should be so well-entrenched that they become almos...

I am currently an Algebra 1 and Chemistry tutor and am very proficient in pharmacy calculations. I helped a student with a fifth grade understanding of math pass her Pharmacy Tech exam. I am also prepping another student with a third grade math background take her GED. I am well suited to help pharmacy interns take and pas their exams.

Mr. Frank has a great deal of knowledge in chemistry. He helps you start off this course with the basic dimensional analysis and then helps you build steps to further your understanding of the course.
Jessica M. from Bensalem, PA
Nice guy but I didn't care for the way he tutored. Frank didn't have enough patience with me and that made me feel uncomfortable. Also I'm finding a lot of these tutors mention that you should drive closer to them or meeting them closer to their location which is very annoying. He mentioned if I could go close to where he lives and when I said that won't work I saw on his face he was annoyed with me. I feel the site should tell their tutors not to mention this especially when people ask for in-home tutoring. Overall I wouldn't use him again, but his prices are reasonable.

Mr. Frank has been a huge help with my daughter's 9th grade algebra. I would strongly recommend him. We plan to continue the lessons, we are very satisfied.
Jane S. from Haverford, PA
Frank is absolutely fantastic. He breaks down complicated organic chemistry concepts into very simple terms, and has an arsenal of worksheets and handouts to let you borrow if you ever need some more review. I always leave our weekly sessions with a good grasp on confusing material to the point where I go from being able to do about half of our homework assignments to understanding how to do every single problem–without even asking him for help on specific problems! Frank’s very punctual, and has no problem going over concepts until you understand them. He's very prompt about replying to your emails, and will even send you supplementary material throughout the week. He also implements methods that actually train you to think in a certain way, which is so helpful when it comes to solving problems on my own later on. He’s very upfront about what you will probably need to expect out of an organic chemistry course, but he’s willing to walk you through all the concepts you need to know to get a great score.

Frank was an excellent tutor for my son. Frank is straightforward and keeps the principles of chemistry easy to understand. Further, Frank was very flexible with his schedule to meet the timing needs for my son to excel in chemistry. With Frank's assistance, he was able to increase his grade by a full grade. I would highly recommend Frank to tutor your child. You will see immediate results with your child being able to better understand the material, as well as seeing an increase in their scores.
Angela R. from Cheltenham, PA
We've had a very rewarding experience with Mr. Frank as my high school daughter's AP Chemistry tutor. He provided one on one tutoring in the comfort of our home. My daughter's grades immediately improved as he reviewed homework assignments, past exams, and current class notes. Mr. Frank was punctual on a weekly basis for 4 months. He stressed mastery of the conceptual and quantitative aspects of chemistry, by enhancing my daughter's qualitative understanding, and analytic and reasoning skills. He was consistently patient and built my daughter's confidence and fundamental understanding of Chemistry. Mr. Frank is highly recommended as a AP Chemistry tutor.
Shannon S. from Hatboro, PA
Frank is very knowledgeable and he stuck to exactly what I needed to know for the class (never wasted time). He researched my topics and gave me extra informative papers and communicated through email if I had a hard time with topics. He always allowed enough time for us to go over material, and I never felt rushed. He was never late to our weekly meetings, very dependable. He helped me reach an A- in Organic Chemistry. I highly recommend Frank to other students!
Destinee H. from Philadelphia, PA
Mr. Frank worked with me throughout the whole semester in Chemistry. After taking the course 2 other times (unsuccessfully), I was able to get through it with Frank's help. I thought I hated Chemistry, but working with Frank has definitely increased my interest. Frank is very patient, kind, and really knows what he is teaching. I would highly recommend Frank. I couldn't have passed without him!
Linda G. from Flourtown, PA
Frank M. is excellent tutor, very caring and patient. Extremely knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.
Renee B. from Ambler, PA
Frank tutored my son in high school chemistry and prepared him well for each exam and quiz as needed. He takes the necessary time to explain complex topics in simple terms and ensures the student understands the concepts as evident in strong test results! Frank is highly reliable and we strongly recommend Frank for chemistry and algebra tutoring!
Irina Z. from Philadelphia, PA
Frank was our son's tutor for more than three months. We have been very lucky to find such a great teacher as Frank. His professionalism, dedication and ability to explain the most complex material helped our son improve his performance in Chemistry (our son's tests scores soared), and get good grades for the final term and for the year. Frank spent as much time as was needed until he was sure that our son knew the material well. My husband and I we both have extensive teaching experience and we can recommend Frank as a very efficient, dedicated and overall excellent tutor. Our son has a very high opinion of him.
Yvette R. from Ambler, PA
I have worked with Frank for the past twelve weeks and he has been committed to my learning. He believes in his students by going over and beyond to make sure you understand your subject. I would recommend his services to anyone who needs a qualified tutor. He does not stop until you understand the subject. Thanks for your patience and support.
Sharon B. from Philadelphia, PA
My name is Sharon and I had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Frank about 5-6 times, is he on time and very patient with his clients. Mr Frank shows you how to break down the problem in a couple of different ways so you will be able to understand it the easiest for yourself. I passed my algebra class with a C, but that was because of me not Mr. Frank. I DON'T LIKE MATH AT ALL. If I would have called Mr. Frank earlier in the semester, I would have gotten an A. Thank you Mr. Frank for your unique way of tutoring. Also Mr. Frank is a professional and he knows his stuff.
Bill C. from Philadelphia, PA
Great Job, my son is ready and needs no additional tutoring. He will stay the course until further notice.
Magdelyn B. from Glenside, PA
My daughter feared that she would fail Chemistry. We were at a loss, no help from guidance counselor and other tutors too expensive, too busy etc. Mr. Frank was in our general area and his rates were very reasonable. He came to my home and sat with my daughter until she understood the material. He has the knowledge but more importantly he is passionate about teaching! My daughter's test scores improved with each tutor session. A great experience and an excellent tutor. We are indebted to him.
Gavin D. from Doylestown, PA
Frank connects easily with students and is able to break down complex principles so students can better understand them. He's just a great teacher!!!
Beverley G. from Ambler, PA
I have not been a student in a class since my sophomore year in college. My experience and knowledge of math was much more than limited. Through my own and husband's efforts I managed to acquire a mastery of 5th grade math. When I began my studies to become a Pharmacy Technician, I quickly realized my success in that field would hinge upon mastering a relatively complex knowledge of conversions and algebra calculations. Without Frank's patience, persistence and effective teaching I would not have been able to learn the required skills and pass the state exam for certification as a Pharmacy Technician. Frank was able to build my confidence through his ability to find different ways to teach me the calculations if I was unable to get it the first or second time. He never made me feel like I couldn't learn what seemed impossible. He is really a very talented teacher. I highly recommend Frank whose effort and support proved to be invaluable. Thank you Frank!
Victoria L. from Cheltenham, PA
Thank You Frank for all your help. I had a difficult time with math and Frank helped me so much. I had my first test and I passed. I got all the math problems right. Frank is very patient and took the time to explain things to me. I would highly recommend Frank and I look forward to working with Frank again.
David N. from Morrisville, PA
Frank is an energetic, knowledgable and down-to-earth tutor. He assisted me in studying for my mid-term exam in general chemistry and was able to cut through alot of the concepts, theories and math to help provide a cohesive picture of the subject matter. His use of real-world examples helped to bring some very abstract concepts to life, I would recommend him to anyone and plan on having him assist me in the future!
Meghan K. from Lansdale, PA
Like most nursing students, I was dreading taking Chemistry, and realized right away that I was going to need a tutor for extra help. Frank is an awesome tutor, who has a lot of knowledge in chemistry , but also knows how to break down all of the concepts so that someone like myself would understand better. Frank is also very flexible and is great when it comes to changing meeting times or dates.
Dwayne G. from Ottsville, PA
-flexible, courteous, kind and patient -evident that Frank enjoys chemistry and explains concepts in easy to understand ways -encouraging every session! -our daughter's confidence increased and stress decreased regarding chemistry! -only regret: not starting with Frank months earlier!!!!
Catherine R. from New Hope, PA
Frank taught my son high school Chemistry. Frank is one of the smartest science teachers I have ever met and we are so grateful to have had him as one of our teachers for our home-schooled son! He is a distinguished college professor at Drexel University and is just a top notch teacher.
Natalia D. from Feasterville Trevose, PA
Frank is extremely knowledgeable in the field of Chemistry, and has helped my daughter to prepare for that part of the 2015 MCAT. He has the talent to convey his knowledge in such a way that makes it very easy to understand.
Audrey H. from Lafayette Hill, PA
My chemistry grades greatly improved after I started getting help from Frank. He was very flexible and even came multiple times within the week before an upcoming test. He also explained the content in different ways several times to ensure I understood the concepts. Definitely affordable and very patient!
Tanya V. from Philadelphia, PA
Frank was helping me with lab reports. His advice on how to present the data in tables/graphs, structure the report, as well as his editing was very helpful! I learned how to convey more information with minimum number of words while still being clear. His analyzing abilities are excellent – I’ve learned how to select most relevant/ important results and interpret them. Frank’s help with Uv/vis and atomic spectroscopy was very valuable as well. I think other students can benefit tremendously from his teaching and industry experience; he is very flexible, patient and easy to work with!
Bryan W. from Philadelphia, PA
Frank immediately went to work and supplied many of his own materials. He was very easy to work with and is very easy going.
James C. from Hatfield, PA
Mr. M and I reviewed my chemistry experiment paper due on Tuesday. It took days to write and his advice was helpful. I am looking forward to working with him again. He kept reminding me to stop him anytime and to ask questions until I completely understood. Will not know my test grades yet but I felt I wrote a good paper.
H O. from Bryn Mawr, PA
Frank has been very helpful in college level Organic Chemistry. Weekly sessions have been useful for learning new concepts, reviewing class work, and preparing for exams. His explanations are clear and concise. I recommend you contact Frank.
Lynneice S. from Philadelphia, PA
Very patient and knowledge. My daughter is having trouble understanding the way her teacher teaches. She said I understand Mr. Frank. So glad we chose him.
Ellie T. from Elkins Park, PA
Only one 2 hour session with Frank so far and I have a completely different outlook about my Chemistry 2 class ! I wish all Chemistry professors were like him!!
Tanya M. from North Wales, PA
Frank's patient demeanor and making sure my son truly understands what is being taught through the questions he asks has helped my son to improve his grade. We are continuing to work with Frank. I know my son has felt Frank to be very helpful for him.
Melanie O. from Philadelphia, PA
He broke down the basics and showed me where I wet wrong. Had a better understanding of the content. Super helpful.
Natasha T. from Glenside, PA
We worked on functional groups, dimensional analysis, anything I wanted to go over, Frank was willing to show me. He's a great tutor.
