Personalized Tutoring for Organic, Biology and MCATs
A personal tutor is like a coach that a professional athlete works with -- no competitive athlete lacks a coach. I tutor students that want to be at the top of the class and for students that want to master the subject, reduce anxiety during exam preparation and improve their grade.
You may actually like Orgo. Organic chemistry can be easy if you have good instruction. Often good instruction is lacking in the classroom due to the large class size, individual instructor's teaching philosophy and differences in students' learning styles. I will teach you from the dual perspective of a student and an experienced instructor.
I did research for my Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD with Nobel laureate Marshall Nirenberg as my thesis advisor. I taught at Organic Chemistry at Harvard and Johns Hopkins. I was an MCAT, PCAT and DAT instructor for Kaplan Test Prep for 6 years and was among their highest paid instructors in the country.
I tutor students from Harvard, BU, BC, Tufts, Wellesley, MIT and other colleges and universities in Boston and throughout the United States. I tutored over 850 private students in the last 16 years. Additionally, I taught hundreds of students in Orgo, Physics, Molecular and Cell Biology, Botany, Nutrition, Microbiology, Anatomy and Physiology and other science classes both in the classroom and as a private tutor. I enjoy teaching and have great success in advancing my students' academic achievements.

Hey Frank! I wanted to thank you again for helping me in organic chemistry. I got an A on the final exam; it was almost identical to the review. Thank you again-I couldn't have passed without your help!

Frank, I appreciate so much all you help and guidance! Before I started working with you I was completely lost in material and would probably flunk this class. I can't believe I've got B when before I couldn't even dream of C-. I definitely wouldn't have done with you. Thank you!

Dear Frank, I wanted to let you know about my results from the last session of organic chemistry, and to thank you for all of your help this summer. I received a B+ in lab, and a B in lecture this past session, along with the B from the first session. This course was quite a challenge throughout the entire summer, but I owe a lot of my success in the course to your help and guidance. I will be sure to recommend your services to any friends who I find will be taking organic chemistry this year. Thank you again, and take care.
Sincerely, Eric (Brandeis University)

Hi Frank! It's Cynthia. I just wanted to thank you for helping me out with orgo and putting me on track. Before I started with you I didn't even realize how confused I was. Now I feel confident and I understand the material so well. Actually, I'm at the top of my class now and certainly on my way to A. Thank you again.
Cynthia

Hi Frank, How are you? I hope all is well with you and your family. I just wanted to thank you once again for your help with the class. Last monday was the last day of class and I think I did well. Because of you I have a better understanding of what was going on in class and I think you very much for that. I also want to let you know that I have an A for the test and I'm very happy and grateful.
I wish a wonderful christmas and a happy holiday! Vica (UMass Lowell)

Frank, I know I absolutely wouldn't get into medical school if it wasn't for you! I just know, without you I wouldn't even get close to the score I've got on MCAT. I am deeply grateful to you for helping me to achieve my dream!

Hello Frank! I probably wasn't the easiest student to work with. LOL! But thank you so much for your patience with me. I was SO lost! My parents still can't believe I made it through this course. Thank you!
