"Great to meet you, I'm Frank! I'm a medical doctor and published genetics researcher who enjoys teaching and learning. Thanks to help from my many teachers along the way, I was able to perform well on standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, and MCAT. To me, the best teachers identify what works for each individual student, then make a plan to help that student develop good learning habits... and that leads to success! A student in search of a teacher is a great opportunity!

I scored in the 98th percentile on my SATs including a perfect score on the reading portion. I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and my Master's degree in Chemistry. As a chemistry graduate student TA, I won an award for teaching General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry at the college level. Thanks to my strong MCAT performance, I attended Cleveland Clinic for medical school on a scholarship. I was able to attend a prestigious research fellowship at the NIH during medical school. I completed my residency at Cornell and am currently completing my fellowship at Sloan Kettering, while tutoring on the side to continue my passion for teaching!

I have worked with students of many backgrounds, whether it was at the college level for chemistry, high school level for test prep, or grade school for biology and math, as well as participating in peer-to-peer tutoring during graduate and medical school. My lessons focus on getting real results, and I always aim to teach students how to develop successful habits as life-long learners. By identifying areas that need the most practice and identifying each student's individual learning style, I hope to turn areas of learning difficulty into learning strengths!" less...
