About
I'm a great explainer, I get on well with students of all ages, my schedule is flexible and based on your needs, not mine. Also, you don't have to prepay or sign up for a set of hours in advance. Plus, I am one of the funniest guys around. Most of all, students improve their grades after tutoring with me!!
Explaining, patiently helping, watching a student increasingly become more confident as (s)he begins to grasp the material, and.......getting paid to help someone relax with humor!

We have had an excellent experience with Dr Frampton. He explains all the lessons very well and has helped my daughter tremendously in her college prep Chemistry course. He uses various methods of explaining/teaching the topics so that the concepts are well understood. She has already increased her grade in the class by almost 2 letter grades and we will continue to utilize his tutoring services.

Dr. Frampton tutored my daughter for an accelerated Inorganic Chemistry class taken over the college winter term. He was so knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive of her. He made himself available over the holidays to ensure her success. We would highly recommend Dr. Frampton as a tutor and my daughter plans to reach back out should she need help in any of her Chemistry courses for the upcoming semester!

Mr Roger is very knowledgeable with the subjects. My daughter found his explanations clear and easy to follow; his tutoring sessions have always been helpful. Mr Roger is also kind and patient with my daughter. We really appreciate his willingness to work with our busy schedule, and help support my daughter through a challenging school year.

We were so fortunate to have found Dr. Frampton. He had been our go to throughout our child’s high school when extra support was needed in chemistry, geometry, and now algebra II. He was able to improve our child’s grasp of the subject(s) which positively impacted her confidence and grades. Thank you Dr. Frampton!

We have had an absolutely wonderful experience with Roger. He is extremely knowledgeable in both organic chemistry and math (Calculus) and explains concepts in a way that truly clicks for my son. He is always very responsive, reliable, and incredibly flexible with scheduling, which has been a huge help for our family. Most importantly, he is amazing with my son—patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in his success. I have seen tremendous growth in my son’s confidence and understanding since working with him, and I am so grateful for everything Roger does. I highly recommend him to any parent looking for an outstanding tutor.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Everyone pays the same - My rate is $60 per hour. Reduced rates for more than one person at a time (as long as they are covering the identical material). People over the age of 85 get free tutoring......
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
There's a reason they contacted me, so I find out what they need right away. I make sure they are understanding what I try to explain to them. The only difference is, I back off on the humor until in my judgment they've been around me long enough to appreciate it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Well, a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry, 30 years teaching Chemistry at a Community College, and (so far) about 17 years one-on-one tutoring in Math, Physics, and Chemistry.
