This Is Not General Tutoring

FranklinTutors is designed for students in rigorous academic environments who need high-level, structured support, not homework babysitting.

We work best with:

  • College students in Engineering, Computer Science, or Applied Math
  • Graduate students in Machine Learning, Data Science, or thesis-based programs
  • High-achieving high school students preparing for elite STEM pathways
  • Non-traditional or creative thinkers struggling in rigid academic systems

If you are looking for cheap, last-minute homework help, we are probably not the right fit, and that is intentional.

What You Can Expect

  • Clear understanding of complex technical material
  • Stronger performance on exams, projects, and capstones
  • Structured problem-solving frameworks (not memorization)
  • Confidence navigating demanding coursework independently
  • Long-term academic momentum, not short-term fixes

Meet Joseph Vitale

I am a STEM educator and engineer with a Master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering, where I specialized in scientific computing, machine learning, and applied systems.

I have:

  • Taught and mentored 100+ students as a Graduate Teaching Assistant
  • Supported students across engineering, CS, and data-driven disciplines
  • Founded FranklinTutors to provide structured, high-level academic support outside traditional classrooms

My approach blends:

  • Deep technical understanding
  • Clear communication
  • Systems-level thinking

The goal is real understanding, not just a passing grade.
