Personal Statement

Although I am relatively new to Wyzant's platform, I have been tutoring outside of Wyzant for over 4 years. I find great satisfaction in helping other students learn and reach their academic goals.

I specialize in tutoring AP Computer Science A (AP CS A) and AP Calculus (AB and BC), and I have also tutored AP Physics, Chemistry, US History, and Latin. I earned a Score of 5 (the highest possible) on the AP CS A Exam, both AP Calculus Exams, and the AP Physics C (mechanics) Exam. I have a t...

My daughter enjoying working with Ben. Very efficient and knowledgeable. He is always ready to accommodate a lesson time if it is very important to you. Always on time and ready to teach.

I had a session with Ben which he graciously allowed to be pushed back a day due to my schedule. During our session he was very good at explaining the why behind things and when I didn?t understand he would patiently explain it to me in different ways until I understood. He is a very flexible tutor and even stopped our time early (with a reduced charge). Overall, he?s a very good and flexible tutor and I would highly recommend him!

Used really good analogies and gave good tips for my test tmr on iteration. Knew how to answer every AP CSA problem and could explain it in a simple way.

My son really enjoyed working with Ben on AP computer science. His comments: -approachable and kind - Good at explaining stuff and making sure you understand, not just telling you what to do. - Good at staying on tack when faced with a kid who is terrible at staying on task. We will definitely use him again.

So thankful that I found Ben to help my sophomore daughter . He has tutored her in both CSA and Algebra 2. He is able to explain concepts in a way that she understands. I would highly recommend booking a session with Ben !
- Alison G. from Heavener, OK
My son was struggling in his first AP Computer Science class because his teacher has not been explaining the "why" behind what they are doing. Ben was very good and correcting this by explaining the "why". I will definitely schedule more sessions with Ben.

Amazing time management. Clarity of presentation. Emphasis on key items during the instruction. Have plans to leverage Ben's help for the rest of the year. Thanks for your time, Ben.

Ben is an excellent tutor! My daughter is working on CSA exam prep, his teaching style is engaging and effective. Ben is patient in explaining concepts and made sure she understood before moving on. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to excel in their studies and achieve academic goals.

Ben was great and helped me truly understand what I was limits, something that I was a little lost on prior to our lesson.

Ben is tutoring my 15yo in a summer pre-AP computer science course. He is enthusiastic about his subject and explains concepts clearly. He is flexible and conscientious about scheduling lessons and following up after each one. I feel really lucky we found Ben, and will hope to have him continue to work with my son in the future!
- Ann E. from Silver Spring, MD
Ben is very patient and knowledgeable. He explained certain details that were confusing my son. He went over different problems a d I heard my son saying a few "OH, yeah!" Very happy with the sessions.
- Edwin C. from Charlotte, NC
Not only is Ben a kind and empathetic soul, but he is an outstanding tutor. He understands and can explain clearly 'why' things work and not just 'how' they work. I know many people Ben has tutored over the years and the result is higher achievement and greater confidence for them. Ben invests himself into his commitments and takes his work seriously. He is passionate about doing what he can to make his students successful. He is definitely worth the investment!
