Bio

About 15 years ago I began teaching physics labs at the University of Hawaii. I found the experience so rewarding that I decided to move to China and teach physics and math in public and private high schools. I worked my way up to the department head where I solely designed the curriculum. The students performed at the highest levels and completed projects in 3d printing, mechanical engineering, robotics, JavaScript, Python, and civil engineering.

About 15 years ago I began teaching physics labs at the University of Hawaii. I found the experience so rewarding that I decided to move to China and teach physics and math in public and private high schools. I worked my way up to the department head where I solely designed the curriculum. The students performed at the highest levels and completed projects in 3d printing, mechanical engineering, robotics, JavaScript, Python, and civil engineering.
After returning to the United States I took a job as a physics professor at Grand Canyon University. There I taught the physics labs and finished a Masters in Software Engineering at Harvard Extension School. I finished my thesis in the use of neural networks in mathematics education.

I taught Precalculus, College Algebra, and Calculus at the University of California Riverside. I taught Algebra II, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus, AP Calculus AB/BC, Differential Equations and Linear Algebra, at Kinglee High School in Zhengzhou China. I spent extensive time creating an AP curriculum and preparing students for tests. I privately tutored about 100 students in Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Mathematical Methods for Engineering, and the 3 semester Calculus sequence at various universities through out North America. I also self studied through the CS231 coursework so I am aware of modern Linear Algebra coursework such as the VMLS Stanford curriculum.

I taught physics lab at the University of Hawaii and Grand Canyon University. I also taught AP Physics 1, and Physics at Kinglee High School in Zhengzhou China. I privately tutored about 50 students in College Physics, Mechanics (Physics I), Electromagnetism (Physics II), Waves and Modern Physics (Physics III), AP Physics 1 (Mechanics), AP Physics 2 (Electromagnetism), and AP Physics C (Mechanics/Electromagnetism) at various universities through out North America.

Nothing makes me happier than helping students!

Big help!

Benjamin has been helping my son with AP physics 2 and calculus AB. He has been super accessible and really great at explaining concepts. We are so thankful we found him.

Fantastic Experience

Benjamin was such a blessing to my son this year for Pre-Calculus. He was engaging, friendly and it seemed personally invested in my son’s success. Their weekly sessions resulted in his grade improving by 15 points. Worth every penny. Highly recommend!

My son said Mr Benjamin is a godsend

My son was taking a truly challenging math class and Mr Benjamin helped him not only survive but thrive and ended with an A! He is knowledgeable, available, encouraging and just an overall positive influence for my son. We can’t thank him enough for his patience and being available last minute.

very thorough and responsive teacher

Benjamin was very prompt in his response so my son was able to quickly get his questions answered. After the session, Benjamin provided a thorough review note to me and also shared useful sites/links for my son. thank you!

The Best Math Tutor - Bar None

Ben is an incredible math tutor and person. He works with both of our teenage boys, in Algebra 2 and Calculus. In addition to tutoring them under normal circumstances, Ben has helped both of our sons catch up in math after serious injuries resulted in weeks' long school absences. Though our kids are different in many ways, Ben has developed a true connection with each of them. They like and respect him, look forward to the time together, and continue to bring home A's in math. We feel very grateful for Ben's good teaching, but especially his incredibly good care of our sons. 5 Stars - Every. Single. Time.

Knowledgeable, patient, understanding, funny

Benjamin T. taught me calculus 2. Im currently at a university with a challenging math curriculum. Benjamin taught me extremely well. He was very patient, considerate, and funny. I actually enjoyed getting online for a tutoring session which I can't often say.
