I have an associate's degree in Video Game Design & Development, a bachelor's in Mathematics. I recently left a PhD program in Mathematics with a concentration in Computer Science to focus on helping students succeed and working in computer science and game development. I am happy to help students succeed and focus on building strong rapport with students. I prefer to create an environment that allows students to learn without anxiety or stress.

I focus primarily on student success. I have been programming for 22+ years. My language expertise spans Python, C, C#, C++, and Java. I have taught Calculus I and II at the university level, also have done independent study sessions for Linear Algebra, introduction to computer science, analysis of algorithms, theory of computation, proofs, and discrete mathematics. For the past five years I have been tutoring students in all areas of computer science as well as calculus , discrete mathematics, and pre-calculus.

If you want a stress-free environment to improve your performance in math and computer science, I will be happy to provide it. I work with students from the upper high school level to the graduate level. If you want to learn programming on your own I am here to help. I'm excited to work with new learners and help them succeed!

Kevin, 1 lesson with Benjamin

Patient and informative tutor

He was a great tutor! He helped my daughter with Java in A P computer science. She understood it better and I highly recommend him. I am happy to find him on Wyzant platform

Priyadarshini, 4 lessons with Benjamin

Amazing Tutor

Ben has consistently gone above and beyond as an private instructor. I was recently overwhelmed from taking a computer science course with a lot of dense information; he helped me break down my tasks into manageable chunks using his vast knowledge on the subject. I continuously find myself rethinking the way I approach problems as a whole using the information he has given me. I recommend this tutor very highly. Thank you again Ben!

Joe, 11 lessons with Benjamin

Awesome tutor!

Benjamin was very helpful in explaining how to approach and solve various problems for my C++ data structures and algorithms class. He helped me understand difficult concepts and was very patient and knowledgeable in his explanations.
