Hello. My name is Benjamin Ramos. I have taught and coached in private schools in the Los Angeles area and now in Hawaii for 30 years, being very experienced as an AP and middle and high school Social Studies teacher and a championship winning coach. I have tutored many kids in the Arcadia/Temple City area over the last 20 years, specializing in tutoring children of Korean and Chinese descent who are relatively new, not completely new, to learning English. Most importantly, I love kids. I have been a parent for 23 years, having four kids of my own. I know the anxiety of parents who want to see their child or children learn to their potential. I love to see them learn and be a part of it.

I believe learning is a result of hard work by and effective and clear communication between the teacher and the student. I know that I can help your child if they need help in Social Studies, English, Writing or standardized tests such as the PSAT or SAT.

Approved Subjects

American History

American History

I have taught American History for over 20 years of my teaching career, including 15+ years teaching AP American (U.S.) History. I have a love for History that will allow for you to maximize learning and perhaps develop a great love and appreciation for American History. You will not only learn History more effectively, but you will also learn better how to think of American History.
Basketball

Basketball

I am definitely qualified to teach people how to play basketball. I coached (Head Coach) Varsity Girls' Basketball for 6 years and guided Pacific Hills Schools' Lady Bruins to 2 California Interscholastic Federation Championships, one in 2004 and 2005. In 2005, the girls and I got to the State Championship game, but we lost. I am very capable here.
CBEST

CBEST

I passed the CBEST Exam. I am very skilled at basic writing, math, and reading comprehension. Because the exam focuses on these areas, I think I would be helpful to anyone who is thinking about taking this test. The CBEST is easy with the right tutor.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have been an English tutor for elementary age children on and off for the past 12 years. Additionally, I was an English enrichment instructor for 1st through 6th grades at the Children's Academic Learning Center between 2000-2003. I believe that this makes me qualified to assist students in Elementary school.
European History

European History

I have taught World History for 8 of my 25 years of teaching, both Ancient and Modern World History. My experience includes all levels of students and History courses. I will be helpful both in learning historical facts and learning how to think about European History.
Geography

Geography

I have been a Social Studies for almost 30 years, including have taught 7th grade Geography for several years and AP Geography for two years.
Government & Politics

Government & Politics

I have taught AP Government for many years, having many of my students score a 4 or 5 on the exam. I have a love for this subject that will translate to your learning the subject better and maybe even developing a love for the subject. You will develop a new and effective way at looking at not only the subject of Government in school, but also understanding better its function.
Social Studies

Social Studies

I have a B.A. degree in Political Science from U.C.L.A. I am credentialed in Social Studies by the California Commission on Credentials. I have taught History, Economics, and U.S Government for 21 years to high school and middle school students.
Study Skills

Study Skills

From 2000-2003, I worked at the Children's Academic Learning Center in Temple City, California. This institution focused on the improvement of study skills of kids from 1st grade through 7th grade, and I was an integral part of that institution. I have also tutored kids ranging from 3rd grade through 12th grade in study skills from 2001 to the present.

I have been grading writing and been writing academically for over 25 years and know what good writing should look like.
