Hi! My name is Ben. I'm a current PhD student in Organizational Behavior passionate about helping students of all ages achieve their academic, personal, and professional goals. With a background in higher education career development and undergraduate and master's degrees in journalism and digital media, I offer personalized guidance on everything from college essays and applications, resumes, to writing support and creative endeavors.

Before returning to school, I worked at the university level, assisting high school, college, and working professionals in their career journeys. Additionally, I've honed my skills as a freelance videographer, collaborating with businesses of all sizes. I enjoy helping students with their creative projects, including filming, editing, photography, and graphic design.

Through my experience as a tutor and mentor, I've discovered that a fulfilling life is a tapestry of diverse experiences. Whether you're focused on academics, career exploration, personal development, or creative projects, I'm here to support you in reaching your goals! Feel free to reach out with any questions you have. I look forward to scheduling a lesson together!

Ben is a terrific find!

My 14-year-old son has very discerning taste, and we’ve spent a lot of time searching for the right tutor. Ben has been the perfect match—he's always well-prepared, positive, and knows how to weave our son’s interests into the lessons, keeping them engaging. With our son heading to a highly rigorous high school, Ben has been instrumental in helping him strengthen his writing skills. We're so grateful to have found Ben; it’s such a relief not to hear complaints when it’s time for his tutoring sessions! Ben is an excellent tutor—smart, kind, and truly in tune with our son’s learning style.

A Broad Knowledge

Moving around the world of video. Has a good grasp of the many facets of Prem Pro. A good communicator, highly responsive to questions and answers. He uses the program himself on his projects. That helps his ability to understand your needs.

Creative and Professional

Ben was very inspiring and supportive. I needed suggestions on how to incorporate photos and writing into a book. He had several suggestions. He talked about writing, themes, and suggested storytelling. Great communicator, I felt at ease.

Great tutor!

Ben tutored me in writing and I was able to get a final draft done by the end of our lesson. He was very patient and attentive, and he helped me organize my thoughts throughly. I was a great meeting. Thanks!

Knowledgeable and patient

Ben was patient, he waited for me to install zoom and showed me some presets on adobe pro premiere for black and white film. He was knowledgeable about adobe pro premiere. I’m still new and will be going back to him for more lessons.

Patient, Supportive & Knowledgeable

I worked with Ben on a video I wanted to produce to support an upcoming capstone presentation. Ben met with me after I had been working extremely long days at my job and then nights and weekends on my graduate coursework. I was exhausted and couldn’t remember anything from one minute to the next, but Ben never lost his patience with me. He stuck with me until we had what we needed. He was so encouraging and helpful. I truly appreciate Ben’s dedication to his craft and desire to help others learn. I’m excited to work with Ben again once my schedule frees up (and when I can focus). I HIGHLY recommend Ben. Whatever your level is, he won’t judge. He’ll just make sure you get to the next level.

Great & Proficient Tutor!

Ben assisted me in using an Envato template through Premiere Pro. Everything I needed to do make timeline adjustments, wording, pics etc... We were done before the hour because of his expertise and quick resolves. And I did all of the work. He just guided me through to ensure I was learning and not just watching. Patient, very kind and very knowledgable.

Excellent session!

Ben was great. He was able to teach and share his extensive public speaking experience. The restructuring of the scripts were very helpful. I will definitely come back to him for more help in the future. Thank you!

Excellent Tutor. Extremely knowledgeable.

I would highly recommend Ben. He was very knowledgeable about Adobe Premier Pro. He was very patient and accommodating. He would be a great tutor for anyone. Although I was familiar with an alternative film editing software, he was able to show me some of its more advanced features.
