Helping students to learn and understand - with patience and empathy.
There are no bad students - just inadequate instruction. Based on my experience of mentoring, teaching and tutoring I know that even difficult subjects can be made comprehensible. I have yet to encounter a student who failed to master what I was teaching. I do this by listening to each individual, by trying to understand their difficulties, even if unarticulated, and by helping them to devise their own solutions and their own methodologies. My motto is :
"It has to make sense to YOU!"...

Amazing tutor
Unfortunately I found Benjamin very late in the semester and there is only so much that can be done in such a short amount of time. His willingness and drive to help me succeed is unmatched. He’s able to make difficult concepts simple and helped me comprehend topics through my homework and various examples. I will be returning to him whenever I’m needing tutoring again. He’s wonderful, patient and readily available. Can’t wait to work with him again!

Excellent tutor
I was in a time crunch trying to understand a chemistry concept and calculation at night and Benjamin responded to my request right away. He was very patient and walked me through every step until I felt comfortable doing it on my own. He also took the time to assess my general techniques to help improve my study and test taking skills. I will definitely be calling him back for future tutoring needs!

Knowledgeable and Patient
Very professional and helpful especially at the last minute. My son was able to grasp the material easily. Benjamin is patient in his demeanor and explains things in a simple manner

Very patient
Benjamin was extremely patient with me and made sure I actually understood what I had trouble with. He didn’t mind explaining more than once in detail and used different examples when I wouldn’t understand from the first time

Great at explaining confusing topics
This was my first time ever using a tutor on this site. As far as tutors go however, I had a wonderful experience with Benjamin. All the topics were explained to me clearly and he went back to make sure I understood the material for each section. Near the end of the lab I understood the topics well enough to complete the lab by myself and I feel confident I will be able to do so on my other assignments now as well.

FANTASTIC TUTOR
Benjamin S has been a true asset to me. I used him for Regents Physics this year and he helped me improve my academic excellence in Physics. I just graduated high school and I ended up with an A for the year.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor
Benjamin is one of the calmest, thoughtful and kindest tutors I have ever had. With basic knowledge in biochemistry and limited access to school material, Benjamin was able to provide me with an outstanding learning experience online. I will be continuing with him for a very long time and I could not recommend him enough. If you are having any difficulties in any science subject, Benjamin is definitely the tutor to go to.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.
Benjamin helped my son understand the basics of chemistry so that he can move on to more complex concepts. He was knowledgeable and thorough and we would not hesitate to use him again.

Mr. Ben is a great tutor
My son have only been tutoring 2 times with Mr. Ben for biology and he loves it. He said Mr. Ben is very helpful and explains everything to where he gets it. I'm looking forward for him with helping my son more. Thank you, Mr. Ben!!
