Bio

I have recently retired from teaching in Ashtabula Area City Schools. Although I have taught many subjects, my start was as a Title 1 math instructor for 4 years servicing k-6 students. I have taught math in all grades under my certificate. (K-8) My last 8 years have been remediation for all 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students in the district.

I have recently retired from teaching in Ashtabula Area City Schools. Although I have taught many subjects, my start was as a Title 1 math instructor for 4 years servicing k-6 students. I have taught math in all grades under my certificate. (K-8) My last 8 years have been remediation for all 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students in the district.

My goal has been to both help students with strategies that will help them in the long term. This includes both students that struggle with math and also encourage students to extend their math thinking beyond what normally happens in the classroom. Math has been, and still is in many cases, taught in a rather one-dimensional manner. I have worked really hard to extend how all students approach math, with an extremely strong focus on number sense.

I earned my Master's Degree from Kent State's Math Clinicians program. I have also attended many other math programs for teachers such as Project Discovery, Math, in Chardon, Ohio. I also have presented workshops for teachers on various math topics. With my unique history of teaching all grades under my certification, I know-how knowledge and thinking in a grade level should progress from kindergarten through Jr. High.

Please contact me if you wish more information and to schedule lessons.
Thank you,
Jerry Benson

Great Math Tutor!

Jerry is an amazing tutor. My 9 year old went from having lots of issues with math, to being one of the best in his class. Honestly Jerry has changed my son's view and confidence in school. He is a fun, patient and kind teacher.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Jerry was wonderful with our 5th grade boy. Our son struggles with math, especially word problems, and Jerry was patient, kind and able to walk him through some key steps to break down the problem more efficiently and effectively. Highly recommend!

Good trumpet teacher

I am an absolute beginner on trumpet. I wanted to play when the Saints go marching in. He was patient and helpful. He showed me that playing in a different key would be easier and it was he also assisted with the embouchre. I would be comfortable to recommend him to others. The trumpet is not the easiest instrument to learn, but I am progressing with the start that he assisted me with.
