Bio

Hi, I'm Benjamin! I help students master Chemistry and Math without the stress. I have over 8 years of experience tutoring, specializing in High School and College Chemistry, as well as Algebra and Engineering coursework. I am a U.S. Naval Academy graduate (B.S. Mechanical Engineering), an active duty Submarine Officer, and I hold a Master's degree from the Naval Postgraduate School.

Hi, I'm Benjamin! I help students master Chemistry and Math without the stress. I have over 8 years of experience tutoring, specializing in High School and College Chemistry, as well as Algebra and Engineering coursework. I am a U.S. Naval Academy graduate (B.S. Mechanical Engineering), an active duty Submarine Officer, and I hold a Master's degree from the Naval Postgraduate School.

I know firsthand how overwhelming these courses can feel. My teaching style focuses on clarity, efficiency, and confidence building. As a Submarine Officer, I work with complex systems every day, and I’ve learned that even the hardest problems become manageable when they are broken down into clear, logical steps. Whether you are balancing chemical equations or working through functions, we will take it one step at a time until it clicks.

I structure each lesson to remove anxiety and maximize learning. I use a digital whiteboard (OneNote) so problems are clearly visualized, and I encourage students to send homework, practice tests, or topics in advance. I review these materials beforehand so we can dive straight into problem solving, rather than wasting time figuring out what to do.

You can focus on understanding rather than frantic note taking. After every session, I provide a full PDF export of our notes and a video recording of the lesson, giving you a complete reference to study from later.

Special Note for USNA Midshipmen: I understand the rigor of the Academy’s academic demands and volunteered as a tutor while I was a Midshipman. Supporting future officers is important to me, and I offer a discounted rate for current Midshipmen. Please message me directly to discuss your course and needs.

If you are looking for a structured, calm, and highly effective approach to Chemistry or Math tutoring, feel free to reach out. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

Life-saver

Ben is a life-saver. If you are looking for support for Chemistry, Ben is patient, easy to understand, and genuinely committed to your success. To help me, he requested information ahead of my sessions. He clearly prepared for the session, then worked at my pace through the problems, making sure I left the session with a solid understanding of the information. He was available at all the times when I needed him. He even offered to make time if needed. He is a USNA graduate, so I recommend him if you’re at USNA and seeking support.

Thank you, Emma! I am really glad to hear that my preparation helped us maximize our time. Having been through the Academy myself, I know how intense the workload can get, so I’m happy I could be flexible and help you tackle Chemistry with confidence. Keep up the hard work!

Detail Oriented, Knowledgeable, Thorough Prep to Ensure Best Instruction

Ben is actively tutoring my son in High School Algebra II with active realization in significant improvement after just a few sessions. Ben is provided the class syllabus and proactively uses it to complete problems himself ahead of time, so that he is familiar with the current course module of instruction; this active prep significantly adds value to the tutor session. We appreciate his preparation and delivery of instruction via a caring and patient demeanor.
