Great experience with Ben learning Python

Ben was incredibly helpful teaching me Python. I learned more with him in a few sessions than I did during my entire semester in my MBA program. He was very patient and thorough during our sessions, every element was easy to understand and digest.

Analytics Intro

Time well spent — helped me under the concept and what I was missing in my own process. I appreciate the support.

Amazing tutor

Ben is fabulous! Rich fund of knowledge with regard to chemistry and very approachable with any questions or uncertainties. He really makes learning doable and enjoyable. We totally recommend him!

Knowledgeable Tutor

I had 2 lessons with Ben who helped me work through better understanding my EDA and helped me troubleshoot some of the errors I was receiving! Overall, it was a good session!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Ben taught my child Chemistry. He has advanced degrees and is clearly proficient. More importantly, my child said he really explained things very well and was thorough. He is also kind and patient and we really appreciate his help.

Highly recommended

I had a session with Ben to review python classes and basic perceptrons. Ben was able to explain everything in a very easy to understand way. He was able to review my code and see where my algorithm was off and help fill in the pieces of the puzzle in a very constructive way as well as provide great feedback. Highly recommend Ben for your tutoring needs. Sometimes professors default to speaking in a very academic way which can be a roadblock to learning but Ben was not like this although he was certainly capable when I asked a few technical questions that required an academic answer.

Introductory Python lesson

Ben is an incredibly knowledgeable and patient tutor with a keen understanding of how to appropriately navigate students with varying degrees of expertise. The first lesson assured me that we would be able to advance towards the short-term objectives without too much trouble. We worked together to formulate a plan on the necessary milestones and a timeline for meeting the objectives.

Wonderfully Effective and Very Patient!

I've only had a couple of sessions with Ben but in that time he has not only significantly helped me in my chemistry class, but he has also helped me feel so much more confident in the subject! He explains things very well and at a pace that I can easily understand him. I'd truly recommend him to anyone!

Lydia, 23 lessons with Ben

Really patient and approachable

I came into the session feeling like I did not know much about Chemistry and I was overwhelmed with my class and Ben made the concepts more understanding to me and was willing to take a step back in order to further explain things to me. We covered how to identify between ionic and covalent compounds and worked several redox problems.
