I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

Hi, I'm Benjamin and I'm a senior at the University of Illinois. I study computer science and chemistry, and I have a passion for sharing knowledge. My primary goal post-graduation is to work as an IT professional. The subjects I am most interested in tutoring is computer science, chemistry, and mathematics.

In the past, I have taught martial arts, elementary Hebrew, natural science, and computer science. I have worked with students between the ages of six and sixty, and I'm a firm believer that anyone can learn anything with the right guidance, motivation, and effort.

My favorite education technique is the socratic method--guiding a student to answers through asking questions. I find this technique is so useful because it leads students answers rather than just offering them.

My number one goal is helping students succeed. Whether they are looking to push their grade from an A- to an A or simply complete a required course, it's my hope to assist students in their success. Let's connect and see how I can help you!
