Ben Ark: Melrose Park tutor
Certified Tutor
I'm a second-year student at Virginia Tech pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering with a minor in Mathematics. I have previously tutored with a volunteer organization called BGCME where I had the opportunity to work with some students of diverse learning needs, including those with ADHD. I tutor a wide range of STEM subjects including math, science, and programming up to the college level.
I'm especially comfortable with AP content as I'm very familiar with the curriculum, and as a recent high school graduate, it's still fresh in my mind. My approach to tutoring is centered on helping students truly understand the 'why' behind what they're learning.
I believe that deep understanding leads to stronger retention and greater motivation. Every student learns differently, so I focus on tailoring each session to match their individual learning style.
