About Me

I am fascinated by the universe and the way it is revealed in math and science. Math is a very logical and orderly discipline, and I really enjoy discovering the elegance and simplicity behind it. Science is awe-inspiring, and it is a joy to study the beauty woven into the tapestry of life. Some of my favorite topics to study in science are special relativity, astronomy, artificial intelligence, and molecular biology. I also enjoy creating music and art, and reading good literature. I am currently reading books by Robert Louis Stevenson and Sir Walter Scott. One of my highest pursuits has been the study of education. I have been studying Waldorf and Montessori educational theories, among others, as part of a journey to better understand the learning process, especially as it occurs during early stages of childhood development. I hope that these studies will enrich my tutoring practice, and give me further insight into the capabilities and needs of students I work with. I believe that every human being is unique, and every human being has great potential. I look forward to meeting your child and doing my part to help them along on the path to success.

Q&A with Benjamin

Whenever I study math and science, I take the time to think about each concept, and really get to the bottom of it to understand what it means. I like to visualize concepts and break them down into their essential components. When I tutor, I start by getting to know the student and what they really understand about the subject. During the session, my goal is to present the great ideas behind each topic in an engaging and understandable way. If there are trouble spots, I like to track down their origins and get back to the basics behind the concept before we advance. When possible, I like to communicate ideas visually and use objects and drawings to tell a story and convey an idea. Over time, we will develop study materials together, and I may suggest extracurricular resources that will help the student in the subject they are learning. My mission is to help students understand the universe they live in and to present facts and figures in their larger context (not simply hand over formulas and tricks they can use to pass the next test).
