Bio

Although I am relatively new to Wyzant's platform, I have been tutoring outside of Wyzant for over 4 years. I find great satisfaction in helping other students learn and reach their academic goals.

I specialize in tutoring AP Computer Science A (AP CS A) and AP Calculus (AB and BC), and I have also tutored AP Physics, Chemistry, US History, and Latin. I earned a Score of 5 (the highest possible) on the AP CS A Exam, both AP Calculus Exams, and the AP Physics C (mechanics) Exam. I have a...

Although I am relatively new to Wyzant's platform, I have been tutoring outside of Wyzant for over 4 years. I find great satisfaction in helping other students learn and reach their academic goals.

I specialize in tutoring AP Computer Science A (AP CS A) and AP Calculus (AB and BC), and I have also tutored AP Physics, Chemistry, US History, and Latin. I earned a Score of 5 (the highest possible) on the AP CS A Exam, both AP Calculus Exams, and the AP Physics C (mechanics) Exam. I have a thorough understanding of the format of all of these exams.

For AP CS A, I have custom materials designed to help students review every Free Response Question (FRQ) that the College Board has asked on the exam since 2004. And while the College Board does not publicly release the Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) for AP CS A, I am able to help students with those types of questions as well.

For AP Calc AB and BC, I have a large variety of resources to prepare and enable students to excel in their classes and on the AP exams. I have custom condensed notes, FRQ and MCQ problems from past exams, and study worksheets for each unit.

Tutoring has helped me to recognize which concepts students struggle with most, and how to best help them not only learn those concepts but also remember them.

I was accepted into the Engineering school at the University of Virginia (ranked #28 in the nation for Computer Science), where I am a member of the Class of 2027. I come from a family of tutors; my father and 2 older brothers are all 5-star Computer Science tutors on Wyzant.

Your success is important to me, and I look forward to helping you (or your daughter or son) succeed and accomplish your goals.

I specialize in tutoring AP Computer Science A (AP CS A). I earned a Score of 5 (the highest possible) on the AP CS A Exam in 2022. I am very familiar with the format of the exam, and I have custom materials designed to help students review every Free Response Question (FRQ) that the College Board has asked on the exam since 2004. And while the College Board does not publicly release the Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ), I am able to help students with those types of questions as well.

Excellent and caring tutor

Not only is Ben a kind and empathetic soul, but he is an outstanding tutor. He understands and can explain clearly 'why' things work and not just 'how' they work. I know many people Ben has tutored over the years and the result is higher achievement and greater confidence for them. Ben invests himself into his commitments and takes his work seriously. He is passionate about doing what he can to make his students successful. He is definitely worth the investment!

We wanted someone who can teach the Java programing concepts, sample coding program, and AP Computer Science exam preparation. Ben P., taught my son AP Computer Science successfully. He starts with the core concept first for any new learning. Then he prepares logical real-world use cases. Which helps students to envision what this new software program is going to achieve. And later he would cover the coding part of it. That way a 360 degree of scientific learning is done. That makes any student learn in a natural way and feel like classroom white board training. He is very patient & a good listener. He is adaptive, well organized and a true professional. He has prepared his own AP exam question bank. Which he covers part of his teaching. Also he prepares students with many mock tests before the AP exam. That way, students get confidence prior to the exam. For Ben P., the teaching is service to society - Like giving back to the society. Through education, he is developing the next generation, helping them in education and a successful career and better life. He is such a noble person. I appreciate him for all the support he has provided to my son learning AP Computer Science. I strongly recommend him for AP Computer Science.

Very good tutor

My daughter enjoying working with Ben. Very efficient and knowledgeable. He is always ready to accommodate a lesson time if it is very important to you. Always on time and ready to teach.

A very good teacher and very knowledgeable on computer science

I had a session with Ben which he graciously allowed to be pushed back a day due to my schedule. During our session he was very good at explaining the why behind things and when I didn’t understand he would patiently explain it to me in different ways until I understood. He is a very flexible tutor and even stopped our time early (with a reduced charge). Overall, he’s a very good and flexible tutor and I would highly recommend him!

natural teacher for Java

Thanks Ben- most useful instructor Antonia has had in this subject. So clear and natural and easy to work with

Cher, 5 lessons with Ben

Great computer science tutor.

My son really enjoyed working with Ben on AP computer science. His comments: -approachable and kind - Good at explaining stuff and making sure you understand, not just telling you what to do. - Good at staying on tack when faced with a kid who is terrible at staying on task. We will definitely use him again.
