Bonjour mes amis!

My name is Benjamin and I am here to offer help in tutoring in both French and English. After teaching for five years in the public school system, I am now the middle school French Teacher at the Gilman School.

I have lived in France for three summers (2004-2006) and have studied for six months at La Sorbonne in Paris (2012), a prestigious French University where I studied French literature. At Shippensburg University, I earned a bachelor's in French and English, graduating Summa Cum Laude and was a member of both the French and English National Honor Societies.

I am trained using the latest pedagogical theories in foreign language acquisition; I not only teach the language but I also create an authentic experience for the students so they are learning real-life vocabulary in a kinesthetic way-something books and computer programs can't offer. I am able to bring the language to life and allow students to see how French is not just a subject that they take in school. I attend yearly language teacher conferences to keep up to date with all the latest technological tools and pedagogy.

While in undergrad, I worked as the head French tutor at Shippensburg University for college students and tutored every level of French. With my accrued hours from the learning center, I was awarded Level 2 certification on the CRLA International Certification Scale of tutors. I have also taught English to French students in Paris. I am now the lead French tutor at Loyola University so I also have experience at the college level.

To further develop my ability to create more engaging lessons that cater to students with a variety of learning needs, I completed a masters in Special Education at Goucher College.

Great Tutor!

Ben is a terrific tutor. He is fluent in French and has great teaching strategies. He is knowledgeable and patient. My daughter actually likes tutoring!

Julia, 3 lessons with Ben

Knowledgeable and great with kids!

Ben’s first session with the girls was fun and informative. The girls already know a few simple sentences and words in French! We look forward to working with Ben again and feeling further into the language. Thanks, Ben!

Miranda, 1 lesson with Ben

Great and Patient Teacher

My daughter really enjoyed her first lesson with Ben. She believes that working with Ben will help improve her confidence.

Debra, 3 lessons with Ben

Excellent tutor; knowledgeable and very helpful.

My daughter felt like a lost cause in her French class. But after just one session (albeit a slightly extended one) with Ben, her confidence has been lifted and she is prepared to make a presentation! He knew exactly how to get right to the heart of her struggle, helped her understand, and eased her anxiety. As a mom, I'm grateful!

Shelly, 1 lesson with Ben

Excellent tutor

Made my daughter feel at ease with her material. He was very patient and gave her activities that she could practice on her own.

Sara, 2 lessons with Ben

Awesome tutor

My daughter needed a french tutor, she was only going to be home (spring break) 2 weeks, Before meeting with Ben he emailed me to find out exactly what she needed. The lesson was very helpful, We will use Ben throughout the rest of the semester! Thanks Ben! Or should I say Merci!

Holly, 2 lessons with Ben

Friendly, Creative and Invested

Ben worked with my sons through their French II course in high school. He went above and beyond on a weekly basis to make sure that they could be successful in the class. I won't go into details here because his support of your student will likely be as customized as it was for my sons. Our family is very appreciative of Ben's efforts. If you are looking for a tutor who is friendly, creative in his teaching and very invested in your student's success, Ben is your guy.
