Benjamin

Experienced and clear science and mathematics

Hello. I am an experienced mathematics and science teacher, with a wide range of interests and an extensive understanding of physics and mathematics. I love to talk with students of all ages about these subjects, and I would like to help you to appreciate their fundamental simplicity and beauty while getting you to your academic goals. I hold a PhD in physics from Columbia University, and I have been part of the condensed matter research community for more than a decade. I prefer to tutor...

He has an excellent knowledge on statistic. He explains everything clearly , and i can do my statistic with confidence and " closed my eyes". I wish that he is my professor on my class. I want he to tutor again.. Thank you

Ben is an excellent teacher. He is flexible with his time, and is willing to review and teach any aspect of physics. He is extremely knowledgeable in Physics and Precalc, the two areas where he has been of most help for my son. He is good at teaching Physics because he has taught college physics. He has helped my son read the text, do problems, work on labs and generally obtain a better understanding of physics.I recommend him without reservation.

My son's class average went up 10 points and he got a perfect score on the final! This tutor elicited interest in the subject and clearly conveyed strategies and concepts.

Ben sat with me for a number of weeks of meetings patiently explaining all the various topics of calculus to me. Often repeating topics with new and various applications or explanations, with a definite focus on the trouble spots that I never mentioned but he knew were there. Truly I have a much deeper understanding of calculus and its applications, mostly from watching examples worked out in front of me without hesitation. I can't recommend Ben highly enough as a tutor. If you have a desire to truly learn the subjects that's he's fluent in then look no further.

Ben was instrumental in my daughter's success in math and science this year. As a junior in one of NYC's selective high schools, she struggled with the extremely demanding course work and exams in both Physics and Pre-calculus. Ben provided excellent tutoring support that helped kept her on top of these subjects in a very demanding academic atmosphere. In addition to being a great teacher, Ben was very flexible in scheduling tutoring sessions and went out of his way several times to make himself available to assist my daughter in preparing for tests. She achieved success in both math and science this year and Ben's efforts were an important factor in that success.

Benjamin takes a great approach to tutoring giving the student the "big picture" and then drilling down into the details. He stops regularly to ask his student key questions that help illuminate what the student is grasping and what the student needs help with. He is an educator extraordinaire. I have every confidence that he will help my son pass his regents with flying colors.


Michele S. from Brooklyn, NY

Very adept in understanding and communicating mathematics. He is an excellent and brilliant tutor. I am privileged to be learning from him and would definitely recommend that you call him if you need help in Pre-Calculus.


Sheila W. from New York, NY

I only have 3 minutes to write this - so I will keep it short - Ben is terrific. He is patient and great at working with kids who have learning issues - like my daughter (ADD). Thanks Ben!


Jonathan P. from Brooklyn, NY

I don't think my son has ever asked Ben a question he couldn't answer, and he's preparing for the SAT as well as taking AP Chemistry and Algebra 2/Trig. He even helped my older son in Calculus and Computer Science when he was home from college on break.


Alexandria V. from Brooklyn, NY

Benjamin like a great tutor but after some thought of our session together, I concluded that Benjamin is not the right fit for me.


Cynthia C. from Brooklyn, NY

Benjamin is an excellent tutor. My daughter has improved her grades and has mastered the concepts well. He is knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. We couldn't ask for a better tutor.


Elizabeth W. from Brooklyn, NY

Benjamin is an excellent tutor and really seemed to explain things to my daughter in a way she could understand. She even told me that if her teacher had explained things to her as Benjamin did, that she would have done much better in class. The first session seemed to go well, and I'm relieved to have found a tutor that my daughter responds to, so she can get the help she needs for her Algebra2/Trigonometry class.


Eileen B. from Brooklyn, NY

The class I received tutoring for was a graduate level statistics course (hypothesis tests, confidence intervals, etc). I sought tutoring because I failed an assignment in my class and panicked with a midterm coming up. At the time, I wasn't understanding the concepts in class behind all of the complex formulas, or which to use when, etc. Benjamin helped explain all of the relevant concepts in a way that made sense in the week leading up to the midterm, and I ended up with a perfect score!
