Ben

Maria D. from Poughkeepsie, NY

Ben had different ways of teaching the material that made it simpler to understand. He complimented the good work and patiently explained the parts that were not so easy.

Margaret C. from Hopewell Junction, NY

My son has been working with Ben for over a year now. Last year Ben helped him in geometry; this year it is algebra 2/trig. He encourages my son to think through the task at hand in order to have a full understanding of the subject matter. He also stresses good working habits when approaching math problems. My son currently has an A- average in algebra 2 for the quarter. I'm sure with Ben's help that this will continue. =Ben is also working with my daughter in algebra 1 with the same results which has been a great benefit. Ben invests a great deal of effort into each lesson. I can tell he truly enjoys working with students.

Christine D. from Clintondale, NY

Ben is a calm, patient tutor. The reviews are excellent and his plan for support is most helpful. We feel that this has been time well spent.

Laura M. from New Windsor, NY

This was our first time working with Ben. He was flexible, patient, and possesses an unassuming confidence in his approach. I loved that he utilized some hands-on items to visually show my son concepts when he was not getting the verbal explanation. I could see the light bulb going off in his eyes as if to say, "Now I get it.". When we left, my son commented that Ben helped him understand some concepts that were confusing him and said he had already learned several new things. I would highly recommend Ben.

Frederick M. from Dover Plains, NY

Initially, we were going to have one hour sessions. It is summer, and one hour seemed long enough. My son and Ben now have 2 1/2 hour sessions, and my son enjoys them. He said he has learned more from Ben in his 4 lessons than 2 years at a prestigious Boston boarding school. Ben is a brilliant teacher.

Jasmine H. from Poughkeepsie, NY

I really appreciate Ben's encouraging words to my son. He knows that learning is predominantly an emotional issue for some children but a major part of the instructional process for all children. He exemplifies the need to build trust in order to inspire confidence.

Melanie B. from Millbrook, NY

Ben is an incredibly smart man who knows and understands material well. He is helpful with everything and gave me the notes he wrote after each session for my use. He is a very talkative, friendly, and understanding person who has a great personality for a tutor.

Fatima Y. from Poughkeepsie, NY

Ben is the best tutor I have ever had. The way he breaks everything down for me gives me the foundation and knowledge to get through all my assignments. I have a true appreciation and respect him and his talent! So if your looking for a good, resourceful, extremely patient and thorough tutor, I tell you to look no further! Thank you Mr. Ben!

Dylan T. from New Paltz, NY

I received tutoring in microbiology and math for the GRE. In anticipation for Micro, I was extremely nervous about taking the course and was not expecting to earn anything higher than a C. Ben helped me tremendously and I currently have an A in this class! Ben thoroughly explained concepts that confused me, and he went out of his way to research topics in his own time in order to explain them as best as possible. I HIGHLY recommend using Ben as a tutor!!!

Desi S. from Poughkeepsie, NY

Mr. Ben is very nice. He confirmed what we thought is wrong with our son: he was not taking his time to do the work. I really believe Mr. Ben can my help son with his math. He was very patient and I know my son felt very comfortable with him. I believe we have found a match!

Joy B. from Wappingers Falls, NY

My daughter is in the 11th grade, and has been through 4 tutors since middle school, and by far Ben O. has been the BEST tutor we have ever had. Not only is he very well liked by our daughter, but she is so happy with all that she has learned so far with Ben. He is very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and basically makes our daughter feel comfortable and confident in herself. Our daughter has told us that in the one hour timeframe that she has spent with Ben, she has learned more with Ben, then she has in school since 9th grade. Our daughter has always struggle in school with Math & English/Reading, but hiring Ben to tutor our daughter to help prep her for her upcoming PSAT & SAT testing this upcoming school year, has given our daughter & us as parents the confidence to know that she will do well under Ben's guidance. I am sure that you will be able to read our positive feedback once again after our daughter successfully completes all of her testing, thanks to all of Ben's outstanding tutoring. Thank you Ben for everything so far, we're looking forward to our successful tutoring journey.

Mary P. from Poughquag, NY

Ben is a lifesaver! Patient, kind and knowledgeable. We reviewed my week lesson, including factorials, probabilities, and sample spaces. I am so grateful for this website, which allowed me to find Ben. A co-worker is interested in finding a tutor for her daughter, and I recommended she use this website and request Ben!!

Joan S. from Hyde Park, NY

Ben, Thank you for tutoring my son this past spring. I wasn't sure how it would work out...he hasn't taken an English course in years, and with his special needs is not keen on reading or writing. Plus your background is more on the high end students. I was concerned. I have known too many regular education teachers that do not want to be bothered, makes them nervous, or 'just don't get it' ever. It's a different learning environment. You take all the gold stars!! Somehow you did the impossible and taught my son how to structure and think. Between you and his English professor he enjoyed and learned. As a mother, seeing the brightness and understanding in his eyes...I cannot thank you enough.

Bernadette C. from Poughkeepsie, NY

Excellent knowledge and ability to engage with student. Patient and thorough. Provides student with background information to make informed decisions.

Kim A. from Hopewell Junction, NY

Ben is very knowledgeable and patient. My daughter had several ah -ha moments during her first session. She felt more confident right from the first tutoring session.

Cameron M. from New Paltz, NY

Ben helped organize what I should work on to prepare for my SAT. In each lesson we touched upon important material and I learned many new and imperative methods for taking the test. Methods that I never heard in the Kaplan SAT preparation course I took prior. I also learned a lot about math and writing outside of the test in these lessons. Ben is very gracious, kind, and wildly helpful. I am very pleased with my lessons and am scheduling more with him to prepare me for two SAT Subject Tests.

Patrick D. from Staatsburg, NY

Ben took the time to see where best he could use his skills to help my daughter prepare for the SAT. He is very patient in explaining math concepts in a way that she could really understand and apply. I'm very confident that this will pay huge dividends, and help her get some great college offers.

Robert G. from Fishkill, NY

Ben was very knowledgeable and helped my son with his homework and he was able to finish it at home on his own. Thanks.

Patty F. from Pleasant Valley, NY

This was our first visit with Ben. My student has been struggling with Intermediate Algebra on the high school level. My son found Ben to be personable and patient. Ben went through problems step by step for clarity and the students understanding. Ben is well educated and very professional. We were very satisfied and will continue with him.

Ben's in depth knowledge of algebra and trigonometry combined with his ability to reference noted mathematicians/scientists and the historical origins of formulas has made learning pre-calculus more meaningful and enjoyable. Ben provides a three dimensional view of the topic whereby the student can confidently approach solving problems from different perspectives.

Paula R. from Hyde Park, NY

Ben O. was very warm, welcoming and professional when we met him. It was great to see the light come on with my son's understanding for those things that had caused him frustration dealing with Algebra 2. My son was excited about the tutoring session and he knew immediately that he wanted to continue to learn from Ben O. I think Ben O. is an excellent tutor Thank you.
