Ben: Hinsdale tutor

Certified Tutor

Hello! I'm a young mathematician with a passion for teaching. I hold a bachelors degree in mathematics from Indiana University, as well as a master's degree in pure mathematics from Cambridge University. I've been teaching on this platform since I was an undergraduate and my students tend to be younger undergraduates and high achieving high schoolers.


My tutoring is organized around the following principle: in studying mathematics the most essential goal is the development of mathematical reasoning. Technical mastery is a means to this end and not the goal. Keep in mind that in a real world context most of these calculations will be done by computers, so what you stand to gain in studying mathematics is not the methods of integration or the properties of matrices, but the capacity to think mathematically. If your goals in studying mathematics are compatible with my goals in teaching it, I would love to be your tutor!
