About Me

I am a teacher in the St. Louis area who loves helping others understand difficult math and business concepts. I am state certified to teach middle school mathematics and have extensive experience with Common Core Standards in middle school mathematics. I am in my third year of teaching, so I have experience with an array of methods of teaching both in general as well as explaining and instructing students on specific skills. From my experience, I have learned that students learn best when they understand big concepts, so I constantly try to show students how big concepts tie into real world experiences that they care about. I have been doing small group tutoring for over two years now with students at my school and prefer to tutor in the areas of math and test prep. I draw on my undergraduate degree in finance and my master's degree in middle school mathematics in order to help clients understand concepts in deep meaningful ways. When I am not teaching, I like finding new restaurants, traveling, and hanging out with my dog.

Q&A with Ben

My teaching philosophy is that you need to understand and focus on the large underlying concepts in order to be able to build up your general mastery of a subject.
