About Benjamin
Experience: 5 yrs
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Biochemistry from Lewis & Clark College. My passion for teaching sparked while I was working as a tutor at a drop-in tutoring center. It was there that I recognized the impact that accessible, personalized education can have on students. This realization drove me to eventually specialize in helping students overcome educational hurdles, particularly in complex STEM subjects. Why I Teach: My commitment to education extends beyond just achieving academic success; it's about inspiring students to explore and understand concepts deeply as opposed to simply memorizing them. I believe in the transformative power of personalized education and am dedicated to helping each student achieve their personal and academic goals. In My Spare Time: Beyond education, I am passionate about staying active and engaged with the outdoors. I enjoy rock climbing, skiing, mountain biking, and running.
