"Hello, I'm Ben! I graduated from the University of Mississippi with a degree in English. I've taught the past five years in public education (in Mississippi, Texas, and Tennessee so far). During that time I tutored after school and by appointment weekly, if not daily. While the majority of my time was dedicated to preparing kids for the ACT (we tackled the English, Reading, and even the Science sections of the test). I'm comfortable engaging with students in any area that involves reading and or writing. I would like to tutor kids who are in the high school ranks, although I will make exceptions.

My overall approach is very laid back. I would prefer if a student or parent came to me and expressed their student's deficiencies, however I understand one, that's not always so simple, and two, it's not always easy to admit we are struggling with something. I was that kid in school who would rather fail than admit I needed help. I'd be more than happy to diagnose a student's strengths and weaknesses and how to address both.

I'm here to help and I'm looking forward to getting to know your kid and most of all eager to aid them in their journey toward success!" less...
