I work with a wide range of students from complete beginners who are new to the sport to elite athletes preparing for high school or collegiate careers.

I acknowledge students' learning styles in relation to what the assignment has asked them to do. I can accommodate diverse needs when solving problems.

He pushes me enough to grow but never makes me feel overwhelmed or self-conscious. Working with Ben has made singing feel joyful again, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better teacher.”

To me, literature is the gateway to groundbreaking transitions for humanity. I worked as an academic advisor and creative writing tutor for high schoolers and young adults.

My goal is to contribute to a literature loving society that once existed before all the screens took over.
