A word from our founder:

"Hi! I'm Ben, and I'm excited to work with you this year. My tutoring approach focuses on helping clients truly understand the material, not just memorize it. I've been tutoring for four years and have learned the ins and outs of the business. Last semester, 90% of my clientele were repeat customers, and I strive to have similar results this semester. Although my professor offered me a position at the accounting help desk at May's Business School, I chose personal tutoring because I believe it’s much more impactful to meet with students face to face for an extended period of time. When my clients can confidently explain the topics back to me, I know I’ve done my job as a tutor."
