I met Ben through my daughter. She recommended him to me as i was writing my memoirs. Not only did he help me tremendously by editing my chapters, I learned so much by the changes he made in my writing skills. All of the chapters I sent Ben to be edited were sent back to me exactly with what I was trying to convey. Not only did Ben help me with my writing skills he also published a short story that I wrote. He is a kind compassionate person, dedicated to helping others.

I have known Ben for seven years and can speak to his intellect, thoughtfulness and care. As both an avid reader and author, Ben knows much about English and how it can be used to engage a reader and sway an audience. He is also a deep thinker in both his approach to reading and conversation. Instead of accepting words or ideas at face value, he digs into their meaning and intention to discern a grander, more nuanced interpretation. Ben also cares deeply about words, ideas, and people. He is generous with his time and is fully engaged with others in conversation. I highly recommend Ben as a tutor.

I highly recommend Ben because he is endlessly curious and actively seeks out situations and people from which to learn. Ben is a talented creative who approaches projects with a collaborative, easy-going spirit and an open mind. I have learned a lot from him as a contributor to one of his community-building creative writing publications.
