Benjamin K.
Private tutor in Brooklyn, NY
Education
B.A. in English Literature, Concentration in Art History from Columbia University
Experience
For the last year, I've tutored many students in English Literature, Writing and Art History as part of a boutique education agency, based in downtown Manhattan. Many of those students were later accepted into prestigious New York schools, including NYU. Before that, I had extensive private tutoring experience in the same area, mostly with high school and university students. TEST SCORES: SAT: 2280 (Critical Reading: 780, Math: 720, Writing: 780) SAT II, Literature: 800 AP English: 5 AP Environmental Science: 5 AP European History: 5 AP Biology: 4 AP Music Theory: 4 I want to be a tutor because I love helping kids learn and succeed. I don't think our education system has the resources and sensitivity to deal with every child's abilities, idiosyncrasies, and learning methods. One-on-one tutoring is a great opportunity for students to learn in a comfortable, supportive environment.

Hobbies
I love contemporary and historical art, as well as music and film. I'm very artistically minded, but with a strong intellectual bent. Beyond that, I have a warm, understanding personality with a sense of humor. I'm great at helping students feel comfortable and engaging them in discussions of academic or artistic material. (I am also fairly proficient in French so I could work with a bilingual student.)
