Ben Short tutored my son in Math 11 when he was finding the subject particularly challenging. Ben was an excellent tutor. He is clear, patient, very skilled, and genuinely engaged. Ben had a way of connecting with my son that helped him focus and build confidence. As a result, his understanding of math improved significantly and he looked forward to their sessions. Ben is not only a skilled and effective teacher, but also kind and intuitive, with a strong sense of what his student needs. His sessions were always punctual, well- prepared, and consistently productive. I highly recommend Ben as a tutor. His teaching skill is exceptional.

I was fortunate to have Ben as a pre-calculus and calculus tutor during 11th and 12th grade. He was a truly excellent tutor with profound teaching abilities. When I would ask him questions, even if I still struggled with a concept, he was always patient and explained anything I did not understand thoroughly. He was very encouraging and kind, and his grasp of mathematics is undeniable. I would recommend him to anyone needing some help with their high school math or physics classes.
