Ben's teaching style emphasizes grounding abstract subjects through students' everyday experiences. Holding degrees in Physics and Astrophysics, his fascination with cutting-edge science hasn't kept him from staying down to earth. Ben values math for its ability to connect diverse topics, and he believes these connections enable students to interpret this fascinating “language of the universe” for themselves.

Ben’s Study Tip: “Try to find math in everyday life, whether it's geometry in your furniture or the kinetic friction under your feet. Learning needs context - combine your lessons with something you can see, hear, or feel!”
