Bio
Carrie Wallace
Benjamin is a time-management badass in addition to being a motivated and talented writer. He was a non-traditional student mostly in the sense that he always worked very hard regardless of what others were doing. Working with Ben on class projects when we split off into groups was always a great idea, from my perspective, and my perspective is yours.
Jill Thomassian
Ben tutored our son in English this quarter for high school and he received his first A in the subject. I think that Ben was able to help suggest creative subject matters to write on that led to an increased interest in the subject and provided great feedback to help with his writing style to make it more compelling. We downloaded Ben's book Atlas from Amazon Kindle and thought it was a great book, now my son wants to write a book report on it.
