WHAT PARENTS SAY
JENNIFER J., Parent
My daughters have been taking classes with Ben for over 9 years!
From engineering, history, art, mathematics and more. He's been one of the most influential teachers in their lives!
Katie S., Parent
My son has been taking LEGO engineering classes with Teacher Ben for the past five years, and it’s been an incredible journey. He’s taken a wide variety of classes—ranging from U.S. history and chemistry to Greek mythology and multiple engineering topics—and he’s truly enjoyed every single one. The amount he’s learned is amazing, and it’s all thanks to Teacher Ben’s passion, patience, and deep knowledge. These classes have been a highlight for us, and we’re excited to keep coming back!
JOELLE M., Parent
I am a mother to 3 of his former students and whenever Ben was teaching a class, they all begged me to enroll them! He is a master at creating educational curricula that are innovative and powerful. Seriously, the man is a jewel.
