Benjamin v.
Private tutor in New York, NY
Education
Master's in Teaching - Seattle Pacific University I graduated with honors from all of my grad and undergrad programs.
Experience
I have worked in tutoring and education for nearly a decade. I recently moved to NYC from Seattle, where I was a high school teacher at Nova High School, a part of Seattle Public Schools. I have worked with students from many backgrounds and all ages, including special education. I've worked as a mentor for high school students and have a talent for encouraging teenagers and young adults, including those struggling with issues of substance abuse and low self image. I have attended many professional development classes and seminars while working in Seattle Public Schools. It is important to me as a working artist to remain working with youth. I have a great connection with young people and I have vowed to always stay in education in one form or another.

Hobbies
I play music professionally, both as a solo artist and as a part of a touring band. I have traveled North America extensively. I write songs, poems, and short stories. I speak Somali (my wife is from Somalia) and I know a bit of Spanish. I love to play basketball. I love teaching and learning and I am an eternally curious person. I've always tried to be a person who learns from others, even if they are much younger than I am.
