Before pursuing his JD from the University of Toronto, Ben completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts in film and television at the Savannah College of Art and Design. With eight years of tutoring experience in academic and creative writing, as well as LSAT prep,. He has helped students improve their scores by up to 17 points. Ben further sharpened his attention to detail and critical thinking skills while serving as an Associate Editor for the University of Toronto Faculty of Law Review and as a research assistant.

Ben's LSAT journey, culminating in an impressive score of 179, involved a year-long commitment to rigorous practice and meticulous journaling to track mistakes, strategies, and thought processes. Leveraging this experience, he is dedicated to identifying and amplifying student strengths, addressing areas of weakness, and demystifying the learning process. With a diverse background in writing, producing short films, and award-winning photography, Ben's unconventional thinking enables him to offer students unique strategies and methods to excel on the LSAT.

Having spent nearly a decade refining both academic and creative writing for clarity of message, Ben possesses a deep understanding of a crucial skill for LSAT success—identifying and evaluating author perspectives. He firmly believes that cultivating robust reading habits is essential for mastering the test, and he excels at helping students dissect and simplify LSAT language as a foundational step in their preparation. 

A significant aspect of his approach involves demonstrating to students that beneath nearly every LSAT question lies a similar structure with slight variations. He then assists students in recognizing their strengths and addressing any weaknesses to achieve optimal results.

In his free time, Ben loves rock climbing. He is also a political buff and history nerd. His idea of a good time is watching (or making) pretentious films and TV and playing "Model Model UN" (creating fictional countries and simulating their diplomacy with others).
