“Over the years, I have hired numerous tutors for my children. There was one who stood out above all the rest... Ben Cattau. Ben helped my son tremendously with his ACT prep. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is looking to have their son/daughter prepared for (or raise their scores on) a standardized test. Ben really knew the material. He had so many helpful techniques. He was patient, professional & very skilled at his job."

Mr. Ben Cattau’s tutoring was very successful and allowed me to increase my ACT score by 4 points. With a personalized approach, he targeted my areas of weakness and taught me tools that I used to better navigate the test. I felt that the individual practice and tutoring sessions were both efficient and effective. With only 3 sessions I was able to improve my score from the high twenties to the mid-thirties. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone interested in tutoring for the ACT.

“Ben helped me with my ACT prep so much, and I would not have been able to get the score that I did without him. With his help, my composite score increased by 7 points, and my overall understanding of how to take standardized tests improved greatly. Ben is also simply a really great person to work with. He always encouraged me, never put me down, and always helped, no matter how stupid the mistake was. To summarize, I would not have been able to achieve the results that I did without Ben's help, and I would definitely work with him again if I needed additional help. .”

“Ben is extremely mature, knowledgeable, patient, and professional. He goes above and beyond helping with homework by also teaching studying skills. After just a few short weeks of working with Ben, our 9th grader went from Cs to all As and Bs. Our sons look forward to the days that Ben comes to our home and have been taking their studies more seriously. We highly recommend using Ben's services and only wish we had found him sooner!

— Russlee Armstrong, Radnor HS Parent

I very highly recommend Ben Cattau as an ACT tutor! He worked with my son on his prep once a week for about two months and helped him to achieve a perfect score the first time he took the test. Not only did my son find the meetings with Ben to be extremely helpful and productive, but he actually enjoyed them!  Ben's personality is kind, warm, and encouraging. He has a gift for teaching the material thoroughly while instilling confidence in his students to prepare them to sit for the test. He also supplies many practice tests for students to take. By having students take many practice tests and then targeting his teaching to the areas where they need work, Ben is able to help kids reach their potential. He's also a great guy.”

“I highly recommend Ben if your high schooler needs support for standardized testing. He has been instrumental in helping our son prepare, including sending notes each week describing progress, next steps, etc. He is not only smart and very skilled in strategies for "how to take the test", but we also found him to be very professional, always on time, and great temperament for our son. Very worth it!😃

“Ben has been instrumental in helping our children grow as students. His knowledge of each subject area is amazing. Our children are thriving academically thanks to Ben and BooC Tutors!”

“I have never worked one on one with a tutor before my time with Ben. I was impressed with the value I received working on high-level math. I enjoy math a lot and have always thought working with a tutor was for kids who are struggling. This was different. He helped me to expand my math ability by working intensely on Calculus. His easygoing approach makes learning fun and not stressful at all.

- Mikey Hayden, Conestoga HS Senior

Ben was great at keeping me on track with taking practice tests on a schedule and going over the questions after. His encouragement and reinforcement of testing strategies made me feel confident going into the exam, and his tips helped me do even better than on my practice tests. I truly appreciate his help and support throughout the entire ACT prep process.

-Lower Merion, PA Junior

When I started with Ben I was unsure of the strategies and processes to get me through the test with proper timing. However, after meeting with Ben and using his tips and tricks I was able to improve my score by 6 points! Together, we were able to set a goal, create a plan, and crush that goal with flying colors. 10/10 recommend!

“Ben has helped me study, edited many of my papers, and has helped me immensely in graduate school and work. My GPA in undergrad was definitely not the 4.0 Ben help me attain all 4 years at an Ivy League graduate school. I am incredibly grateful for his ability to help me achieve many accomplishments in my academic career these last 4 years.”

— Alexandra Joy Seits, UPenn Graduate Student

“Ben is an amazing tutor. He went above and beyond, was flexible, and really catered his tutoring to my son’s time, schedule, and learning style. I would absolutely recommend him. He was personable and attentive, and my son has learned so much. Ben tutored my son for the ACT.”
