"Our students love Mr. Bennett. I introduce him as a historian...and they immediately became intriqued. He usually does 2-3 programs a year here. Jeff has a great teaching style. He is very easy going and flexible. He answers all of the students' questions, however off-base they may be. He comes prepared with handouts, beautiful charts, posters and diagrams for the children to view. I am positive you will not be disappointed with any program Jeff presents to your class."

"It is with pleasure I write a letter of recommendation for Jeff Bennett, a presenter in my 4th and 5th grade classrooms since 2001. During that time he has presented a variety of programs...in two different elementary schools I have worked in. I have had numerous speakers in my classroom over the years and Mr. Bennett's presentations have been interesting, informative and engaging. We, therefore, have asked him to return each year.
What has impressed me the most is his depth of knowedge on subjects he addressed, tying-in necessary skills and standards. He has the ability to quickly establish rapport with the students. They feel comfortable enough to ask many in depth questions, that even as a social studies teacher, I would not have the scope of knowledge to answer. Thus, I would recommend Mr. Bennett without reservation for all the programs that he offers."
