Jack Benci

Senior Coordinator Continuous Improvement

”Jack's enthusiasm and ability to connect with students enabled him to support students with their studies, and have an impact on their academic skills. Jack was also one of the key writers to a foundational chemistry book our team developed for first year students. He consistently delivered high quality work that was engaging. In addition, he worked well with the team and was able to uplift and support the development of videos and interactive elements, skills which saw him become an essential and highly valued member of the writing team.”

Program Manager (Bachelor of Science)

“Jack is an exemplary leader with a natural gift in the art of science communication. He is no ordinary student…. It is rare to come across a student like Jack who has a very strong academic track record but is particularly memorable for all his leadership attributes. As an alumni of RMIT he was already ‘paying it back’ to the next generation of students in STEM whilst he was an undergraduate student and his passion continues unwaveringly… He is not only a magnificent ambassador for STEM but also for bridging two disciplines to carve out his own pathway”

Senior Lecturer (Applied Chem & Environmental Science)

"Jack is an exceptionally high academic achiever and has demonstrated a strong capacity and passion for scientific research in his chosen field. Beyond academia, Jack has shown a remarkable commitment to the university community, serving as a mentor to other students and as an exemplary ambassador for the university's promotional and outreach activities."

Specialist Technical Officer

"Jack is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and patient mentor for many students during their academic journey. He has an excellent analytical mind and always looks to find the right answer to a problem. Above all, he has an instinctive way of passing this knowledge to students, leading them not only to the correct solution, but also providing a reusable method for obtaining this information on their own."

Student

"Jack has been a huge support for students at the Ngarara Willim centre, helping many of my friends and I with writing, Excel, and research.

Lecturer of Pharmaceutical Sciences

"Jack brings a rare combination of creativity, integrity, and expertise to everything he does. I had the pleasure of working with him on a Pressbook for Chemistry, and even at an early stage in his career, his enthusiasm and innovative thinking were truly inspiring."

Office Administrator

“Jack’s willingness to take on new challenges and the enthusiasm he puts into his work is a credit to him. At such a young age, Jack shows fore thought and a unique ability to create and display any ideas that he comes up with. Jack willingly accepts any challenge or task he is given and does so with maturity and a positive attitude.”

Assistant Director of Radiochemistry

“Jack completed a research project at ARPANSA within the radiochemistry laboratory in 2023. His work significantly advanced our marine radionuclide monitoring methods. He also presented his findings enthusiastically at the Australasian Radiation Protection Society’s conference, representing ARPANSA and RMIT in a warm and professional manner. “

Indigenous Project Officer

“Jack is a valuable member of the Ngarara Willim Team. In his role as a general tutor, he demonstrates attentiveness, open-mindedness, and a strong understanding of our students' needs. Jack consistently maintains a professional demeanor while ensuring a culturally safe environment and offering a friendly, approachable attitude toward our students.”

“Having Benci as my math teacher has been an incredible experience. He has a unique way of mixing personal connection with everyday learning while making the entire class engaging and genuinely enjoyable. He puts effort into connecting with every student, creating an environment where learning feels truly fun and natural. I especially appreciate how open and approachable Jack is. His teaching style is creative, intuitive and super easy to understand and relate to regardless of skill level. He teaches with multiple perspectives on every problem and can make even the hardest of topics easier to understand. Above all, I appreciated having Jack as a teacher who felt more like a friend, someone I could express myself around freely without any fear of being judged.”

“Hello, I’m Seng, I’m a former student of Mr Jack Benci from last semester’s General Math class. He taught us methodically through every step until we understood the concept of the content. Simplifying math concepts into smaller bits made it more manageable for intentional students like myself to understand and to adapt to the different language. However, he never fails to make the class warm and happy but standards were set during study and exam periods. I’m especially grateful for the time we spent together in class last semester.”

"Jack has totally transformed my method of studying math. He provides a method of solving a math problem through visualization. This will go a long way in assisting me to understand the mathematical concept. As an individual, I like the way he has transformed the math lesson into an interactive one. He also takes an active role in monitoring the class to ensure that no one is left behind and also motivates everyone to take part in the class. I also like his teaching style, especially the manner in which he can connect the mathematical concepts with the real world application that can make it easier to comprehend. Finally, I am grateful to have Jack as a teacher, a person who provides me with a safe environment to do anything without fear of mistakes, and a person who can be approached in case I need any assistance."
