About Ben
I offer a 50% discount for first classes.
I have several years’ experience of teaching to a variety of clients from international bank managers to university preparation students, from a variety of countries. As well as delivering lessons to large groups, I have also worked with numerous students one on one.
I have assisted hundreds of students with their university applications, achieving the best results the school had ever seen in terms of university places both in overall number and with regards to Russell Group universities. Because of this and my own personal experience with university admissions, I am now at my fourth institution of higher education, 3 of the 4 being in Europe’s top 30, I am well placed to advise on university applications at both Bachelor’s and Master’s level.
I have designed courses in English with a focus on both academic, legal, and professional English. Additionally, I have delivered courses on the humanities and social sciences, covering subjects including history, politics, psychology, philosophy, sociology, and evolution. I have also lectured on British culture for a summer school. I am also an experienced historical tour guide, having designed and designed a variety of walking tours in London.
My approach to tutroing is client centred and target-driven. Gaining an understanding of goals and learning style, together we can plan a structured strategy to progress, step by step. My teaching experience has involved working with diverse students seeking specific outcomes, from exam preparation to general language learning and in-house professional training. I have found that focus and flexibility are key, as is regularly checking improvement and maintaining student satisfaction.
In terms of my back ground I am originally from London. I studied history and then law at university before working as a teacher at ProCredit Bank. This position saw me move to Colombia, Macedonia and Germany. Following this I co-managed the university preparation department of a prestigious international school in Oxford. I then moved to Belgium to study anthropology for a semester at KU Leuven, while there I taught English in-house for an international engineering company and designed specialised legal English courses for a Brussels based communications consultancy.
Returning to London in spring 2018, I began working as a historical guide for a multi-national tour company, within three months I was promoted to senior guide and have since designed a British Museum tour from scratch, which I have trained other guides in delivering. At the beginning of last year, I and a former colleague set up our own tour company offering bespoke private tours in central London.
As well as having a 2:1 in Ancient History from the University of Bristol, I have a TESOL from Trinity College, a law conversion qualification and am currently undertaking an MSc in Psychology, which I will complete this year. Aside from my educational and professional background, I am interested in sport, particularly cycling, athletics, swimming, and football. I participate and compete for local clubs, where I have also taken on positions of responsibility such as treasurer. I also follow current affairs and politics and enjoy travelling and reading.

Ben tutored me throughout my History A Level, he made the study so much more engaging than it was in the classroom, really helped push me on to a higher gradr
I knew that my English level wasn't good enough to get into university in the UK so I approached several tutors. Ben stood out immediately and after just a few weeks I noticed a difference. He made the lessons interesting by focusing on subjects that I was interested in and I quickly felt more confident to experiment with vocabulalry than I'd ever before. After around 6 months of lessons, I undertook an IELTS examination, passing with an overall score of 7.5 and enabling me to attend my university of choice. Since then I have receieved assistance from Ben with essays and public speaking, both of which I have improved greatlly. If you want to improve your English and are interested in applying to university, I cannot recommend him highly enough!
