About Ben Bullett Mortlock
Hi, I’m Ben. I’m a qualified English language educator and specialist IELTS & CELPIP coach with more than 10 years of teaching experience and over 2,000 lessons delivered to students from around the world.
My professional training includes CELPIP Instructor Training Levels 1 & 2, IDP IELTS Teacher Training in IELTS Speaking & Assessment Criteria, and a 120-hour TEFL qualification. I have also personally achieved IELTS Band 9 and CELPIP scores of 10–12, giving me an understanding of these examinations both as a trained educator and as a successful test taker.
I specialize in supporting candidates preparing for IELTS and CELPIP, particularly those working towards language scores for Canadian immigration, permanent residence, higher education and professional opportunities.
Throughout my career, I have worked with hundreds of international clients at very different starting levels. I’ve supported learners progressing from approximately IELTS Band 4 to 6.5, as well as candidates working towards Band 7+ for demanding academic and professional goals.
My approach is highly targeted. I don’t believe in simply giving students endless practice tests and telling them to “practice more.” Instead, I help you understand why you are receiving your current score, where marks are being lost, and what specifically needs to change to move towards your target.
Having taught internationally and worked with learners from a wide range of linguistic and cultural backgrounds, I understand how much can depend on these results. My lessons are supportive and encouraging, but also structured, detailed and focused on measurable improvement.
If IELTS or CELPIP is standing between you and an important next step in your education, career or life in Canada, I’d be delighted to help you approach your next exam with greater strategy, confidence and clarity.

IELTS & CELPIP coaching should be targeted, measurable and built around the score you actually need — not generic English lessons.
My lessons are designed for candidates preparing for IELTS or CELPIP for Canadian immigration, permanent residence, work, study and professional opportunities.
I begin by identifying your current level, target score and the specific areas preventing you from progressing. From there, we create a personalised preparation strategy rather than simply working through practice tests.
Depending on your needs, lessons can include IELTS/CELPIP Speaking simulations, detailed examiner-style feedback, Writing correction and analysis, Reading and Listening strategies, vocabulary development, timing techniques and targeted practice based on your weaker areas.
I place particular emphasis on helping you understand why you are receiving your current score and exactly what needs to change to reach the next level.
I have conducted 2,000+ teaching sessions and supported hundreds of international clients, including candidates preparing for immigration and higher education. I have personally achieved IELTS Band 9 and CELPIP scores of 10–12, giving me first-hand experience of performing at a high level in both examinations.
Whether you are taking the exam for the first time or are frustrated because your Speaking or Writing score has stopped improving, our lessons will give you a clear, structured plan for moving forward.
No generic worksheets. No one-size-fits-all programme. Your preparation is built around your score, your weaknesses and your deadline.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
I reached out to Ben with three weeks before my Academic IELTS test and was stuck. He immediately showed me where I was losing marks and gave clear strategies to get the score I needed. Thanks to his intensive coaching, my score jumped from 5 to 7.5. He really knows the exam and how to get any level.
Ben prepared me for the IELTS exam, and his approach made a massive difference in my results. What I appreciated most was his structured, practical teaching style—especially for Speaking and Writing. He didn't just point out mistakes; he gave me actionable, step-by-step strategies to fix them immediately. During our sessions, he pinpointed my weak spots right away and tailored every exercise around them. Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, I felt completely prepared on test day and hit my target score. I couldn't recommend him highly enough!
I worked with Ben while preparing for my CELPIP exam, and the experience was genuinely useful. What stood out was that the sessions didn't feel like typical test prep but they were structured but conversational, and Ben was good at identifying where I actually needed work rather than just running through generic exercises.
As someone who already had a decent grasp of English but struggled with sounding natural under pressure, his approach made a real difference. He doesn't push a rigid method, just adjusts based on where you're at and what you're trying to achieve, which I found more effective than a lot of other learning formats I had previously tried.
If you are preparing for IELTS or CELPIP, or just want to get more confident and fluent in English, I would recommend reaching out to Ben. He knows what he's doing and makes the process a lot less stressful than it might otherwise be.See more recommendations

Details
My hourly rate covers a private 60-minute IELTS or CELPIP coaching session, personalised to your current level, target score and examination timeline.
Where appropriate, lessons include targeted practice materials, Speaking simulations, examiner-criteria-based feedback, Writing analysis, Reading and Listening strategies, and a clear action plan for what to work on between sessions.
I also prepare for your lesson in advance, so your session is focused on the areas most likely to improve your performance rather than following a generic textbook programme.
Learning materials used during our lessons are included at no additional cost.
For students preparing over several weeks, I can also help structure a longer-term study plan around your test date and target score.
My aim is to ensure that every session gives you clear, practical feedback and measurable next steps—not simply another hour of English practice.
