About Ben
Hi, my name is Ben and I’m a friendly and patient tutor with a proven track record and more than 20 five star reviews across multiple tutoring platforms. I tutor part-time alongside working as a professional musician.
I graduated with a degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Bath and am dedicated to helping my students achieve their best possible exam results, whilst also encouraging a genuine enjoyment of their subjects. Having achieved outstanding GCSE (8A*s, 3 As) and A-level results (A*A*A*A*) I bring up-to-date subject knowledge and firsthand experience of exam success to my tutoring.

Whilst teaching, I try to guide students towards "understanding" before "knowing". Simple memorisation, especially at GCSE level, is essential and should be part of each student’s approach. However I’ve found through my own journey as a student that going a bit deeper with understanding and really asking questions can save a lot of time in the long run. It’s how you "work smart". Plus it’s a great feeling having moments where you realise you just "get it"! I find it very rewarding to help students realise they can achieve more than they believe is within their capabilities.
In maths and the sciences, understanding a few key principles lays the foundations for learning. It’s easy to feel lost when certain fundamentals are glossed over as they sometimes are in school lessons. This is why in my approach, I will initially try to identify a student's strengths, learning style and gaps in understanding in their own words, then use this to tailor our focus to the right areas. It goes without saying that I aim to ensure that they're able to answer exam questions successfully but it is equally important to me that they feel comfortable asking questions and engaging.

Ben is an excellent teacher. He communicates well and is very reliable with his lessons. He is organised but is flexible enough to tailor his tuition to what is needed on the day. He’s very good at explaining difficult concepts and is also very patient! I would highly recommend him as a tutor.
I highly recommend Ben as a physics tutor. They explain tough concepts clearly, tailor lessons to needs and greatly improved my sons grades and interest in physics. Reliable, patient and professional.
Ben tutored me in both physics and chemistry for GCSE, and was so motivating, understanding and knowledgeable. He was very patient and taught in a way which gave me a lot of confidence in my own knowledge. I went from being in the bottom set for both subjects, to achieving 9s in both subjects because of his support! I would definitely recommend!
Ben helped me get an A in my maths Alevel which led me onto a 2.1 in my theoretical physics degree. So grateful for his patience and meticulousness, enjoyed my sessions and didn’t feel embarrassed to say I didn’t understand.
