About Ben
As an experienced tutor, trusted teaching assistant and recent graduate; I understand that everyone learns in different ways. My goal is to help you discover this and to support you in working efficiently to achieve your academic aspirations. I studied maths and physics at university which I have found, when tutoring A-level or GCSE, allows me to show students many different angles from which to attack a problem, as everyone best learns concepts in slightly different ways. From many years of preparing for various assessments, I can share my strategies and tips for what worked best for me as well as how we might tailor this for your particular working/learning style.

After introducing a topic, I believe in teaching through asking questions. This prompts students to think more deeply, often unlocking information that seemed lost. Furthermore, this gives you the opportunity to attempt explanations as the best way to learn is through teaching. I have found this has allowed previous students to build confidence in their abilities, while consistently adding to their knowledge. Lessons are always tailored to the student and their needs, so naturally vary in style. I feel that the following general structure is a good place to start for an hour session: Hello! Go over any issues/misunderstandings from homework (up to 15 mins) Explain new topic(s) and go through demonstrating examples led by student (at least 40 mins) Set homework problems for consolidation/testing of understanding (5 mins) I also offer exam prep sessions which focus on problems (questions) from which gaps in understanding can be flagged and filled. These sessions build strong exam technique and problem solving teaching you how best to show off your knowledge to an examiner. Although I am most experienced in A-level and GCSE curriculums, the subjects I teach are easily transferable between different styles of assessment and exam board. When initially meeting with a new student, I work hard to quickly become familiar with their exam board and curriculum if it is not one I have taught before.

Ben is a fantastic educator and a genuine lovely person; I’ve worked as his colleague for 3 years now and he has always been an incredibly committed, engaging and inspiring teacher. He is thoroughly experienced and has a profound understanding of maths and physics qualifications across GCSE, Alevel and degree-level and having observed his sessions they are always incredibly detailed and reliably informative. His passion for teaching is so clear and he really brings a fun and enjoyable spin to every session! Would highly recommend!
Ben is a brilliant teacher. He was patient and articulate when supporting me with statistics in my Psychology degree. He successfully explained concepts which I had previous struggled to grasp. He is an effective communicator and an active listener as well as a warm and compassionate person.
Ben is an incredibly smart and lovely guy. He is an excellent teacher, being patient and able to explain difficult concepts in simple terms. I can't recommend lessons with him enough!
Ben is a fantastic communicator: clear, passionate and effective. He understands varied situations well is very adaptable to changes as and when they come.
I know Ben from a sports society background, and couldn't recommend him more as a leader and tutor. His application of knowledge and his own experience in a coaching or tutoring environment is outstanding and I know many people who have progressed their skills and developed their performance because of Ben's input. Generally, he's always a friendly face in a crowd and willing to put in the time to help others, I'd highly recommend getting in touch to see what he offers!
Ben was a great tutor and was really useful, he finds different angles of teaching you especially if you don’t understand the first time. Was very supportive and felt like he really cared about improving your ability, would recommend to anyone, was great!
Ben and I were colleagues at university where he completed a degree in Maths and Physics. As a tutor myself, I highly recommend him. He is personable, enthusiastic and driven. He has a breadth and depth of understanding that allows him to approach questions in different ways to suit the needs of his students.
He is also a kind and thoughtful person who takes the time to truly understand the needs and challenges of others, allowing him to further tailor his teaching. His enthusiasm and passion for his subject and for tutoring itself are clear to see and are sure to make for engaging lessons for any student.See more recommendations
