I had a few lessons with Ben but they were very helpful. Ben is an excellent and personable English teacher. I highly recommend him.
Thank you very much Niovi, it was my pleasure!
From Richard
I approached Ben to tutor my daughter in GCSE English language and literature, at a time when she needed help and guidance. My daughter is very bright and was achieving grades 7-9 across the board, so it was a conundrum as to why she wasn't doing as well in English. Having signed up with Ben, there was a fairly quick improvement to her results that Ben built on each week. Ben was able to really engage my daughter, teach her how to structure her work, critically appraise literature, and how to focus on answering the exam questions in the most effective ways.
We saw a dramatic improvement over the course of 6 months with Ben's guidance and teaching skills. I don't want to jinx anything, as we're still waiting for the results.
I would say without any hesitation that Ben is an excellent English tutor that I would highly recommend. Not only is Ben a first rate teacher, he also sets challenging and comprehensive homework so the student can learn offline, in-between lessons. Been scored Grade 9 in English tuition. AAA***⭐
Hello Richard - my pleasure! Thank you for your kind words and I wish Hannah the best of luck
From Tomasz
I am incredibly grateful for Benjamin's exceptional tutoring. My son, who is from Poland, joined a British school in Year 11 and had never attended one before. With Benjamin's help, my son was able to prepare thoroughly for his GCSE English Language and Literature exams in just one year. Benjamin's ability to speak Polish made learning easier, and his tailored teaching methods were instrumental in my son's progress. Thanks to Benjamin's guidance, my son felt well-prepared and confident. I highly recommend Benjamin for his professionalism and dedication.
Thank you Tomasz! Wojtek was a pleasure to teach and I hope his hard work pays off. Bardzo mi miło i uprzejmie dziekuję :)
From Debbie
Ben helped my son in the lead up to his GCSE English exams as he was struggling. My son’s confidence improved and Ben’s ideas and techniques definitely helped him in the exams, particularly the creative writing section. I do feel there was still a need to ‘unlock’ the way my son thinks and help him to see things differently (he is very logical and maths is a strong subject whereas essay writing is not), which didn’t really happen, but I think this was probably partly due to the fact that we didn’t have enough sessions before the exams which wasn’t Ben’s fault!
Hi Debbie - thank you for your feedback. As you say, with only four one-hour sessions before the final exam there were limits to what we could achieve. I’d like to emphasise for future families reading this that while a systematic and sustained tutoring program can transform a student’s approach to a subject, this does take time and long-term commitment. I’ll make these expectations clearer in future. Good luck with the exams!
From Sian
Ben has been great, my daughter enjoys the sessions and he is very knowledgeable.
Thank you Sian. Izzy has been a pleasure to teach - keep working hard!
From Jane
Benjamin is an excellent tutor. My son was struggling with GCSE English at school but since he started having lessons with Ben his confidence has grown. He is doing really well and is enjoying his English sessions.
From David
Benjamin is a great tutor. He's providing great support & suggested a number of new and helpful ways to master the topic. Highly recommended.
From Tashnia
Benjamin was great! He really helped me improve my essay skills and enabled me to understand what I needed to do to make them better. He also helped me become more open minded when it came to looking at different perspectives.
From Alison
Benjamin is wonderful to work with. He's enthusiastic about his subject, which he knows very well and he has a wealth of resources that he shares and brings to lessons. He has a very logical and thorough approach to tutoring; and is kind, encouraging and patient. He highlighted weakness in the first lessons and has targeted his help to where it's most needed. He's generous with his time and sets realistic targets between lessons. Very grateful for his help and would thoroughly recommend him as a tutor. Best wishes, Ben, and thank you…
From Monika
My 7 years old daughter has English lessons with Ben. She really enjoys them. Lessons with Ben are always fun - she says. Ben takes a personal interest in hers progress and is working with her to ensure she achieved her goal. I would recommend Ben to any student. Thank you very much.
From David
I highly recommend Benjamin as a candidate for a teaching position. Ben is an excellent tutor. Within the short period of time he managed to build a wonderful rapport with my son of 14. Most of all he was able to motivate my son, preparing his study plan in advance, thus drawing a clear line for developments anticipated throughout weeks to come and then leading it all the way, making the study material more accessible for the student's easy understanding. He has excellent written and verbal communication skills and is extremely organized. Benjamin is certainly able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. Thanks Ben!
From Kandice
Ben has been really helpful in providing themes and ideas for my A2 coursework. He is a really good tutor, and is enthusiastic about his work which makes the lessons enjoyable.
From Sean
Benjamin is a very professional and enjoyable tutor. When we first met and touched base he was extremely quick to see where I needed help and he has an extensive knowledge of the curriculum and what examiners are looking for. I shouldn't be surprised considering he studied English Literature at Cambridge but despite this he charges a modest rate. I look forward to our next lesson!
From Violet
Ben is being very helpful to my son and my son has started improving and has started showing interest in English. Ben is very supportive and flexible and has a good personality.

Although I've yet to sit my exams, I have noted a significant improvement in my ability to do A2 English Literature under Ben's tuition. Ben is professional and extremely organised, providing a myriad of materials to support what he is teaching. Thus far I have found it all immensely helpful and enjoyable, and would recommend him.
From Belinda
