About Ben
I grew up in Bristol, UK, the eldest son of a Computer Science Professor (not my area of expertise ...)
If I am honest, one of my primary motivations for entering teaching was that I was not always very impressed with my own schooling !
Having worked in EFL / EAP in universities and language schools for a few years, I gained my PGCE in 2008 and worked in Primary and Secondary education, both in the UK and abroad, for the following 15 years.
COVID changed the paradigm - I came out of school teaching and tried something different. Tutoring gave me the opportunity to lose the institutionalised aspect of learning and to make it more of a personalised project.
Over the years, I have taught students from over 50 different countries - I love to travel and meet people from a variety of backgrounds.
I speak French, Spanish and Portuguese in addition to English - languages have always fascinated me.
I am a keen musician and sportsman - I play jazz piano, football and hockey (it is always nice to bond with students over these common passions and pursuits!)

All languages in which the lesson is available :

My lessons are based on friendly rapport and are unashamedly conversational, as well as purposeful.
I take the time to find out what my students need and to get to know them - this helps to tailor lessons to mutual benefit.
I can be flexible with lesson timings - I find some students can focus for longer than others!
I have been teaching and tutoring for over 20 years in 6 different countries, spanning Primary through University and Adult education and across the age and ability range - I am happy to cater to a variety of needs.
