About Benjamin
I am a qualified teacher and Durham University graduate with more than 13 years’ teaching and tutoring experience. I have taught over 14,000 lessons and have worked at Sherborne School and Institut auf dem Rosenberg in Switzerland, where I supported pupils preparing for demanding British and international examinations.
I specialise in entrance preparation from 7+ to 16+, including English, Maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, critical thinking and interviews. I have worked with candidates applying to highly selective grammar and independent schools across Britain, as well as pupils moving between British and international school systems.
I also offer expert preparation for the Gloucestershire Grammar Schools Entrance Test and for entry to selective independent schools.
My approach combines rigorous preparation with calm encouragement. I identify precisely where marks are being lost, teach the underlying knowledge and reasoning clearly, and then help pupils apply them confidently under timed conditions. I always aim to make lessons enjoyable as well as challenging.
As a former England international athlete, I also understand the importance of preparation, resilience and performing calmly under pressure.

The first lesson begins with a careful assessment of the pupil’s present attainment, confidence, examination experience and target schools. I then establish a clear programme covering the particular combination of English, Maths, verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, writing, critical thinking or interview preparation required.
Lessons are individually planned rather than delivered from a generic course. We build secure foundations, practise unfamiliar questions, develop efficient examination methods and gradually introduce timed work. I explain mistakes precisely and give pupils repeated opportunities to correct and improve their answers.
Parents receive honest feedback about progress, priorities and the amount of preparation that is genuinely necessary. Where appropriate, I also recommend suitable independent practice between lessons.
In-person tuition is offered in the pupil’s home in Gloucester and selected surrounding areas. Appointments are a minimum of 90 minutes, allowing enough time for substantial teaching, guided practice and review without rushing the pupil.
