Information about Ben
Hi!
Im a friendly, relaxed tutor with a degree in English Literature from Durham University. Though new to the site, I do have over 100 hundred hours of tutoring experience, and a total of 2 years experience teaching in language schools both in the UK and abroad.
Besides EFL, the main subject I teach is English. Ive helped numerous students improve their grades through a focus on essay technique and close analysis of literary texts. So if youre stuck on Steinbeck, or cant get your head round Hemingway, then drop me a line!
I also have a lot of experience tutoring for the 11+ and 13+, so do get in touch if your child is preparing for either of those exams.
Though I mainly do online lessons, if you happen to be based near Old Trafford, Manchester we could consider starting online with a view to doing face-to-face lessons once things calm down with Covid.
Finally, if youre unsure whether Id be a good fit for you of your child, I offer a free trial lesson to help you make up your mind.
Availability: I am available from 10am to 7pm every day.
Willing to travel: 2 miles
Experience: I have around two years of experience working in language schools, and another two years of experience tutoring online.
During my time at Durham university, I worked online for a tutoring company. I tutored English Literature, maths, 11+ and 13+ and had an average approval rating of 4.8/5.
Here are a few of the reviews I received: `Covers so much in a session. It`s really helping my son make progress and be happy to engage in English. He looks forward to the sessions :)` `Fantastic first session. Covered several aspects and fully engaged my son, who is looking forward to the next lesson.`
During the summers, when I wasn’t at university, I gained a CELTA qualification and began working in summer schools in Oxford, teaching English as a foreign language. I taught teenagers from all over the world in classes of between five and fifteen students.
After leaving university, I moved to Gran Canaria, where I taught for a year in a language academy, specialising in preparing students for Cambridge exams such as KEY, PET and CAE.
