Information about Benjamin
I am an expert tutor and education consultant, undertaking PhD research in Education at the University of Cambridge. As an academic who has been a professional teacher, I provide a combination of exceptional academic knowledge with a deep understanding of the psychology of learning, with proven success optimising the educational development of children across a broad spectrum of needs.
I provide expertise in the key areas your child needs to succeed: subject knowledge, exam-board experience, an insiders perspective of the education system, and a critical understanding of cutting-edge educational research.
I pride myself on delivering exceptional learning experiences and inspiring students to exceed the predictions placed on their performance and, importantly, their own perceptions of their abilities. I develop my students to be confident, independent learners, best equipped to succeed in whatever lies ahead.
As a fourth-generation teacher, I benefit from the combined wisdom of inspirational, innovative educators in tailoring my tutoring to meet diverse individual needs.
Availability: I manage multiple commitments and adjust my schedule, where possible, to accommodate the requirements of the families I work with.
Willing to travel: Home Only
Experience: I provide maths and science tuition for students of primary age through to sixth form, and have successfully prepared students for 8+, 11+ and 13+ exams at some of the most exclusive private schools in the UK in addition to Russel Group universities.
During my 11 years of tutoring, and six years as a professional classroom teacher, I have extensive experience working with a range of students at all levels of attainment, preparing them for a variety of exam boards and independent school exams. I have much experience in supporting students with a range of educational needs, particularly students with ASD and/or anxiety.
In addition to my student-faced activities, I am an Affiliate Member of Oracy Cambridge, the Hughes Hall Centre for Effective Spoken Communication, and provide professional development for teachers and other practitioners.
Whilst I successfully support students in achieving the highest grades and gaining places at the top universities, I have particular expertise in supporting the development of students:
+ with Speech, Language, and Communications Needs (which includes ASD);
+ who struggle with literacy;
+ who experience anxiety;
+ who do not enjoy learning/find learning difficult;
+ who lack self-confidence; or
+ whom others have `given up` on.
Almost all of my tutees come to me through routes other than this website, which is why I am lacking in reviews.
My tutoring is bespoke and tailored for your child. I will equip them with the tools and skills they need to become more effective, happier learners, confident when communicating orally, or in written exams.
The support I provide includes general literacy, numeracy and oracy training. I will help your child to become as independent as possible in their learning (that is, knowing how to work best by themself, with others, and knowing when and where to seek support).
Learning is sequential, so as well as assessing where my students are in their learning journey at the onset, which is often different from indications merely from their year stage or current school assessment, I ensure that my students have a secure understanding at every stage, enabling them to make progress with confidence.
In technical terms, I use scaffolded, dialogic teaching approaches and reinforcement activities designed to embed, develop, secure, and build on new concepts. The overall experience is multi-modal, through the use of phonology, semantics and orthography, supplemented with dual-coding techniques, as appropriate. All this simply translates into them having a productive, positive learning experience, making the best use of time.
