Information about Ben

I`m a counsellor giving therapy for adults and teenagers in the NHS, with the charity Mind and privately from my home in St Albans. I graduated in physics from Nottingham University with a first class honours before working in management consulting for two years with Accenture in London. From when I began my studies I have tutored maths and physics and love working with my students. Despite a career change into psychology (I did a masters at the Edinburgh University and have since qualified as a therapist) I maintain my teaching as I thoroughly enjoy it and I find my counselling work complements it perfectly.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have - I`ll be happy to answer.

Availability: Mainly weekends but some weekday availability - please message for my most up to date availability!

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have tutored part-time since 2011, both in-person and online with equal success. I typically take on 10-15 students per academic year.

DBS Check: Yes

Ben really listened to the kind of help we required for our son. He built up his confidence, not just in the Physics and Maths which we asked him to help with, but in the process gave our son back his self belief. Ben was patient and very quickly worked out the best plan of action. I never thought we would hear our son say he was actually enjoying his extra Maths. He never felt overwhelmed, and with Ben`s slow and steady guidance, he was confident going into his exams and as best prepared as he could be. He passed both Maths and Physics and is now back at school studying A Levels. I can`t recommend Ben highly enough.

I was on Cs and Ds in Physics A level but with Ben`s help I was able to achieve an A and I am so grateful! Ben is very good at explaining concepts in physics, especially by using helpful analogies and connecting the concept to something I can easily visualize. He is very caring, not patronizing or commanding at all, and is very willing to go over something over and over in order to make sure you understand it. When going through exam questions it`s almost like having an examiner by your side with Ben helping you! Would definitely recommend him as good physics tutors are hard to come by and he is amazing.

It`s early days yet , but Ben has built a good relationship with my daughter and she has gone from being reluctant to have a tutor to very positive . She is finding the work helpful and improving her understanding . She was also excited to find out Ben could help her with Maths too !

Ben supported our son’s Maths A level knowledge and skills over 3 sessions to prepare him for his mock exams. We found Ben to be very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. Our son’s confidence improved markedly and he felt better prepared for his exams. He achieved a B grade which was a higher than expected. We will definitely use Ben again.

Ben has been tutoring my son during this school year and has really helped him to gain the knowledge, understanding and confidence in his work while undertaking AS and A2 Physics in one year.
He has a fantastic attitude and is totally committed to providing a high level of tuition and teaching methods, this, with being flexible, accommodating and having a great understanding with my son we hope will give the best results possible in the summer.
Ben is extremely patient and an overall excellent tutor, we can’t recommend him highly enough.

My son has only been seeing Ben for a few weeks but already feels more confident. Ben has a very pleasant teaching style, very calm and patient. He also keeps me up to date with his progress.
