Information about Benjamin

I`m a 26 year old post-graduate currently residing in Epsom with a keen interest in natural sciences and life sciences. I`m a committed and passionate tutor and have been tutoring for over 8 years. I graduated with a Distinction in MSc Aquatic Science and a 1st in BSc Environmental Geography from University College London. I work as an Education Officer and GIS Analyst at Surrey Wildlife Trust and am extremely passionate about environmental education.

January 2020: I am extremely busy at the moment and can only really accept adhoc or short term students e.g. for help with coursework or other assignments, but please feel free to contact me regardless.

My approach to tutoring is friendly, fun and supportive. I`m very passionate about geography and hopefully some of that enthusiasm will rub off on you in our sessions! I`m well equipped with the knowledge, experience and resources to address any problems you have, be it exam technique, the Hjulstrom curve or those pesky statistics. I hope to go on from university to become a teacher of geography so any experience I can get now would be invaluable and greatly appreciated. I feel I would be able to provide a great advantage for your child as I am familiar with most of the syllabuses (AQA, OCR, Edexcel etc.) used by schools in my subjects.

Although I am not a practicing teacher, I feel that my fresh working knowledge of the courses and their demands gives me insight that others would lack. Having finished with them only a few years ago myself, I am well equipped to prepare another for anything an exam board can throw at them.

Availability: I usually prefer evenings, as I have to fit tutoring around my work commitments.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have been tutoring young people aged 11 to 18 for over 8 years, achieving excellent results in Common Entrance exam, GCSE and A Level. I am an Education Officer for Surrey Wildlife Trust at Nower Wood in Leatherhead, where I work with pupils ranging from KS1 to A Level, teaching them a wide variety of ecologically-related source material from the National Curriculum and about the wood itself. I am also a qualified Level 2 Forest School practitioner and took part in a SPLATS programme, which is about teaching science to young children at a KS2/KS3 level.

Outside of teaching I have plenty of experience to show dedication to my subjects. Before working full time in the environmental sector, I worked voluntarily with the Natural History Museum assisting in lab work, and with my local Borough Council Countryside Team to help with their conservation efforts in local reserves.

Ben is easy to talk to and knows exactly what level of teaching my son needs in order to improve his skills in geography exam questions. He is empathetic and very helpful. We are really pleased we have found him.

Ben has been tutoring my daughter throughout her A level year. I asked how she would sum him up and she said `He`s everything a tutor should be knowledgeable and patient` and that really is an excellent summary. This year has been a lot less fraught for us than her AS year was because I can now say `why don`t you check with Ben`, not only about geography but everything associated with this academic stage like university applications which he`s been very happy to advise on. I can`t recommend Ben highly enough.

Benjamin was my geography tutor for nearly two years. He had helped me excel at a subject, which at first I had found very difficult to understand. He had helped me understand the key parts of geography and had also kept me organised and on top of my work.

He was a great tutor who had helped me achieve a grade B in geography when I was working at a grade C/D.

Thank You

Mr Benjamin is a great tutor who is very confident in teaching geography and also communicates well with the student. He helped my son achieve 100ums for his geographical decision paper. I highly recommend mr Benjamin as he is a very good tutor

Well my daughter went from a D at AS to a B at A level so that says it all really. She is now going to study Geography at Uni so thanks Ben. Ben is patient, reliable and happy to provide extra help when needed.

Benjamin has been tutoring my daughter since March for GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Geography as she had missed some school due to illness. He has a very positive approach to tutoring and began by going through the syllabuses to see where her gaps in knowledge were. He has taught my daughter the required information for these subjects and prepared her for the exams but most importantly his kind and positive approach has helped to build her confidence before the exams.
A big "thank you" to Benjamin.

Tutors Response :

Thank you Amanda! Georgie was a pleasure to teach and so glad that her confidence has improved. Good luck for results day!
