Hi, I'm Ben! I’m passionate about teaching and helping students unlock their full potential. When I’m not teaching, you can usually find me running, reading, hitting the gym, or exploring new places through travel. I believe that learning should be an enjoyable experience, and I work hard to tailor my approach to meet each student's unique needs. My goal is to create a positive and engaging environment where students feel confident and motivated to reach their academic goals. I’m excited to share my passion for learning and help guide students toward success!

Tutoring Experience

I am currently in my third year of primary teaching at an outstanding school, where I have had the opportunity to work through an Ofsted inspection, further honing my skills in delivering high-quality education. Prior to this, I worked in a specialist school for children with autism, which has given me a deep understanding of diverse learning needs and the importance of tailored support. I also hold a degree in Psychology, which has provided me with a strong foundation in understanding child development and learning processes. In addition, I have experience as an activity leader at an international summer school, where I worked with children from various backgrounds, helping them develop both academically and socially in a dynamic environment. These experiences have equipped me with a broad skill set, enabling me to adapt my teaching style to suit each individual’s needs.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching style centres on creating a supportive and flexible learning environment where a child can progress at their own pace. I believe in building a strong foundation of understanding, ensuring that they fully grasp each concept before moving on. However, I also strive to gently challenge them, encouraging critical thinking and pushing their boundaries just enough to spark growth and boost confidence. By fostering a balance between comfort and challenge, I aim to help students develop both their skills and a love for learning, while also ensuring they feel empowered in their academic journey.
