I love figuring out different ways to help improve English learners who are stuck in their English progress. Not only do I use the knowledge I've gained from not just college and university, but also my own personal insight and experiences to give them insight, methods and strategies to work on their shortcomings and experience progress. My favorite areas of English is exam prep (TOEFL, IELTS, etc.)
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have university degrees in English language teaching and psychology. I've worked in schools, institutes, universities. I've taught English learners who were doctors, pharmacists, lawyers, computer programmers, engineers, scientists, inventors, entrepreneurs and even social media influencers (YouTubers and TikTokers). Also, I've worked with younger English learners (K-12) and especially boarding school students who need to pass exams like TOEFL to get into boarding school in the US and more!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I have developed my own way of teaching different lessons after teaching thousands of students. While I do have certain methods, strategies and techniques I prefer applying, I am a flexible instructor and do tailor my approach to each student's individual needs too considering not every person learns and absorbs information the same way. Hence, the learning process feels less stressful and more enjoyable!

after attending Ben's speaking and writing classes, I achieved my target TOEFL score of 111! In 2 weeks , my speaking improved from 22 to 26, and writing from 25 to 27. Ben provided incredibly useful strategies that made a real difference, and helped me focus on areas for improvement and practice effectively. Highly recommend his classes for anyone aiming to boost their TOEFL scores!

Having approx. two month to prepare for TOEFL, I was very stressed to find out how hard speaking and writing sections were for an unprepared person (especially in terms of trying to finish each task in time). I managed to get 26 in speaking and 27 in writing (scoring 112 in total), and I should say many thanks to Ben for giving me all essential tips and teaching me all tricks that allowed me (even in a stressful situation) to score so much. It was also very helpful to live-practice writing essays, which helped me to feel comfortable with any topic whatsoever. Thank you!

Ben is amazing teacher. The classes helped me a lot to get 28/30 in both speaking and writing sections of the TOEFL. In only 5 classes preparing for the speaking and writing sections, he was able to explain with details all the tasks, give examples, provide excellent templates (different from the ones everyone fins online, and very crucial for the exam), assign homework - which we reviewed together. The writing classes were specially amazing for me. Ben knows deeply the tasks and how to make you stand out amongst all the other contestants. I really recommend it.

I really enjoy my lessons with Ben. The organization of the classes is excellent and well-structured. Each lesson is engaging and dynamic, with many new and useful words and expressions for me. All of this is incorporated into a relaxed, natural interaction. This teaching approach allows me to develop both speaking and listening skills.
I feel at ease and comfortable during our lessons. Ben is always available and shares helpful materials. I’m very glad I chose Ben as my teacher.

I enjoyed the lessons Ben delivered. We used just two courses to improve my TOEFL writing score from 15 to 23 with just one homework and one live practice. In the end, I got a 100, which surprisingly satisfied all the requirements of the programs to which I intend to apply. Thank you, Ben!
