I have always loved teaching.
Why English? Firstly, it’s my native tongue, but it is also so playful and rich with meaning. Words have arrived in English from so many places. We seem to have at least two words for everything.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have taught many people and the best sessions involve having a good conversation— which I find to be very enjoyable. Often, my students have an excellent grasp of English, but still feel insecure about the minor mistakes they may be making. It is easy to not know which article or pronoun to use and friends are too polite to provide corrections, because the meaning is clear. I like to work with both confidence and fluency and also in parallel focus on native sounding speech patterns.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I think the best way to learn a language is to have conversations. I have a lot of experience in life and have travelled the world. I am also well read. We would have enjoyable conversations where I would be able to correct grammar and pronunciation. I have great empathy as a teacher and know if someone doesn't understand. I can adapt my teaching style to the individual needs of my students.
Ben has been the best English teacher I have ever had. He’s brought me beyond the do’s and don’ts of grammar into the joy of the language.
He’s inspired me with the stories he’s told me and he’s brought my confidence up by gently correcting me while keeping the conversation going.
He has the natural gift of empathy. I strongly recommend him whatever your need may be. Teachers like this are rare.

Auswahl der Lehrkraft
I really wanted to find a teacher to work with accent, grammar and conversational skills. And to my surprise, I found all this in one teacher. Ben feels the student very well, the lessons are productive and fun, they give me confidence, my colleagues already notice the result, which is especially pleasant. I am very grateful to Ben and Italki for such a wonderful opportunity to study and improve my level ! Highly recommend Ben's classes.

It was a nice moment to discuss with Ben.
My Goal was not really to progress but to kind of warm up my brain for a job interview... and Ben did great for it.
Bonus he also provided me so tips to not be too nervous for my interview.
