I teach young, internationally-minded professionals who want to improve their business English for the purpose of CV optimisation and/or career advancement. As a full-time on-line English teacher with 20 years of experience in education, I have helped more than 200 students prepare for tests like 11 plus, IELTS, TOEIC, TOEFL and EIKEN, with a success rate exceeding 90%. Based on your personal needs and goals, I draw up a teaching plan that usually includes topics like a grammar review/refresh to remove basic mistakes, phrasal verbs & idioms to give a deeper understanding of terms, specific vocabulary for your industry and presentation skills.
Me as a Teacher
I’m Ben, born and raised in Cornwall (UK), although I’ve resided in various different places since graduating from university. I discovered my knack for teaching while living in Asia in my early twenties. As I immersed myself into Japanese and Chinese society, I came to understand the specificities associated with learning a new language. I wanted to pass on my knowledge and got energised by helping others improve their level of English. Doing so has been my mission for the past two decades.
While I’m a teacher first and foremost, I’m also a digital nomad, a certified diving instructor and a history & culture buff.
I looking forward to getting to know you and working together!
My lessons & teaching style
Regarding my teaching method, I address various subjects during one class, to guarantee diversity and hit all key learning areas at the same time.
私のレッスンは、それぞれが必要とする指導法を使って、個々のニーズに合わせてカスタマイズしています。私は流暢な日本語と、フランス語を話せますが、私はレッスンではできる限り英語だけを使用し、他の言語は必要な時のみ使っています。
それでは、私はレッスンであなた

Ben is a great professional teacher! Every class I learn something new! Ben never gets tired of correcting my mistakes. I feel like I have been learning all the things I missed in school: grammar, rules, pronunciation, etc. I'm very thankful to Ben and highly recommend you try a class with him! It will be useful for adults and children as well.

I started lessons with Ben to prepare for my Toelf exam. I was having problems with the "writing" section. Thanks to practising with him and his advice, my grade on the "writing" was 11/12! Thanks a lot!!!

I found Ben because I had to study for my English test and I am really grateful that I had the chance to improve thanks to him. I don't know if I will pass my exam yet, but I will continue taking lessons with him anyway because, in just a few weeks, I have learnt so much and I want to keep improving!
