“I am really happy with Ben, he is the best teacher I have ever had. He knows my weaknesses and helps me improve them.” (Rosa, from Spain)

“15 hours of English lessons with Ben gave me much more than the whole three-year stay in London". (Joanna, from Poland)

“He’s professional, friendly and has a lot of passion for the English language.” (Karolina, from Poland)

In your free trial lesson, I will assess your English and identify what areas need improving. Depending on your ability and needs, my classes will focus on:

• Grammar: Studying the tenses (how and when we use them), using prepositions (e.g. in, at, on), modal verbs, phrasal verbs, articles (a, an, the), the passive and active voice, and much more.
• Speaking exercises: Discussing important and interesting subjects, practising different grammatical structures and using new vocabulary.
• Pronunciation: If you struggle to hear the difference between through and throw, thought and taught, walk and work, or anything else, you are not alone! English is a nightmare when it comes to pronunciation, but I’ll fix any problems you may have.
• Learning new vocabulary: I like to include news stories and interesting/funny texts in my classes to introduce new words into your vocabulary.
• Idiomatic Expressions: We probably share a lot of the same, or similar expressions (how do you say ‘to kill two birds with one stone’ in your language?), but it’s important to learn idioms which are so commonly used in day to day conversation.

The classes take place at my home, or over Skype/Zoom. I can also take classes at your house or at a local cafe if expenses are covered (depending on your location). Take advantage of the discounts offered (see below) by booking classes in advance.

Wherever you are in the world, thanks to Skype/Zoom etc, you can take classes online from the comfort of your own home. Online lessons are just as effective as face-to-face, offer more flexibility, and you don't have to leave your house. I email students with worksheets and I use the Skype text facility or screen sharing as a virtual chalkboard!

Are you coming to London for a holiday? I do intensive courses - classes every day (typically 2 hours a day) - to give you a real London experience and improve your English. The classes can be at my home, or if you prefer, in central London - so you can practise your English AND see the city! We can meet in pubs, cafés, or wherever you like.

1 week (10 hours) at my home = £300, or in central London = £500

If you're interested, we can meet for a free Skype class before you travel. For more information about this, send me a message.

This could be a great option for those wanting to practise their English AND get shown around by a Londoner! I will come to meet you in London, and we can design your day based on your needs. For example, we could do a two-hour class in a cafe, and then we can travel around London together, practising your English. I'm happy to recommend my favourite places, or go wherever you fancy!

5 hours (including a class) = £200*

*If you want more or less time, I am flexible, so please just tell me what you'd like to do and I'll give you the price!

Born and bred in London, I have been teaching English since June 2015, having completed my TEFL course with a Distinction. My background is in media – I have a Masters Degree in Journalism from Birkbeck College (University of London) and I was a radio presenter from 2009 to 2016. I also studied Drama at Exeter University between 2006 and 2009.

My passion for languages started several years ago, when I decided to start learning Spanish. I have been studying at the University of Westminster since 2013, and managed to practise my Spanish during a trip to Argentina at the beginning of 2015. My love of languages inspired me to take a TEFL course, and I’ve been teaching ever since – and loving every minute of it!

I really enjoy helping people improve their English, as well as meeting people from all around the world with different cultural backgrounds. Hopefully I can help you too!
