Ben's Feedback

Ben is an amazing History tutor and mentor! We were lucky to find him a few months before Olivia’s GCSE exams. Ben managed to help Olivia bring her grade up from a predicted 4 to a solid 7 (only a couple of marks off an 8)! Olivia has now chosen to do History at A level and is going from strength to strength. Most importantly Ben makes the lessons fun and engaging and has inspired Olivia’s passion for History. It is so wonderful to see the enthusiasm and confidence learning a subject can bring. Thank you Ben!!!

Ben is a fantastic tutor. He has been tutoring my son since September. Before Ben’s involvement, my son was predicted a poor grade in History for his GCSE but thanks to his hard work and Ben, he has achieved the top grade. What an achievement. We will continue to use Ben for my son A levels.

Ben has been an excellent source of knowledge and support for my Son in preparation for his GCSEs. His professional yet approachable manner ensures that teenagers are engaged and focused during his sessions and assignments. I would highly recommend Ben.

We couldn't be happier with the work that Ben did with our son in the his final year, running up to A Levels. We started with a kid who didn't have a clue how to write an essay, structure his coursework and process facts into arguments. We ended up with a revision machine, happy and confident as he went into his final exams.

Would highly recommend a wonderful young man.

My child's review is, "Ben is an amazing tutor, has helped with struggles and has taught me new ways of remembering key terminology and information in geography. Overall, I would highly recommend Ben for pupils who need tutoring, online schooling, who want/need to go through homeschooling route (short or longer term), exam revision or gap filler."

I have been tutored by Ben for the past year and a half in Politics A- level. Ben has a unique ability to make the subject of politics engaging and enjoyable to learn, which seemed almost impossible to me at first. His holistic approach to teaching goes beyond the subject, as he also provides invaluable guidance and expertise on crafting personal statements. I truly believe that Ben's knowledge in this area is unparalleled. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from him, and I highly recommend him as a tutor for anyone studying politics amongst the range of other subjects he teaches.

Ben has built an excellent rapport with my son during their sessions, instilling a confidence and purpose when approaching his history a level. My son’s coursework has improved 2 to 3 grades depending on the topic thanks to Ben providing the tools and skills for my son to reach his potential.

Ben has been an absolute life saver in the run up to the GCSE exams. He is an absolutely excellent tutor and my son feels so much more confident now.

My Son found Ben helpful and enjoyed his history lessons. Ben was able to help him with past paper questions and exam technique. He kept me regularly updated and was prompt with all communication. He was flexible to accommodate our needs - thank you Ben.

Ben is an excellent teacher, works hard to access his students and guide them to preform to their best potential.

Contacted Ben at the start of year 11 to support my son through the last year of English GCSE as he was really lacking in confidence and has always found English more difficult. The impact of having to sit through an extra year of a subject he isn't keen on in order to retake it whilst doing 3 A levels would not be good!

Ben got straight down to identifying where he felt my son's difficulties were and worked in detail through examples from past papers to support him, bringing me up to date with what they had done whenever I saw him. Ben is also a bit of an entertainer (linking some of this into examples of what he was teaching) which made a subject my son found tedious, much more enjoyable to work through.

Having got to the end, my son was definitely so much more confident and I have no doubt his grade will be much higher in August than originally anticipated. I would happily recommend Ben to anyone struggling with English GCSE.

My son has been getting tuition from Ben for a few months now in GCSE English and History. He has gained in confidence in both subjects and his mock exam marks have already increased. Ben also provides me with regular feedback which is greatly appreciated. We are very thankful for his help.

Ben has been a huge support with A Level Geography and Politics, helped fill any knowledge gaps in such an engaging way that what had seemed so frustrating for my son has just ‘clicked’. Ben is just so enthusiastic and competent with his subject matter meaning my son felt so confident with Ben from day one. Ben’s dedication in wanting his students to get as much from his sessions as possible is clearly evident. Would highly recommend.

We are extremely happy with the tutoring that our son James has received from Ben for his English GCSE. Ben has not only helped James improve his English by several grades but he has also been a huge inspiration to James and, the knowledge he’s gained from Ben has also helped him across the board with his other subjects. Thank you so much Ben for your continued support.

Ben has been helping my son with History GCSE. He is an excellent tutor who my son has an excellent rapport with. His lessons are interesting and enjoyable, and most importantly effective. Ben is easy to deal with, very helpful and as accommodating as his busy schedule allows. I highly recommend.

I first found Ben because I was attracted by the hundreds of comments below his introduction, and they were all very positive. The second I was attracted is by his experience, the profile show that he graduated from very prestigious secondary school and university, and scored highly in admissions interview. So I got the impression that this tutor must be very methodical and may be helpful for my son as my son needs English help very seriously. And later the facts also proved this point. After several sessions, my son said Ben was humorous and methodical, familiar with all the exam board syllabus, and very clear about the score points of the GCSE exam. He teaches well. My son now likes his class very much, and he feels that it is really helpful for learning writing. Ben is also quite responsible. No matter how tired he was after lessons, he will communicate with me about my son’s performance. He will encourage his good performance and sincerely point out the aspects that are not good and need to be improved. Ben is a responsible and smart tutor, lucky to find him and definitely highly recommend!

Ben was really fantasic with Jack, not only helping prep him for his exams in terms of knowledge gaps and techniques, but also gave him a confidence in his abilities previously unseen. Would highly recommended for anyone looking to prep for entrance exams and interviews.

Ben is an excellent tutor. He helped my daughter preparing for 16+ exam to Westminster. I can say that he fantastin. He is engaging and that he gave Sasha challenging tasks so that in the end she was very confident in herself. Even though we don't know the result yet, still - huge thank you!

A no-nonsense tutor who knows his stuff and is funny and interesting to boot. A great find!

Ben has been a great help for the time that we’ve been working together I have only worked with Ben for the past four weeks and he has been exceptionally responsive to my sons doubts when it comes to geography and going over the structure of exam style questions he is patient and his teaching style is very effective. Ben has given my son the tools to make the topics interesting while giving the crucialI appreciate it knowledge so that my son could give judgments and points of view when tackling the many topics of geography so far Ben has been incredibly useful to my sons learning.

Ben tutored my 15 year old son in English and History for about six months in the lead up to the school exams which replaced GCSEs in 2021. The advice and support Ben provided was invaluable and I saw my son’s confidence and ability develop enormously. Ben also provided me as a parent with regular, detailed feedback so I could better understand my son’s development areas and progress. More than being an outstanding tutor though, my son found something closer to a mentor and inspiration. After each session he would come back full of ideas and **Web Address Removed** (no mean feat with a teenager!) He enjoyed every conversation and respected Ben as a person very much. This was all during a different period of lockdown and home schooling so we were extremely grateful to have found such a special person. Ben is now tutoring my other child in IB history and is having a similar effect. I struggled to find **Contact Detail Removed**ing so was delighted to find such high quality people through First Tutors and to realise that virtual lessons are no barrier at all to learning. In fact, I think they suit my children better.

I found Ben last winter at a time when my Year 11 daughter was sadly struggling with her confidence in English and Religious Studies. I was afraid I had left it too late but after just a couple of sessions I could see positive change. I think Ben understands teenage behaviours very well and that is so important. He knows how to keep them engaged even on bad days. My daughter describes him as always positive, happy and motivating. Whatever the outcome of my daughters GCSE's Ben truly played a large part in getting her through. We hope to continue to use Ben for A level subjects and again when my son's time comes to start the GCSE journey. Thank you Ben.

Excellent tutor who has helped my son achieve high grades in his GCSE assessment. Ben is more just a tutor. He is a mentor and a role model!

Ben has been tutoring my son for around a year now. He has guided him through his successful Cambridge application, the ever changing A level assessment process and made History an enjoyable subject. Ben has kept us up to with progress and kept my son up to date with the work load.
he has been incredibly supportive and motivated my son to keep going throughout this tricky year.
I would not hesitate to recommend Ben he was a lucky find. My son is on track to reach his target grade in History,
Thank you Ben… Much appreciated

Ben is an amazing tutor who has been working with me for just under a year. Working with him, my grades have improved from D/C to A/A*. He knows how to teach in an digestible/relatable style for teenagers and has made me enjoy my subject a lot more than I did before. He is flexible and quick to mark work, even submitted outside of tuition sessions. Would highly recommend!

An experienced and enthusiastic tutor. Could provide helpful guidance in a way that most teenagers like.

Ben has been amazing with our son, patient, coaching and yet tough when needed. Our son was very ill and missed most of his sixth form. Ben has coached him through his A-Level syllabus. Fingers crossed he will get the grade that he deserves.

Is it fair that a student can be taught by a tutor such as Ben? He's excellent… and I think the education system can learn a lot from the methods tutors like Ben employ to improve the abilities of their students…

Ben is utterly thorough and fair- and has invaluable advice to give and gave us outstanding support through this Pandemic retake crisis. Wish we had known him for years. We truly highly recommend him.

Fantastic tuition. Ben has really helped with my brother's confidence and ability when approaching an exam.

Ben has had a significant impact on our daughters progress at A level. In addition to building confidence through a high level of academic subject support (structuring essays etc), in my daughters case, he has also been proactive in supporting her through, and managing, the various stresses and anxieties which often accompany A level studies and can hamper progress if not addressed. In our daughters case, having a teacher that believes in her ability is a big boost to her academic progress. Overall, Ben has not only been a fantastic academic tutor, he has played a crucial mentoring role in our daughters learnIng journey and we are very grateful for that. He strikes the difficult balance between getting things done but creating an enjoyable, relaxed learning environment. Thank you Ben.

Although we have used many tutors for different subjects over years, my son is very certain that Ben is the best tutor he has ever seen. He is Intelligent, highly knowledgeable, always make good plans and preparation, excellent sense of humor that makes the lessons so interesting. Highly recommend!

Excellent tutor. Goal directed, Ben has a knack for acting as an enabler, and Mike really enjoys the sessions, which is just as important. Efficient, on time, relaxed and informal but not familiar, super sharp, all the good stuff. Well done Ben, and thank you.

Ben was amazing. He not only boosted my Academic confidence but had the patience to help and support me to boost my grades. He is a great explainer, flexible and was able to help me will a range of university units. Would definitely recommend.

I couldn't be more grateful for Ben's help over the last few years whilst completing my university degree in History. He is a clear, organised and patient tutor and I would recommend his services to anyone looking to improve their grades and/or enhance their academic abilities.

Ben has been a breath of fresh air for my son. He has given him valuable advice on exam technique and how to structure his work. We have seen this reflected in grades awarded in ongoing work. Thanks Ben!

I have been most fortunate to call Ben my tutor for the last six months. Having previously attended Winchester College, I thought that the quality of teaching could surely not improve, I was completely mistaken. Despite their so-called expertise in breeding Oxbridge candidates, I now recognize that their understanding of the system is outdated, in comparison, Ben provides an approach grounded in current not past success. Moreover, it must be noted that his EQ is astounding, his ability to understand and help to manage parent-student relationships with regards to studying is something that should not be overlooked. In short, one sentence can be used to describe Ben, ‘theprice is what you pay, yet ultimately the value is what you get’.

My mother would also like to add the following… I started my search for a tutor in September; when no one else was looking.  I’m writing this review at the start of the lockdown and when GCSE and A level exams have just been cancelled  to suggest that you do the same, an outstanding tutor like Ben will not be available for long.

Always patient, communicative and professional, I knew from the first exchange of information that he would be able to help my son in more ways than one.  He has become a mentor to my son and has been able to guide, motivate and challenge him when I haven’t.  If you are lucky enough to have Ben as your child’s tutor you should count yourself extremely lucky. 

We found Ben through a recommendation from a neighbour. He has tutored my year 11 daughter in English, with a view to lifting her GCSE grade into a solid pass from a borderline one.
After just a few weeks, i have been impressed by Ben's approach and ability to engage with my daughter and lift her performance.

Ben is a fantastic tutor, he has been tutoring my son for GCSE English. My son enjoy's lessons with Ben. He has been a lot more motivated and inspired to work harder since attending sessions with him and has increased in confidence. Ben has been great identifying strenghs and weaknesses and helping with how to approach exam questions. Ben is knowlegeable and very supportive, I would have no hesitation in receommending Ben as a tutor.

BEN is an excellent teacher. His lessons are always perfectly structured and my sons very much like his way to explain History. They are both making very good progress and these are their comments… No pressure, patient at all times, very kind & motivating, the tools he is using are very helpful, has the ability to explain interdisciplinary and he whips us into shape. Ben is just amazing!
I give him my highest recommendation, without reservation!

Ben is very punctual and communicative. He is clearly knowledgeable and able to turn his mind to whatever area needs support. I’m grateful for the help he’s been able to give my daughter so far.

Ben is really helping my daughter with her A Level history. He has given her a real boost and she is enjoying the subject. She was struggling with her class teacher and having online tutorials with Ben has really helped. She finds him really approachable and is less stressed and more confident. I would not hesitate in recommending him.

I feel that Ben really help my daughter impove her grades.
Ben helped increase her grades by 2 as promised. Really liked him.

We asked Ben for help when my daughter was struggling with her RS GCSE and working at a Grade 4, near the bottom of her class. In just a few lessons, Ben showed her essay techniques and gave her revision tips that enabled her to achieve a high 6 in her mocks. In fact, after her mocks her teacher at school commented on her good essay structure and then decided to teach Ben’s model to the whole class. We continued with Ben’s lessons and she went on to achieve a Grade 9 in the actual GCSE. She took the RS GCSE a year early and has continued lessons with Ben, focusing on her English Literature, History and Geography GCSEs. Ben is an excellent tutor, he has a way of being clear about what needs to change and at the same time instilling confidence and encouraging her to achieve her best. She always seems much happier after her lessons and comes away feeling much more capable.

I am delighted to provide feedback for Ben who has played a critical role in helping my son achieve his objectives and getting into the university course he desired.

We spoke to Ben as a result of my son getting rather disappointing results at the end of his first year of A levels. This wasn't as a result of a lack of hard work so it was apparent that he would need to find a different way of studying his subjects. Ben and my son quickly developed a rapport and grew to enjoy the challenge of their weekly seminars. I believe that Bens expertise is not simply in subject knowledge but also how to express that knowledge to maximum effect

Any student should be prepared to work hard but I am certain that if they do they will see the benefit. I am confident that my son would not be where he is now without working with Ben

A* quality tutor- knows the exam board specifications inside out and is really helpful with essay exam technique, which is exactly what you need for a levels! Would definitely recommend.

In life , there are some people you meet whose impact totally transforms your life. They make such a profound and invaluable contribution to your destiny that you always see them as among those few who are divinely sent to propel one to a defined and blessed future. Ben worked with Tiri in English, English Literature and History. Does Ben know is stuff , absolutely ! But that is not all . Most importantly , he has a way of making the student look forward to the next lesson. Even on days that I could see that Tiri was tired , she would always say she can't miss a listen with Ben because he has a way for making one learn while at the same time enjoying the fun. She would go into a lesson tired and come out refreshed and all smiles … I am told he has lots of jokes and illustrations that make the student remember the concept very well. By the time Tiri wrote her English , her confidence had significantly grown. She just finished her exams and she is still all smiles and happy . So , looking for an energetic, purposeful and impactful tutor ? Look no further … Ben will not disappoint you.

Ben is excellent tutor and definitely first class teacher! My son worked with him for 6 month with twice an hour lessons each week. His grade went up and he becomes more confident at history assay writing ( Ben made him working hard). We are expecting a good A level results in August. Thank you so much.

I would be surprised if you could find a better tutor than Ben. He is a brilliant and outstanding tutor.
My son was struggling with History A Level and wIth 2 months to the exam and on a D/E I searched for a Tutor online and chose Ben because he stood out from all the others with his glowing reviews. He certainly lived up to our expectations.
Ben was so helpful and even with his busy schedule he managed to fit in 13 lessons for Ollie working through the Easter and May Holidays. From the first lesson to the last, he was top class, taught my Son how to revise and structure his essays and every hour spent with Ben was valuable. As a result , Ollie went into the exams feeling confident and am sure he will now get the grade he needs for University.
Thank you Ben for helping at such short notice and for the excellent communication. We are so happy we found you and we would highly recommend you.

Ben is a great tutor and my 13-year old enjoys his tutorials very much. Ben has been tutoring my son's English and history for more than 6 months. I see good progress in my son's history, while my son has treated English more seriously than before. Ben knows how to communicate with a teenager and makes learning an interesting thing. More importantly, Ben is an interesting and responsible tutor, with whom both my son and us as parents can discuss our concerns to find ways to resolve the concerns. I'm happy to have Ben work with my son together for a long term study plan.

Ben is working well with my daughter retaking English GCSE revision, I can see improvement from her recent test. Ben helps my daughter improve her confidence in achieving her goal.

Ben has made great progress with my son and with encouragement, humour and hard work, he has helped him to see a way to a positive outcome in the summer. He has clear expectations and boundaries and knows a 17/18 year old's mind really well. Brilliant so far.

Very able, organised and supportive tutor. No examinations yet but all looking very positive.

Ben is a very knowledgeable and professional tutor. He is always on hand to answer any parental questions and makes you feel very supported. My son has on had him for a few weeks now for A level Law, Government and Politics and Philosophy and Ethics but I have great confidence in his ability to help my son achieve top results.

My daughter is still working with Ben on her Geography A level, however, he has already helped her enourmously with study skills and confidence relating to a retake of her year 1 mock.

My daughter very much enjoys working with Ben and will continue to do so through out this academic year.

Ben is honest in his assessment of areas of weakness and practical in his approach to tackling the problems. At the same time he is very supportive, understanding and encouraging. I can't fault him.

Excellent tutor, exceeded expectations. The assistance in exam technique went beyond the one subject.

Ben seems extremely enthusiastic and on the ball. He has already identified areas of weakness and set about improving them. His targets are realistic and ambitious.
Very happy so far, thank you.

Ben is a fantastic tutor. He has been helping my son with his revision and exam techniques for A'level . He has motivated and inspired my son to work harder and with more enthusiasm! He has helped my son identify strong and weak areas; and to structure his essays and to organize his revision time. Ben is a great communicator and always replies promptly to all messages. I am optimistic that he will help my son to achieve high grades in A'levels and I would definitely recommend him.

I've had Ben as a tutor for RS since January. His teaching and tutoring have not only boosted my grade from an E to a B but he has also helped to boost my confidence with the subject overall. I recommend him highly to anyone looking for a religious studies tutor.

Ben has been a fantastic tutor. My Son was very apprehensive of being tutored but instantly felt at ease on day 1. Ben has a great approach and can really relate to teenagers he has greatly improved my Sons grades. I would totally recommend Ben to anyone looking for a tutor. Huge thanks

Ben has been helping my Son, James with his revision and exam techniques for A level Geography. He has vey quickly identified where James requires the most assistance and is helping James to become more confident too. Ben has been very flexible with sessions and always replies promptly to any messages I have sent to him. I am optimistic that he will help James to achieve the grade he needs for his chosen university course and I would definitely recommend him.

Excellent at breaking down and presenting complex methodology as to how to approach A-level exam questions in a way that is very simple to understand.

Ben is also very devoted to helping his students and is usually always willing to give out of hours advice via email to those in trouble with a task. During his lessons one might often encounter many of his eclectic **Web Address Removed** which have been skilfully turned into an analogy relevant to helping explain the work at hand.

Would thoroughly recommend!

Ben has been tutoring my 17year old son with A level History for about 2 months now.
He has really helped with essay techniques as well as knowledge and my son really enjoys his sessions with him.
Ben has some really useful advice and gives me as a parent a lot of feedback.
I cannot recommend Ben highly enough.

Very impressive tutor. Worth the slightly higher fees.

Ben is a friendly and supportive tutor, who builds good rapport with his tutees.
He has helped my son in Geography with exam technique, in particular in understanding and interpreting questions, and answering them in a way that can help achieve the best marks.

The sessions have started. Ben is very prompt and efficient.

My daughter is gaining confidence in her history A level essay writing due to Ben's tuition. She says that she is learning about techniques that have never been broached at school. I find him to be clear and direct when I have discussed her progress with him.

Ben is a skilled and reliable tutor. He has a very good manner with students plus is thorough and creative with lesson content. He can assess students from various standpoints as my student had EAL needs as well as subject (geography) needs. This was invaluable in advising the family how to proceed regards achieveing good grades at GCSE.

I asked Ben if he could check my son's History A Level extended essay which was due to be handed in. He was very accommodating and even though he was busy with other students, he fitted us in as an emergency case! He showed my son how to structure an extended essay, and supported him through the mammoth task of re-writing in a very short timescale. I would recommend him to anyone.

Ben is an excellent tutor. After only a few online sessions with him, my daughter's confidence returned and she was top of the class having been floundering in the middle. We are very grateful for his input and can recommend him unreservedly.

Ben is always at the ready to help, despite being busy. He is focussed, engages 100% with his tutee and is extremely well-informed on syllabuses and exam board expectations. He is excellent at boosting confidence because he provides structure, meaning and clarity to the job in hand. Ben is also very good at advising how to prepare for revision. A first rate tutor.

Ben is very helpful with History and English A Level work, both content and coursework! Thank you!

Geography A-level E to C
I had Ben as a tutor for the whole of my A2 year in College and he made a massive difference to my grades in Geography. In GCSE I was only a few marks shy of an A* so naturally I picked it as one of my 4 AS year subjects. I only managed an E at AS, but I did worse in AS maths so I had to keep Geography for the next year. Within my second college year Ben got my grade up to a middle C, which was exactly what he and I had predicted for myself at the start of his sessions. E to C may not sound like much but the jump from AS to A2 is almost as big of a jump from GCSE's to AS.
I could not be happier with Ben's tutoring as I got into my first choice uni. He is also a very personable character and it would be difficult to find someone he can't get along with; in my opinion this is great as it meant I never dreaded a session with him, even if I knew it was going to be 90 minutes of exam practice.

Ben has been helping our son with GCSE English & History. Our son really enjoys the lessons and Ben gives really good feedback on his progress. Would highly recommend!

Ben is an excellent tutor. My son is more confident in his english literature since he started tutoring with Ben. His grades are improving as well. Thank you Ben.

Ben has been a great find! He is enabling our son to understand what is needed and then to do it! He sets out clearly his expectations for the period ahead and is equipping our son to raise his game. After 3 sessions our son is much more confident.that he will be able to achieve a decent grade thanks to Ben's help…

Ben has been helping our daughter with Pre-U History and we are very pleased with her progress so far. As well as content, Ben also provides really useful advice on planning and essay skills. He is friendly and approachable and our daughter finds the online tutoring method works very well. We would recommend Ben highly as a tutor.

Has been working with my daughter on A Level History and Politics - she has found the lessons very useful. Would highly recommend!

Ben has been fantastic to my son with his GCSE work so far. He’s friendly, approachable and supportive. He’s very experienced and I believe he can provide supports to any types of students. My son now enjoy his work with skills he’s leant from Ben. I hope this will improve his grade in his exam. I would highly recommend Ben.

Ben is a very motivational and engaging tutor. He is an excellent communicator who relates really well with my son. Ben is able to impart invaluable knowledge because he has gone through the process of studying exams himself.

Ben provided a great help to my son in terms of essay technique, as well as building his confidence significantly before his exams. We were pleased with the progress Ben has helped him to make.

Excellent grasp on exam techniques. Great at getting his point across. Fast response time.

Sam and I cannot speak highly enough of Ben! He has been absolutely brilliant and Sam thinks of him as a 'life coach' as well as a fab tutor :)
He has stepped in at the last minute to help Sam with her Geography A level and gone out of his way to make sure that she has been as prepared as possible for her exams, which were last week!
Thank you so much Ben
With very best wishes
Sarah and Sam

Ben is a great tutor. He has helped my understand of the subject and I have become more confident in my answers. He explains things clearly and in a way that I'll remember them. Thank you, Ben!

Ben is an absolutely excellent tutor - after 2 lessons my essays already improved from a B to an A, and kept improving throughout the 2 months he tutored me for. He is quick to mark any essay I send him, and looking back at my exam, I cannot imagine what I would've done without him - I would recommend him to anyone.

Ben is an amiable, knowledgeable and organised tutor who has engaged and focused my son in his AS History preparation. Like many a teenager, initially he wasn't overly enamoured when I suggested a tutor to help structure his work, but he has grown in both confidence and competence and enjoys the session more then he thought he would (and that he'd admit!) My son respects Ben because he is 'clearly a smart guy' and challenges him academically. I wasn't sure how online tutoring would work, but for our son, it has proved to add value quickly.

Ben thankfully jumped in at very short notice to rescue my son during Coursework preparation for History A-Level. Having filtered through dozens of tutors, I could instinctively tell that Ben was the right choice - my expectations were exceeded. Working within the exam board's rules, Ben carefully steered my son towards writing a vastly improved final version for which we are very grateful. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone.

Ben was very welcoming on my first visit. He was able to explain and point out what I needed to do to improve my grades.
He used good examples that I could relate to and understand.
I would defiantly recommend Ben to anyone to needs extra support.

Ben has proved himself to be a focused and engaging tutor. My son was not overly keen on the prospect of having a tutor for his Government and Politics course. Ben quickly demonstrated the value he could add to my son's ongoing course work, giving my son increased confidence in the subject matter and in exam technique.

We are delighted with Ben's tutoring in particular with exam and essay technique, which schools are weaker at providing. He was also invaluable in his help with all aspects of the university application process. He is also very organised which makes life easier and would highly recommend him.

Our daughter lacked confidence at GCSE English and with large class sizes she was struggling to make progress.

Ben has provided excellent tuition - our daughter says: "He's helped me to understand how to answer questions in the manner an examiner is expecting, improved my confidence and given me many techniques for completing my homework assignments".

As such I have no hesitation in recommending Ben as an English tutor.

My son is far more confident since he started online tuition with Ben who is both friendly and motivational. He is receiving tuition for History and Politics and we are hopeful for good results in the Summer of 2017. I will update this feedback in August when we have received his results.

Ben is currently helping my son prepare for his History and Politics A Levels next year. He is organised, prompt and an excellent communicator. He is an inspiring and fun tutor whom my son is enjoying studying with.

My daughter started lessons with Ben in late October. We have found him very helpful especially for essay structure and technique. He is very dedicated, knowledgeable, professional.

Ben befriends your child to boost their confidence and draws out the best skills they have. He spots the weaknesses that your child have and helps in suitable direction.
He is an excellent interview teacher as well.
Very well recommended!

Our daughter is a university student and needed some last minute support with an essay to meet a deadline. Ben was extremely responsive and stepped in at very short notice. He helped with the structure and approach which did the job! Thanks Ben.

Ben was able to instantly recognise what I wanted help with and gave me so much useful information in the first lesson. These were unique tips and tricks that I would have never heard of it weren't for Ben. A must with tuition!

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Ben . Ben has been the most extraordinary tutor to our daughter, who is about to sit iGCSE's. Ben has literally taught her how to study, how to extract relevant information, to condense and distil the important bits, and how to gain the marks. Our daughter enjoys her time with Ben; he manages to translate class lessons into clear and memorable packages of information and she feels every moment learning with Ben is absolutely worth it. Not a bad validation coming from a 16 year old. We simply could not recommend Ben more highly. He takes his job incredibly seriously, he is professional at all times and knows exactly what it takes to boost confidence and achieve the marks.

My son has been studying A-level geography with Ben for over a year. Ben has been excellent always helping my son to achieve the grade he wished for. I think Ben knows how to teach young person really well.
Communication and teaching skills are super so my son gets what he hopes from the tutor.
Ben also supported my son to prepare personal statement for UCAS application. Ben is a brilliant tutor. It was a good luck for us to find him last year!

Fantastic tutor. Really making a huge difference to my homeschooled son. Understanding, yet firm. Top academic credentials. 100% reliable. Excellent communications. Thank you

All going well -India feels more confident

Ben is really good teacher. He is able to find right approach to any students and work through exactly what they need. If you want your child to enjoy their lessons and get a good knowledge boost, Ben is really a person with whom they can get both. I would highly recommend him

Even though its only been a month, my son Tom is very positive about his Skype tutorials. Ben has already identified weaknesses in Toms work from last year.
We are very hopeful for a better outcome this year with Bens help.

Ben has been tutoring my son on-line since September. We are both very pleased with his teaching methods. He has provided excellent support and advice.

I would definitely recommend him.

My son has skype lessons with Ben and finds them very useful. Ben is good at motivating him and makes the sessions interesting and relevant. I would definitely recommend him.

This is my initial feedback on Ben . So far Ben has led about 5 lessons with my son. I’ll leave more feedback at the end of the school year.

However, I can already say with confidence that we’re really pleased to have found Ben! He’s professional in his comms with us, is very structured in his teaching style, is trustworthy, and a friendly chap. He immediately put us as ease with arrangements and ground rules, and quickly found common interests with our son, establishing a positive working relationship from the start. He quickly understood my son’s needs and requirements (i.e. that the biggest issue isn’t the technical knowledge, but revision and exam techniques and how to apply the knowledge).

As a parent, I’m happy with the arrangements and thankful we’ve contracted Ben to help my son this year (and regret not having done it last year!).

The best judge of Ben is probably my son, who says his confidence in the subject has been restored and is learning stuff he didn’t previously understand. That’s what we want. And Ben’s a big part of that. Thank you Ben !

My son has found Ben an excellent tutor. He seems to have a very practical approach & my son has found him extremely useful in focussing on critical matters. Ben has also built a good rapport with my son, communicates well with him & is not adverse to some honest, straight talking when required. Has also been very helpful in developing my son's approach to his Oxbridge application.

Ben recently started tutoring my son for GCSEs ,
Ben really focuses quickly on the needs of his student and has a very logical and systematic teaching approach. His lessons are highly contextual and enjoyable. I wound recommend Ben without hesitation.

Ben is very professional, organised and clear. My son has only had two sessions with him so far but has found them very helpful in supporting his Oxbridge application

Ben is very good. He has a very focussed and practical approach to exam technique. My son enjoys lessons with him (as far as it is possible to enjoy extra lessons!) and believes working with Ben is having a real impact. Ben also responds to emails very quickly which is helpful for me.

Ben is a committed highly competent tutor and makes the lessons enjoyable with his personality.
A professional safe pair of hands.

Ben has been an excellent tutor for my son and seems to have been able to communicate an approach that he had not learned or understood before. I think Ben probably doesn't pull his punches and he is very confident in his abilities to make a difference - but it seems rightly so! His no nonsense approach was just what was needed at the 11th hour before the exams.

Couldn't recommend a better tutor for Geography - helpful, straightforward, and knows how to get marks.

Good tutoring, clear and entertaining teaching methods! I had a lot of fun learning politics and finally found it enjoyable. Would recommend Ben to anyone!!

Ben met our brief perfectly. He gave my daughter succinct, targeted feedback on both her history and government and politics AS level essay writing, he taught her how structure her answers, and use the knowledge she had, more effectively. Ben's input fine tuned her exam technique and she went into her exams with much more confidence. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ben and we will continue to use him next year for the second A level year.

Ben is a great tutor. He has given our daughter so much more confidence and has really helped her to understand just what the GCSE papers are asking of her. She has gone into her exams happy and confident - we couldn't ask for more. Thank you Ben.

Ben helped me with a crisis I had with my work. He was very efficient, responded within minutes to my queries and gave me honest, clear advice and feedback for my work. Would highly recommend.

Ben is a very skilled tutor. My daughter struggled with her essay writing and found it difficult to put a coherent analysis down on paper. Ben analysed her problems quickly and broke down the task of writing a history essay into types of essay questions, essay plans, paragraph writing, linking back to the question and providing a coherent analysis. Her essay writing technique has improved tremendously and so has her marks. He doesn't spoon feed her but guides her to work it out for herself, highlighting when she misses the mark.

Ben is an excellent tutor who has been particularly helpful in improving my essay structure. He can also explain difficult ideas by drawing on a wide range of vibrant examples from current affairs as well as his private life and was keen to accommodate my needs when I mentioned a subject he was not so familiar with.

Ben has built an excellent relationship with my son. He is clearly very knowledgeable and understands the strategies that can be employed to maximise exam success. He has structured each session in such a way as to build the necessary skills and accompanying confidence required to utilise these independently. A very successful start.

Ben is a good tutor. He has an honest, down to earth approach to teaching. Speaks his mind which is refreshing and when using a tutor you don't want it sugar coated. Takes things back to basics and builds confidence slowly. Daughter wasn't confident but seen a marked improvement, she may even end up liking English. Fingers crossed for the exam. Would recommend to others.

Ben has helped my daughter enormously in understanding where she was going wrong with her History A Level essay writing technique. His tuition is concise, well structured and his explanations are easy to comprehend. Although he teaches at a relatively fast pace, he is very patient and extremely willing to help. We are very glad that we found him! As a result of Ben's tuition, my daughter has gained confidence in her essay writing - not just in History, but across all her subjects and feels well set-up for university.

Excellent support and advice on the exam requirements and specific to what was needed for the A2 exam. Wish we had contacted him earlier

If it was possible I would give Ben 10/10 ev**Telephone Number Removed** Ben is very passionate about his teaching and he is the perfect tutor for History from my experience. Not only has Ben supported me with History he has also supported me regarding any other issues I have had.

He is an amazing tutor who is one of a kind, who puts in more work and effort than any other tutor I have had, I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Ben is brilliant. I suffer with exam anxiety and he has done everything possible to help me with this. He is very understanding and makes sure to check that the material we cover is exactly what I need/want to be doing. I would recommend him very highly.

Excellent tutor. Super punctual and organised! Ben offered great help with my History coursework despite that it was a last-minute request.

Thanks so much, Ben.

We are so pleased that we have found Ben to tutor our daughter with her A Level History. Only a month in and already she is feeling much more confident regarding her understanding and progress. This is down to Ben's wealth of experience. He understands the importance of establishing a strong rapport with his students. His lessons are always very well structured and he has worked very hard to accommodate all of our requests. We can not recommend him enough.

Ben is an amazing teacher. He is extremely professional but uses relatively informal/modern teaching methods that motivates children. My son thoroughly enjoyed the lessons with him and I saw an improvement in my son's confidence in essay writing as a result of the lessons. Ben understands children and knows how to teach in a relaxed manner. I would recommend him as a personal tutor.

My daughter has only had a few lessons but very happy so far. She is actually quite happy to go to the extra lessons which is always a good sign and Ben has already identified areas of improvement and given her some examination technique tips. I feel confident he will be able to make a difference to her confidence and ultimately exam results !

First rate tutoring - very accommodating and my son is finding it very helpful.

Amazing breadth of knowledge across a number of subjects - precise targeted advice on how to improve grades and great support and information about application to top Universities. We are delighted we have found Ben!!

I was very pleased to have found Ben. He is flexible, punctual and easy to contact. My daughter is extremely pleased with his tutoring, he has given her confidence in her work and is very knowledgeable in his field. I would recommend him for sure.

So far i am very pleased on how the lessons are going. Before Ben's lessons i was not feeling confident in History at all, but he really helped me by explaining the key concepts and evaluating different scenarios. Now i feel much more secure at my topics. For sure i will continue my lessons with Ben.

Ben has been very helpful to my 15-year-old son with his history class. My son now has a much stronger understanding of the subject and completes large amounts of homework during his lessons with Ben. Ben understands that kids often don't want to be tutored so he makes the lessons engaging while encouraging independence and good work habits.

Ive recently started taking lessons from Ben, who is my only history instructor. He is great at teaching exam techniques and at giving revision tips, which have helped me gain alot more confidence for my exams. His humour also makes classes more enjoyable

Called upon Ben after reading feedback from previous clients for my 17yr old son, who is doing a retake in GCSE English Language. Due to time restrictions he had full on teaching over 2 days that Ben managed to squeeze him in… My son has come away feeling much more confident with obtaining the grade he needs and all I can say is a big thank you ( fingers crossed) as he is not a studious student but Ben managed to get him to knuckle down and go forwards… Would definitely recommend

Ben has been brilliant, he knows exactly what needs doing and gets on with it. I am super busy so it is really nice to have someone else take the pressure off. I would recommend Bens enthusiastic and helpful approach.

Provides good constructive feedback
Demonstrates good subject knowledge in both English and Geography
Very personable
Very structured in teaching methods

Has shown a level of flexibility in supporting sessions

Ben's sessions in English Language have been excellent. My son is having to resit his English Language GCSE paper in November and Ben's sessions have been invaluable to focus my sons attention on what he needs to do differently. They are focusing on past exams papers and their mark schemes as well as what it is that examiners are looking for in order to get the marks needed, and practicing each question and the relevant literally techniques in turn . Sessions are fun but focused and my son enjoys going because Ben can relate to what he is doing at college and the kinds of things 16 years old like. Ben also gives memorable examples of what needs to be done in order to help my son remember in the exam situation. I am really pleased with how sessions are progressing and would recommend Ben to others in a similar situation.

Quick, professional and very helpful.

My daughter has had one lesson so far: as she got into the car to come home the first thing she said was thank you for finding Ben. He is very personable, obviously highly intelligent and gave my daughter a huge boost of confidence, which had been knocked sideways. She is looking forward to next lesson to build on initial advice he has given. A very positive start.

Our son has had one 2 hour English session and it has already made a demonstrable difference. Ben is exactly what our son needed and we would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

I've been extremely impressed with Ben right from the first contact. Ben is thoroughly professional and really understood what my son needed straight away. Ollie is genuinely excited about being taught by Ben and already his confidence is increasing - after taking a very hard knock in not getting the GCSE grades he wanted.

We have only had two sessions so far, but they have gone really well. Ben is dynamic and extremely personable. He achieved an instant rapport with my son and if he follows Ben's guidance I have no doubt he will improve significantly. As a parent I have been very impressed with Ben's willingness to feedback and his frank debrief after the initial session. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ben.

My daughter has been for 3 sessions with Ben and so far all is going well. She is enjoying the lessons and is feeling more confident. He seems to understand her learning needs and is teaching her in a way that she understands.

I am very pleased to have chosen Ben as my daughters tutor.
With only having two sessions my daughter has settled and is enjoying her tutoring

I have been working with Ben only for a week, but, so far, he had proven to be, an excellent tutor, who is able to address the problems, that I had with my essays, very quickly, and had been able to offer me very precise advice on my exam technique, that other tutors and teachers had not given to me.

Ben has been extremely helpful, not just helping me with the coursework that i requested help with, but also providing emotional support to make sure i am not overwhelmed by the stresses of my exams. He has also accommodated the very short time period i had to complete the work. I am confident that he will be able to help me achieve the grades i desire and would recommend him not only for his ability as a tutor to help me get these grades, but also the extra support he provides beyond that

Ben was very informative and provided my daughter with a lot of useful advice. He is both historically knowledgeable and well-versed in exam technique.

Ben is an excellent tutor who enjoys his work and endeavors to ensure that his pupils enjoy his sessions equally. As well as making his classes interesting and engaging, Ben provides exam technique and focuses on any weaknesses in his pupils. I would happily recommend Ben as a tutor to any prospective students.

Ben quickly got to the bottom of my daughters difficulties and has been able to help her enormously. My daughter found him knowledgeable, witty and extremely helpful. She embarks on on her exams with much improved essay writing skills and confidence.

Ben certainly knows the exam system and has been quick to identify areas of weakness to concentrate on. He has been doing 2 hr sessions as he drives to us, which has made my life easier! A 2 hr session may be too long for younger children but worked well for us. He also comes on a sunday which is better than Tutor at the end of a tiring day at school. Our daughter (A2 and AS resit) has found his sessions useful, especially creating plans for past papers.

We have been very impressed with Ben's approach to our daughter's tuition, swiftly isolating where her areas of weakness were and setting out a clear and comprehensive programme of study to improve her technique. Our daughter's confidence and approach have increased dramatically and Ben is now referred to as 'the Godsend'.

Ben has been tremendously helpful with our son. The best compliment I can give him is… my son said that Ben has worked him extremely hard but he has also been the best tutor he has ever had, fun and engaging. Ben has a tremendous ability to identify needs, develop a plan and then execute. I would highly recommend him.

Ben has done a great job revitalizing my daughter's confidence and giving her direction on how to rationalize revision and structure essays. He has also given me some good advice on communicating with her college in order to get more appropriate support from the staff there - many thanks

Ben is brilliant, he is achieving things with my son that his school has failed in, and the other great thing is my sons confidence in this subject has improved markedly.
I would recommend Ben to anyone needing help with English, especially if your child has special needs, as mine does.
Big thanks to Ben

Ben is very personable. He has created a great rapport with my son which is an essential starting point for teaching.
Ben knows his subject matter hence trust in how he conducts his lessons.
Sticks to dates and times.
Highly recommended.
