I met Ben a year and a half ago and I couldn’t be happier! I’ve had quite a few English teachers over the years and Ben is by far one the very best. He’s very organised and professional. His classes are fun, time really flies while I’m learning! He’s helping me build up the confidence and skills I need to sit the C2 exam. Choosing a teacher for C2 level is a big deal and I believe I made the best decision.

Ben is not only a wonderful English teacher with a lot of experience but also a person that you can trust with your problems since he tries to do everything for his students. He is exceptionally gifted at making you feel comfortable and keeping a positive atmosphere in his classes. It is without reservation that I recommend him as a teacher. Moreover, I can proudly say that having him as a teacher for a year has been one of the most terrific experiences in my life.

Ben prepared me for my C2 exam. Of course, I passed the exam, but the best feeling was realising that I was craving more English. Ben is able to fit in a single class a whole grammar point, a game that even teenagers are interested in and a talk about current affairs. All of the above without losing the focus on teaching real-world English and not feeling overwhelmed at all at the end of the class. In fact, I would find myself impatiently waiting for the next lesson.

Not every school is like that, and I recognise the value of having another teacher to turn to for professional support, teaching ideas, or simply a friendly chat.
