BAFTA Nominated Acting & Drama Coach Acting teacher at London - Ben

Benjamin joined a team of tutors I'd put together to work full-time with a home-schooled student leading up to his GCSEs. Every other tutor I'd worked with for at least 4 years so Ben was the person I knew least well. To say I was happy with his performance would be an understatement. He was punctual, professional and made learning fun. Not only did the student enjoy his lessons but they covered a vast majority of the content very quickly. This kid has had a lot of tutoring in the past and knows the difference between someone who knows how to teach and someone who doesn't. He loved Ben so much that he even considered continuing this subject for A-level.

I'm happy to recommend him and thankful that he helped this student fall in love with a subject he'd not enjoyed before.

Ben tutored me in preparation for drama school auditions. I have never had anyone better. He was always polite and professional and very easy going. What comes naturally to Ben is honesty, which in an industry so tough, is critical. He always told me when I was wrong and more importantly, showed me an alternative way of going about the task that might help. He was also never afraid to get involved himself, which, if you are nervous, is fantastic. He has a very calming nature that instantly you feel relaxed, which is important because a relaxed atmosphere is one where you can explore and achieve more than you expected. He was also happy to work around times that suited me and for however long I needed. He was a library for monologues and wonderful speeches and would always pick the right ones for me, ones I enjoyed doing (even Shakespeare!), as well as giving me a challenge I think most importantly his lessons were always fun, I never dreaded a single one!

Ben taught me for a 6 months and was one of the leading reasons that I want to be an actor. Ben set time aside to tutor me and provide me with ideas and a positive feedback. He also directed and guided me and some of my fellow pupils in a production of improbable fiction which was the best and most enjoyable show I have ever done. He manages to make work, no matter how difficult, entertaining and productive. He is excellent at making student self motivated to work.

Benjamin O'Mahony is a highly passionate, vivacious and approachable tutor whose energy and enthusiasm for the subject creates an atmosphere in which you feel comfortable to explore and experiment-something essential in actor training.
His passion and eloquence as a working actor in the industry inspires students, and his highly motivated and friendly approach in teaching creates exciting, stimulating and challenging tutor sessions.
