About Benedict
Hi there, I'm Benedict. I have a wide range of interests, but my main passions are to do with the English Language and Drama. I graduated in 2012 from the University of Birmingham with a 2.1 in Drama & Theatre Arts.
Since then I have worked consistently as an Actor, Voice Coach and English tutor. As an English tutor I have experience working with a huge range of learners from all backgrounds. I tutor GCSE English Literature, and have helped students gain As and Bs in exams and essays that they used to dread.
As an English as a Foreign Languge (EFL) tutor I have worked with clients from all over the world, assessing their needs, background factors and learning styles to create fun, dynamic and engaging lessons. I have over two years experience teaching EFL at reputable language schools across London, so I bring a lot to my clients.
As a Voice Coach, I specialise in Accent Softening & Pronunciation workshops. I have worked with actors & professionals from all backgrounds and countries who are looking to work on their accent. I have helped clients gain work, successfully deliver presentations and speeches, and become more confident in themselves.
I'm very patient, friendly and easy-going, and I'm only happy when I've done my job properly!

Perfect! the perfect coach
i was looking for a coach to help me prepare for my audition and Benedict was the perfect match.
Not only did he give constructive feedback and great advice, he also, based on the requirements of the auditions and my level of experience in acting and my preference, proposed well thought ideas for monologues.
I couldn't have wished better support for this audition, which I passed and i will definitely work with him on other projects.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I highly recommend Benedict Hastings as a candidate for the position of a Voice Coach. I have had the pleasure of working with him for more than a year and a half; on and off at the beginning, but regularly during the past 4 months. He is a driven, well organized person, who is as keen on improving my voice skills (and my accent!) as much as I am!
I come from Bulgaria where we use our voice in a different way while speaking. He has never refused to help me in any possible way. At the beginning, we could only do Skype sessions, and he was happy to try that out. Then, we both agreed that I should move to the UK in order to improve my skills properly. And when I knew I was able to do that a few months ago, I could experience a way better live teaching with him.
During the past 4 months, we’ve been meeting more often, sometimes a few times a week, and he has successfully helped me on my way to achieving my goal, which is to get into a drama school in London. Well, I have not been offered a place yet, but I have managed to go through rounds 1 and 2 in a few schools. I am yet about to do third rounds. Which pretty much means his part of the job is done. The rest will depend on me.
Apart from Ben’s ability to embrace my goals, he is amazing and quick in spotting the speech and voice problems I am coming to lessons with. When he ‘unlocks’ a new one, the next time he is prepared with specific exercises that will help me seamlessly overcome the given problem.
To conclude, I dare say that it is thanks to Ben that now I finally feel I am in control of my voice and diaphragm (the latter is not obligatory to be used when speaking in Bulgarian, Italian, or French!).
Last but not least, having lessons with Ben is a positive and fun experience. We are working with smiles on our faces. That’s why I recommend him to you without reservation.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at +447784713170, +359886289439, or martin.g.ganchev@gmail.com should you have further questions. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Martin GanchevBenedict is extremely knowledgeable, a great communicator and very easy to talk to. He has encouraged my son to challenge himself and to think ideas through. Enjoyable lessons which helped understanding of the material studied and furthered ability to write the essay which was what had been requested.
