About Benjamin
Hi, I'm a dedicated, rigorous and friendly tutor with a degree in English from the University of Cambridge and 10 years of extensive experience of teaching. After leaving university, I trained as an actor at LAMDA, one of the UK's leading drama schools, and continue to work as a professional actor. I have performed at the Royal Shakespeare Company and Shakespeare's Globe (as well as in the west end and on tour throughout the UK) and have appeared on both television and film.
I'm especially passionate about English literature. As well as guiding you through the curriculum, I want to encourage you to explore your own enthusiasm and intellectual curiosity for the subject. I enjoy tutoring this subject at all levels - whether it be preparing a student for their GCSE, for A Level, or for the Oxbridge admissions process.
In addition, I have extensive experience of preparing younger students for 11+ entrance exams, tutoring them in English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Finally, as professional actor, I am well positioned to offer Drama tuition, as well as more general coaching for public speaking - whilst working with the RSC, I also led workshops as an educational practitioner, exploring Shakespeare's plays with children across the UK between the ages of 6-15.
I make a point of keeping up to date with the relevant examination board rubric in order to ensure that sessions are geared towards obtaining the best results on the day.
As an actor and musician, I have a deep affection for the arts in general and enjoy nothing more than sharing this with others. My hobbies include playing the guitar, going to the cinema/theatre, watching cricket, and collecting LPs. Please do contact me if you'd like to discuss anything - I look forward to hearing from you!
PLEASE NOTE: Lesson times listed are intended as a rough guide - please do contact me if you don't see your desired time-slot, and I will always try to be accommodating if I can.

I firmly believe that all pupils can excel in Maths - the key to my approach is that I spend focused time exploring their understanding of the processes and logic of the subject, so that they are able to fully understand the underlying functions of mathematics. This arms them with understanding that they can apply to any mathematical problem, even if it initially seems unfamiliar to them.

Ben tutored my 12 year old son in Maths from Sept 2017 until January 2020. He also did a few English comprehension sessions in December 2019 and January 2020. Ben was punctual, reliable and often went the extra mile. He was unfailingly encouraging, patient and professional. Ben did wonders for my son's confidence and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.
Ben tutored my oldest son in Maths for about 7-8 months in year 6. My son has mild learning difficulties and finds maths particularly challenging, so Ben's brief was to help him to consolidate his learning and prepare for tests.
My son found Ben to be a sympathetic and effective tutor. Ben explained tricky subjects in a way that worked for him and he got his highest ever score on a maths assessment during his time working with Ben. We were sad to end the tutoring when Ben needed to make a logistical change to his schedule and was no longer able to come to us. I would recommend him as an effective and professional tutor.Ben tutored my son in English in preparation for 13+ London day school entrance exams. William started the sessions lacking in confidence and Ben worked on the basics then built on those foundations to build up his confidence. William enjoyed the sessions and found Ben very approachable. Ben was reliable and a pleasure to deal with.
Ben came to tutor our youngest daughter to pass the 11+ for Kent and also to support with getting into our more local selective schools. He was extremely organised and knew our daughter's needs well, ensuring that what was covered filled the gaps and made her feel confident. Our daughter had a great relationship with him and his calm and focused approach, ensured that she gained in confidence and felt ready to tackle those hard questions.
I would recommend Ben highly.Ben completely turned things around for our son who had had his confidence badly knocked by a very disappointing grade in his English Lit A level English. He immediately clicked with Ben who inspired him to rediscover his love of English literature and to work hard and achieve an A* in his retake and a place at his univerisity of choice to read English. Ben is entirely reliable and was always on time for his sessions. He worked hard for the full 2 hours he was here and kept our son interested and engaged for the whole time. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for an extremely capable and inspiring tutor.
Ben came to tutor our son for his English Literature and English Language GCSE's. He was extremely good at inspiring and motivating Josh. Always pleasant, punctual and polite. Josh went on to get A in both exams. I would thoroughly recommend Ben he's knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
