I have been studying with Ben for quite a long time now. I think he is an excellent tutor. He explains concepts with enthusiasm and is knowledgeable in many fields. I enjoy having lessons with him and love his genial tone and interesting explanations. I have learnt a lot with Ben. - Will

Very kind , patient and knowledgeable tutor .
From Sophie
I am so pleased we found Ben, he is a fantastic tutor who I highly recommend.
Ben is kind, knowledgeable and humorous. He took the time to get to know my daughter and absolutely understood her from their first meeting. Ben is encouraging and gives praise which is why I believe my daughter looked forward to her lessons and was always motivated to do any homework set.
Ben gave her the confidence and knowledge to succeed and achieve a great result in her English GCSE exams, which saw her improve by 3 grade boundaries.
I also found him to be reliable, flexible and a pleasure to communicate with! Thank you Ben.
Thank you very much for these comments, Sophie. Ben

Ben worked a sizable miracle with my son. He was completely flexible, accommodating an active boy with lots of other interests and never making the sessions feel like a chore. He managed to help us achieve a grade a good deal better than we'd hoped.
This student had serious dyslexic problems but he worked hard and we secured a very solid pass for him at GCSE Englsh Language. This enabled him to progress to the school of his choice for A levels. One of many happy outcomes.
From Anne
Mr has been very helpful so far. The communication between him and my son and myself has been productive, friendly and above all motivating. He has only just started tutoring my son Nils who is looking forward to re-sitting his A-level exam, confident that Edmund has the right guiding tools to help him get as high a grade as he can achieve. We are grateful to have found Mr !
Many thanks for this, Anne.
From Lucy
Ben was kind and helpful. We only ended up using him for one session because the travel arrangements were not convenient, and the proposal to continue with Skyoe was found not to be workable, but he sent feedback and advice after the one session that was very useful.
Thank you, Lucy.
From Debbie
Still early days but Ben has an unassuming way of encouraging Josh to think. Bodes well for the future.
From Jo
Ben is a very patient tutor my son has really taken to him. The lessons are fun and I can see an improvement already. Using Ben would be a good decision for anyone thinking of getting a tutor.
From Tom
Ben was a good help; solid knowledge, and prompt.
Thoroughly recommended!
From Win
Ben is not only patience and enthusiastic teacher but also very helpful, reliable and professional. My daughter enjoys every lesson with Ben and her written and comprehension in English is tremendously improving within a short time. Excellent tutor. Thank you.
From Clare
Ben is an absolutely wonderful tutor who is personable, friendly and fun. He has a lovely engaging way with my daughter who really enjoys working with him, and an unpatronizing and respectful manner which I would think most children would respond favourably to. I also feel that he has a rich knowledge of the subject and an expansive view and love of it that comes through his teaching. 10/10 Everyone should have a "Ben" to teach them.
From Kerry
Brilliant tutor, highly recomended!!
From Mona
Mr has explained and analysed GCSE novel 'of Mice and Men' on two online lessons. He is adept and knowledgeable.
From Julie
Ben has helped my son enormously. He has given him the confidence and the tools to be able to apply himself more in class at school. My son had the ability there he just needed Ben to bring it out. Ben has a lovely manner and a great approach to teaching with some humour thrown in! I would highly recommend him.
Thanks for that, Julie!
From Annsbel
Ben is really good. He knows his stuff and has a lot of patience.

From Harriet
Ben has been extremely helpful,providing plenty of structured work, which focuses on my weakest areas. He is well organised and very approachable. His sessions are both informative and enjoyable.
From Ceri
Ben has been a great help to my son in preparation for his GCSEs this summer. He is organised and structured in his lessons, with plenty of enthusiasm about his subject. My son appears to have a greater understanding and appreciation of english language and the exam requirements, and english literature too; we look forward to good results in the summer exams.
In August 2012 Ceri emailed me:
" We have just returned from holiday to [… her son's] results and thought you would like to know that he achieved an A in English Literature and a B in English Language. He is really pleased with these results and will now start the sixth form college next week to begin A Level studies. Thank you for all the help and support you gave him during your lessons together."
