Hi, I’m Ben, a native English teacher from Washington, D.C. with over 6 years of experience teaching students of all ages, both online and in person.
I now live in Mexico and speak fluent Spanish, so I understand the challenges Spanish speakers face when learning English.
Over the last four years, I've dedicated myself to teaching English to Spanish-speakers as an English Professor at a public university in Oaxaca, Mexico, the owner of my own in-person ESL school in my community, and as a private online tutor.
When I'm not teaching English, I teach yoga, write about mindset & motivation, and run in the mountains with my dog, Steven.Me as a Teacher
I adapt every lesson to your goals and level.
My approach is supportive and practical—I’ll push you to improve while making sure you feel comfortable speaking. My lessons & teaching style
