About Me
italki teacher since Dec 24, 2019Interest topicMarketingTechTravelScienceWriting
I love figuring out different ways to help improve English learners who are stuck in their English progress. Not only do I use the knowledge I've gained from not just college and university, but also my own personal insight and experiences to give them insight, methods and strategies to work on their shortcomings and experience progress. My favorite areas of English is exam prep (TOEFL, IELTS, etc.)Me as a Teacher
I have university degrees in English language teaching and psychology. I've worked in schools, institutes, universities. I've taught English learners who were doctors, pharmacists, lawyers, computer programmers, engineers, scientists, inventors, entrepreneurs and even social media influencers (YouTubers and TikTokers). Also, I've worked with younger English learners (K-12) and especially boarding school students who need to pass exams like TOEFL to get into boarding school in the US, stay at home moms and just about anyone!My lessons & teaching style
I have developed my own way of teaching different lessons after teaching thousands of students. While I do have certain methods, strategies and techniques I prefer applying, I am a flexible instructor and do tailor my approach to each student's individual needs too considering not every person learns and absorbs information the same way. Hence, the learning process feels less stressful and more enjoyable!My teaching material

I would like to recommend Ben for preparing for duolingo, in 4 months of lessons, we were able to improve the level from 100 to 135, each class had new topics and feedback after each task.

Ben helped me prepare for TOEFL a few years ago and I ended up with a 28 in speaking and 28 in writing after applying his tips and templates. I just recently prepared for Duolingo with him for a completely different requirement and got a 135 overall score too using similar exam prep strategies that were just as effective on the production and conversion subscores.

My IELTS Score:
Overall 8.0; S 8.0; L 8.0; R 9.0; W 7.0
My Toefl Score:
Overall 105 ; S 23; W 24; L 30; R 28
Like most East Asian students, I struggled with the speaking part in the exams. However, Ben is a professional and supportive teacher who often goes the extra mile. He is always attentive in the lesson and provides instant effective feedback. Plus, he is familiar with the exam format and tips for acing the exam. With three weeks of intensive lessons, I scored an 8.0 on the IELTS speaking exam. I highly recommend Ben to any level of English learner since he is an expert in English proficiency exams.
