I've been a teacher for about 8 years. I started teaching on italki while I was at university, so I'm comfortable teaching online. Being an English teacher at a junior high school in Japan is my main job.
8年間くらい先生として働いています。大学の時にitalkiで教え始めたのでオンラインレッスンを行うのは慣れています。中学校の英語の先生であることは本業です。
I often receive positive feedback, especially about my detailed explanations as to why I corrected the mistakes in a certain way. I also help students with their pronunciation skills. I know the fine details of both English and Dutch pronunciation, and the common mistakes.
僕の些細な解説について、なんでそのようにあのミスを直したかよくポジティブなフィードバックをもらいます。発音のスキルをアップするのも手伝います。頻出のミスだけでなく、細かいところまで英語（とオランダ語）の発音を詳しく知っています。My lessons & teaching style

If you give something to me, we'll go through the corrections and explanations together the same or the following lesson.
あなたが勉強するものについて何でも手伝います。ただの会話練習でもいいです。文法、発音などを解説します。何か書類を添削してほしいなら、それでも大丈夫です。添削は同じレッスンか次のレッスンで一緒に確認します。

Ben is a very nice teacher. He is patient, detail oriented and fun. He prepared well for the class and during the class, he created a document for me with all the materials we were learning and talking about. I have enjoyed the class with him.

Ben is a great teacher and I always enjoy our lessons despite finding language learning very difficult. He is very patient and also has a way of describing things that makes them much easier to understand. Dutch is a hard language but Ben makes is much more accessible and fun. Dankjewel!
