About Me
italki teacher since Mar 18, 2020InterestsBusiness & FinanceTravelGamingFoodMusic
I help students build real conversational fluency and lasting confidence in English. With 15+ years of experience and 2000+ lessons taught on italki, I’ve supported 495 students in becoming natural, clear and self-assured speakers.
Many of my students commit, some even studying with me for years. Over time, they stop translating, begin thinking directly in English, and express complex ideas with ease. Watching that transformation is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
Whether your goal is confident conversation or exam success, I create a personalised plan to help you improve consistently and effectively. Fluency is not built in 5 lessons — it’s built through consistency, guidance.
🔹 Conversational Fluency & Confidence
Structured speaking-focused lessons designed to improve vocabulary range, natural expression, pronunciation and spontaneity. You’ll receive live correction, clear explanations and practical language you can use immediately in real conversations.
Many of my students commit long-term because they see consistent, measurable progress. My role is not just to correct you — but to coach you through the process of becoming a confident English speaker.
🔹 IELTS & CELPIP Preparation
Targeted exam strategies, mock testing and detailed performance feedback for students preparing for immigration or study. I focus on precision, structure and helping you understand
My lessons are structured but relaxed. I create an environment where you feel comfortable speaking...My teaching material

I wanted to practice my conversational English, so that I can become more fluent. With Ben you can talk about so many different topics, that it will never get boring. Every time we discover something new, discussing music, traveling, different cultures and food and also topics that matter for both of us. These are natural and spontaneous conversations that will help activate the everyday language and become more fluent! Thanks to Ben for so many insights and the possibility to use my language skills actively!
