About Me
italki teacher since Mar 24, 2020InterestsFilms & TV SeriesBusiness & FinanceTechMarketingTravel
Hello! I'm Benjamin, a TEFL-certified English teacher originally from Oregon, USA, and now based in Medellín, Colombia. With more than 10 years of experience, I focus on natural conversation practice, and engaging, interactive lessons for kids.
My own travels to over 20 countries, including several years living in places like Chiang Mai, Thailand, have shown me how much language can open doors and bring people together. When I'm not teaching, you'll probably find me spending time with my family, writing short fiction, making music, and practicing yoga, among other activities.
I am so excited to help you reach your English goals!Me as a Teacher
After obtaining TEFL Certification from the Language Institute at Chiang Mai University I taught classes at Pro Language Chiang Mai in 2008. I remained there until returning home from Thailand in February of 2009. Since then I have done private English tutoring in Thailand, Mexico, and United States.
More recently, I taught English conversation and grammar lessons to students enrolled in Tutlo Online English School, based out of Poland, from 2020 to 2022.
Presently, I have been proudly teaching here on italki for six years, engaging with nearly a thousand students over more than 6000 hours of lessons! My lessons & teaching style
Hello, awesome students! Mastering English is all about jumping into fun, real conversations, and I’m here to make it happen! I customize every lesson to your level, whether you’re just starting or already advanced. My Conversation Practice lesson is a engaging way to boost your speaking and listening skills through friendly conversations. My main focus is to help you build confidence and become more comfortable speaking English, while at the same time building skills and correcting mistakes. Want something more specific? I also offer focused lessons for interview success and kids’ classes (ages 5-12). No matter your goal, I’m here to help you thrive with confidence!My teaching material

I always look forward to our sessions, and time flies when I'm speaking with him. If you're looking for someone to make learning fun while improving your speaking skills, Benjamin is definitely the right person! Thank you very much for everything, Benjamin!

I took the "Let's Chat!" lessons with Ben to help me prepare for the IELTS exam and improve my conversational English. Ben is a fantastic teacher who can chat about anything, from deep philosophical questions to video games and everyday life. The lessons were always super comfortable and fun.

Ben is a fun and creative teacher! I’ve been taking his lessons for about six months, and he encourages me to talk about a wide range of topics, from video games to current political issues. Even when it’s hard for me to express myself on my own, he asks the right questions to keep the conversation going. The 30 minutes always fly by, and I learn something new every time. I highly recommend his lessen to anyone who wants to practice speaking while having fun in conversation!
