Hi, Everyone! My name is Benjamin, and I am from the United States. I am an educator, philologist, and university student. I am study English Language and Literature and Secondary Education. I have a strong passion for learning new things and teaching! My hobbies are reading, pottery, photography, writing, cooking, and eating delicious food. I also love my family very much.
Me as a Teacher
I always try my best to create lessons that are specifically tailored to each of my students.
I am currently going to school for English Language and Literature. What I have learned in University will be directly applied to lessons.
I am currently learning Korean as a second language, and I have gotten to an intermediate level, without ever taking a class. I want to use my own experience with learning a second language, to help my students with their own language journeys.
I also have 6 years of teaching experience, teaching students from beginner-advance, and from the ages of 5-85.
The most important thing to me as a teacher is to keep my students interested, relaxed, and happy.
My lessons & teaching style
My main lessons are relaxed and conversation based. Bring a notebook and a pencil, but maybe also a cup of coffee or tea.
During our trial lesson I will learn about you and your language goals. With this information, I will create lessons that will tailor towards your specific language goals.
I will also be able to help you specifically with:
- Standard American-English Accent and Pronunciation
- Writing Skills
**I have a no refund / reschedule policy for cancellations made within 24 hours of the lesson.**
I feel like he is one of my friends even though it's only been a month since I started attending his class. I always feel comfortable, so I can speak a lot of things in English. Time really flies in his class. :)

I really enjoyed the session with Ben!! He asked me what I wanted to improve and the best way to manage it, and he perfectly understood what I was looking for.
I loved that Ben gave me feedback at the end of class and sent me notes so I can focus on those aspects of my English later.
He is very friendly and kind and speaks very clearly. The conversation flowed smoothly and time flew by! It was like talking to a friend, with the addition that he focused on my English and what I need to correct.
I am sure that my English will improve with our conversations! I look forward to the next session!!

Ben is a professional teacher with strong work ethics. During his class, he not only gives me constructive advice on how to improve the framework of my essays ,but also work with me to build a more coherent narrative. His down-to -detail attitude to each and every one of the sentences in my essays has never failed to amaze me even after 9 sessions with him. As a non-native speaker, I always struggle with word choice and connotations of words, which are exactly the speciality of Ben. He is very sensitive to words and he intuitively knows it when a word feels wrong, so he can point it out. Most importantly ,he can explain it to you in a language that is easy to understand.
Why are you still waiting? Come and book a lesson with Ben. I guarantee that you will never regret it!
