About Benjamin
Hi, I'm Benjamin. I am an English educator and academic writing coach dedicated to helping students build confidence and precision in their work.
I hold a Master of Arts in Literature and a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Secondary English Instruction. My practical background is rooted in classroom student teaching, specialized field work in ESL and literacy, and individualized one-on-one tutoring.
This hands-on experience has equipped me with the tools to adapt my instruction to fit a wide variety of learning styles. Whether I am helping a high school student tackle the reading sections of a standardized test, or guiding a university student through the nuances of academic writing, my approach remains the same: I break down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps.
I believe that strong writing and reading comprehension are not just innate talents, but skills that can be mastered with structured guidance. My goal as your tutor is to provide a supportive, encouraging environment where we can work collaboratively to help you achieve your academic goals.

Hi, I'm Benjamin. My teaching philosophy is rooted in collaborative, interactive coaching. I work alongside my students to help them understand the core mechanics of English and academic writing in a way that feels natural and engaging.
My Teaching Method & Techniques
I focus on the practical "why" behind the language. Whether we are preparing for the TOEFL, analyzing complex literature, or writing a university-level thesis, I emphasize critical reading comprehension, research synthesis, and rhetorical strategy. I help students identify patterns in tests and organize their arguments with academic precision.
A Typical Lesson Plan
Review & Assess: We begin by reviewing your recent work or a specific pain point (e.g., a digital SAT passage, a TOEFL writing prompt, or a thesis draft).
Interactive Analysis: We break down the text or prompt together, identifying areas for improvement and discussing how to strengthen your approach.
Targeted Practice: We apply these new concepts in real-time with practical, guided exercises.
Actionable Takeaways: You leave with specific, helpful feedback and clear objectives for our next session.
What Sets Me Apart
I hold an MA in Literature and a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Secondary English Instruction, backed by formal classroom teaching experience. This combination of advanced academic training and practical instructional design allows me to break down complex writing and reading concepts into clear, manageable steps.
My lessons are tailored for:
International undergraduate and graduate students needing English for Academic Purposes (EAP) or TOEFL preparation.
High school students seeking elite preparation for the Digital SAT, ACT, or AP Literature exams.
College students and adult professionals who need high-level essay editing and structural writing support.
I look forward to helping you master the mechanics of academic English and achieve your goals.
