About Ben
I'm a strategy and finance professional with over a decade of experience across consulting, government, and private sector organisations in Australia and the UK. My career has involved complex problem solving, clear communication, and breaking down difficult concepts for a wide range of audiences, all of which translate directly into good teaching.
Alongside my professional career, I completed a Mathematics degree with the Open University. I am also half-Italian, lived in Italy for four years, and spent that time immersed in music study and performance. Those experiences inform both my teaching and my understanding of language and culture in a way that goes well beyond the classroom.
I have been teaching students since I was 19, which means I bring over a decade of hands-on tutoring experience to every session. That breadth of experience, spanning different subjects, ages, backgrounds, and learning styles, has made me a genuinely flexible and adaptable teacher. I am not wedded to one approach. If the conventional explanation is not landing, I will find another way in, often from an unexpected angle, until something clicks.
I came to several of my own areas of expertise the long way round, not through natural talent, but through curiosity and persistence. That background gives me real empathy for students who find a subject difficult, and a deep conviction that the right explanation at the right time can change everything.

I teach music composition with a practical, creative-first approach. Rather than leading with rules and theory, I start with what you want to make, and we build the knowledge and skills you need around that. I studied composition formally in Italy and have written and arranged music across a wide range of genres ever since.
I teach complete beginners with no theory background, intermediate students looking to develop their craft, and anyone interested in songwriting and pop composition specifically. Sessions are one hour via video call, relaxed and conversational, and entirely tailored to your creative goals.
