About Benjamin
I'm Ben, a doctoral candidate in Politics at the University of Cambridge. I received a first-class BA degree in History & Politics at the University of Oxford, where I graduated at the top of my cohort. I have six years of tutoring experience, and am open to teach IB and university students in a wide range of essay-based subjects including History, English Literature, and Politics.
I am passionate about teaching, and my tuition focuses on my students’ critical thinking and essay writing skills. I work closely with each student to help them identify their strengths and weaknesses, so as to enable a confident, smart, and efficient approach to exams. I enjoy teaching both international and local students, and am accustomed to tackling cultural or linguistic barriers to academic achievement.
I also provide excellent university admissions tutoring, including tailored guidance for succeeding in Oxbridge admission tests and interviews. My emphasis is on developing for each student a targeted and tactical approach to university admissions. I have also received multiple full scholarships at master's and PhD level, and can provide specialist advice on funding competitions.

Ben proofread my undergraduate thesis in history, and provided invaluable guidance during the research and writing process. He helped me think more deeply about my writing, and helped refine my arguments. As a proofreader, Ben is detailed, incisive, and supportive. Even though Ben's historical expertise lay beyond the scope of my thesis, he was able to quickly understand the landscape of the historiography, the key players, and to rigorously challenge my ideas. Most importantly, Ben helps students feel confident about writing, and making bold arguments.
Ben is an excellent tutor and proofreader/editor who is diligent, thoughtful, and supremely knowledgeable in a variety of topics for students studying history, politics, English (language and literature), philosophy and more. He is capable of working to help students with a variety of needs related especially to essay writing, both in terms of skills and content. He is a quick and thorough proofreader and editor for essays across a range of subjects.
His own experience of GCSE and IB (45 points) make him particularly adept at helping students in those programmes excel. Additionally, he is confident and experienced in working with students from different cultural backgrounds and with English as a secondary language.View more recommendations
