Personal Message
Hi my name is Ben and I'm a full time personal tutor living in Elland. I graduated from Kings College Cambridge University in June '08 with a B.A hons in Natural Sciences, having attended the Brooksbank school and 6th form where I achieved 3 A's and 2 B's at A-level in Maths, Physics, Biology, Chemistry and General Studies. I have been employed by Calderdale Council since July '08 working with children and young people in various roles. I started tutoring as a hobby as it has always given me great satisfaction and enjoyment as well as keeping me in touch with subject that I intend to get back into one day. In June '10 I left my post with Calderdale Council and now work full time as a tutor doing a job I adore.

For my hobbies I enjoy swimming, playing football, DJing, gigging and playing in bands.

The Advantage of Cheat Sheets

I'm going to talk you through something I get all my tutees to do, which can be an invaluable resource when it come to learning a topic and also for revision. Every time you learn about a topic (for example enzymes) take an A4 sheet and fill it with as many equations, diagrams and relevant bits of information that you possibly can. Leave out...

My Testimonials

Ben is a great tutor as he understands every aspect of the subject he tutors for. He is good at explaining it to us in a variety of ways until we are able to understand it ourselves. Going through exam papers with Ben is good because he would teach us techniques for answering the different sorts of questions. He is a great person to talk to and a brilliant person to learn from.
- Rafia - A-level Chemistry Student
Ben was ‘hand picked’ by our 10 year son, Sam, for a boost with his maths in preparation for his SATs. Sam enjoyed his sessions with Ben and came away buzzing with renewed confidence and interest. He ultimately achieved his goal and we would have no hesitation in requesting future support for Sam or his brother & sister.
- Jo - Parent of a KS2 Maths Student
Ben has been extremely helpful in tutoring Sarah. In just two weeks Sarah's confidence has risen 100%. Ben's explanation of work that Sarah has found difficult to understand has been so easy for her to put into place, we look forward to many more weeks of quick learning and understanding and Sarah's confidence growing from strength to strength. So pleased we found him.
- Debbie - Parent of a G.C.S.E Maths Student
Friendly guy that's easy to communicate with and knows every thing that he needs to about the subjects he tutors for, would definitely recommend him to any one looking for a tutor in maths or the sciences.
