Went from barely scraping a C to achieving a Distinction, and I genuinely couldn’t have done it without Ben.
I worked with Ben for a full year ahead of my A-Level French exams and the difference he made was extraordinary. When we started, I was really struggling with the more complex grammar and my confidence in speaking was basically zero. By the time I sat my exams, I felt genuinely prepared in a way I never expected to.

What sets Ben apart is that he never just drills you on rules and moves on. He actually takes the time to make sure you understand why a structure works the way it does, which means it actually sticks. Every lesson felt purposeful, and I always left knowing exactly what I needed to practise before the next one.

His patience is remarkable. There were weeks where I came in having not done enough prep, or where the same concept just wasn’t clicking, and he never made me feel stupid or frustrated. He just found a different way in.

The lessons themselves are really well structured. We’d review what we’d covered before, tackle something new, then actually use it in speaking or writing tasks that felt like the real exam, not just isolated exercises.

I achieved a Distinction, which I’m still a bit stunned by. A year ago I wasn’t sure I’d even pass. Weekly sessions with Ben were a big part of why that changed. If you’re a student who’s finding French tough, I’d book in with him without hesitation.
