About Benjamin


Bio

Hello reader. My name is Benjamin. I've spent many years instructing English and have also worked as an exam proctor before. I'm also a mental health specialist. In brief, I'm looking forward to helping prepare test takers who are desperately stuck with a 24 or 25 speaking score on the TOEFL Speaking module and need that 26+ score. (Please do not contact me for TOEFL reading, listening or writing)*

Thank you!

Excellent tutor

Benjamin is a professional teacher who helped me finally get the score I needed on TOEFL’s speaking section for pharmacy degree evaluation only after one session! My score was 24-25, but I needed 26. After evaluating my knowledge, he gave me excellent, straightforward tips on managing my time answering the questions and sounding more natural while doing that. I am so grateful to have him as my teacher, and I 100% recommend him to anyone preparing for the TOEFL exam!
