I'm a native English speaker born and raised in California who has been teaching English since forever :) I have a master's in English Language Teaching and plenty of experience in exam prep. It brings me joy when I'm able to help my students pass some tricky standardized exams.

If you're preparing for the TOEFL iBT exam (my bread and butter!), and you're a dentist, pharmacist, nurse, doctor, university student who needs to go to grad school, yet can't seem to get a 26 or higher, especially in TOEFL speaking and writing (I have my own effective approaches for them), you're in the right place! I'll help you pass those sections. If you're a teenager from China and need TOEFL as a requirement for boarding school in the US, I'll do my best to help you get a competitive score. To those of you familiar with TPOs, I have all the latest ones. We will be using them for homework and lessons because of their authenticity.

If you're here for IELTS and are struggling to get a 7 or higher in a particular section, we'll figure out what you're doing wrong, and show you the best strategies to get past the hump and achieve a high band score.

If you're getting a low score on the ACTs or SATs (verbal and language sections), I can help identify your problems, and work on your shortcomings in order to get an ideal score (1500+, 34+).

I can help you prepare for the Duolingo exam as well (much easier option than TOEFL and IELTS if your universities and institutes offer you this exam

He has such a behavior in tutoring, which makes the student sometimes think logically and to be interested in four skills in details. He is really TOEFL expert.

Good toefl 1 to 1

I took my exam last week, and I got 116, four points improvement from previous test. I think it is pretty good, and I find the tips in writing especially helpful. So overall I am satisfied.

Kevin, 7 lessons with Benjamin
Tutor responded:

Congratulations Kevin! You were a serious student and with the 7 sessions we had you were able to get an incredibly high score (116) on your TOEFL exam! You made improvements everywhere from 28 and 28 in reading and listening, and improved them to perfect scores of 30 and 30. In writing you went from a 27 to a 29! More importantly, you needed to get a 26 or higher on speaking for university admission in the US and went from 25 (where you were stuck) to 27! Even though your hands were full with international school responsibilities and extracurriculars, you still managed to put enough time to work hard on TOEFL to achieve these spectacular results! Not to mention, it's always stressful taking the exam in another city and especially when the ETS software crashes, but you didn't lose your focus during the exam either! Congratulations to you and I wish you the best on the rest of your academic journey!
