"I needed to improve my pronunciation and communication skills in English, and ever since I started working with Ben, I have received positive feedback on my spoken English."
"I specifically came to Ben because I had a series of job interviews in English to prepare for. I was applying for a job in an American company based in my city, so most of my superiors, colleagues and customers are American or use American English as the language of communication. Ben's step-by-step approach gave me the confidence I needed to improve my pronunciation and communication skills in English, and ever since I started working with Ben, I have received positive feedback on my spoken English. I look forward to continuing my sessions with Ben to improve even more."

"Now I sound more natural and fluent, and my speech has more rhythm."
"Ben is a really good teacher. He’s empathetic and respectful with his students. In the beginning, it’s hard to see the whole picture of what he’s teaching you, but when you put it all together, things become clear and you can see the direction everything is going. Everything is coherent and makes sense. Now I sound more natural and fluent, and my speech has more rhythm. I feel more confident about my pronunciation. It was a really enriching experience."

"The classes with Ben gave me confidence, first by showing me that I don't have to hide my accent and then by giving me fundamental clues that allowed me to be more aware of my primary difficulties."
"English has always been a challenge for me. I didn't go to a school that taught it properly, and that left a lot of gaps, especially in my pronunciation. Now I am a professor at a university, and I must often communicate in English, which made me feel insecure. The classes with Ben gave me confidence, first by showing me that I don't have to hide my accent and then by giving me fundamental clues that allowed me to be more aware of my primary difficulties. This type of learning was critical as it not only helped me during the classes, but it will continue to help me now that they are over. I want to highlight not only the obvious - Ben's great professional ability -, but also his great human qualities, which make him an excellent teacher from whom you can learn a lot as he creates a warm and comfortable academic atmosphere that is ideal for learning."

"Ben is a great teacher, and I learned more in this couple of months (in Ben's course) than in any other course that I took before. I’ve noticed I’m more fluent and my pronunciation is better, and I’m thinking more in English. I’m very happy with my progress. I feel more confident about the way I speak now. I appreciate learning about pronunciation, intonation and the way to use the spoken language. I really recommend him!"

"Now I am much more aware of my pronunciation and how to use my tongue, and my mouth, and whether I should tense up my lips or not, etc."
“I’ve learned a lot about pronunciation, rhythm and how to use my speech organs (tongue, throat, mouth, lips, etc.). I know I have a lot more to practice, but now I am much more aware of my pronunciation and how to use my tongue, and my mouth, and whether I should tense up my lips or not, etc. In Ben’s classes, there’s nothing to be afraid of. He's always willing to teach and he's a really cool teacher. You feel comfortable even when you make a pronunciation mistake or forget a word. He creates a trusting and professional learning environment in his classes.”

"Of all the courses I’ve taken in the past, this has been the most comprehensive. Ben has an excellent disposition and knowledge, good teaching techniques, and his method is very dynamic and entertaining."
"There were quite a few things to highlight while working with Ben, such as a well-defined structure in our sessions, interactive content with video support, permanent access to Google Drive to practice topics, excellent methodology to teach pronunciation, patience, and excellent disposition to teach.
I learned about symbology to interpret sounds and work on my pronunciation, and practicing in and out of our sessions gave me more knowledge and improved my speaking skills. My knowledge of grammar increased, especially verb tenses, and my listening skills were sharpened, too.
But without a doubt, what stands out the most is Ben’s structured approach to teaching and giving you practical tools in a didactic and very entertaining way. I would encourage you to work with him 100%. In fact, my intention is to resume in March, so I’ll take classes with Ben again.
