Ben

I am a Doctor in Education, an IB Examiner and former Head of English at the most prestigious school in Malta. Having taught at international schools in Europe, Asia and Africa, I have over 15 years of teaching experience in the context of Literary Studies, IB English A ,Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay and IGCSE English. Alongside my teaching career, I have an active publication record in peer-reviewed journals that have featured work by philosophers and literary critics tenured at top-ranked faculties (e.g. Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard & New York University). My dual expertise in high school teaching and academia allows me to support my students with an exceptional degree of depth, clarity, and precision. Students under my tutelage thus consistently improve their academic writing skills and achieve their desired grade targets.

Following my undergraduate studies in English Literature and Philosophy, I pursued a MA in Philosophy and a Postgraduate Certificate in Secondary Teaching. I then went on to complete a PhD in Education with a focus on English for Academic Purposes, which has provided me with unique insights and skills to teach students how to effectively communicate their ideas. Over my teaching career I have taught at international schools in China, Gabon and Malta. As a committed secondary English teacher, I have consistently helped my students to excel in their studies and fully satisfy IGCSE and IB assessment criteria. Both in the classroom and in my private lessons, I am known for my deep command of my subject areas and ability to build a strong rapport with my students.
