About
I am an English Business Communication Skills trainer with nearly 20 years of experience working with corporate clients in Japan and Taiwan. I specialize in giving my clients the confidence to communicate effectively in the workplace and beyond. What you can expect from me: interaction, encouragement, clear explanations, easy-to-understand materials, meaningful practice and immediate and actionable feedback. Students leave my courses feeling empowered, confident, and able to use what they have learned. Part of the joy for me is to see the transformation in learners when they begin to understand that yes, they can do it. The confidence that realization brings can be life-changing, and helping my clients achieve that realization is a fantastic motivation. I design and deliver both on-site and online programs, with classes sizes ranging from one-on-one sessions to seminars with 200+ attendees, and everything in-between. I am equally at home giving courses online and face to face, with consistently good feedback from my clients. I'm looking forward to helping you with your business English communication needs. I'd be delighted to hear from you!

'I really appreciate how Ben interacts with the team, he’s energetic, funny, and truly passionate. His positive energy is very encouraging, which helps a lot, especially since many people tend to be shy at the beginning. Ben also does a great job of focusing on the mistakes we make and providing helpful corrections, which makes the learning experience much more effective.'

‘Practicing with you regularly has helped me a lot. More importantly, you’re a great teacher. You never just give me the answer. You guide me, but always let me think for myself.’
Business Writing Student, NKNU, 2024.
I think Ben is lively and engaging, which makes the classes really interesting. He is very dedicated and responsible, always ensuring that we understand the material. Besides improving my English writing skills, I’ve also picked up a lot on speaking English more confidently. The interactive discussions and activities help us practice speaking in a fun and relaxed environment. It’s been a great experience overall!
