A warm welcome to Artisan Tuition.

As the founder and dedicated Artisan Tutor, I bring over a decade of expertise in bespoke coaching and education, gained from working in a variety of prestigious settings with elite-level challenges.

From revitalizing schools in the North East to shaping young minds at an ancient school in ‘Old Wessex’ and the elite Institut auf dem Rosenberg in Switzerland, I have honed my craft across diverse educational landscapes.

At Artisan Tuition, we differ from the typical impersonal agency model by offering an exclusively relational, and tailored approach. Guided by lessons learned from the world’s leading institutions and practitioners, we ensure that every student receives the highest quality of tuition.

Whilst we are based in the South West region of England, our roots are in Manchester and Cheshire, where I was raised. We bring that distinctly Northern attitude to our craft — straight-talking, down-to-earth, and genuine.

But you will find many of our clients further across the British Isles and far beyond, because they know we are dedicated to delivering world-class tuition anywhere in the world, and empowering their children to unlock their full potential.

I trust that you will find all the information you need on this website to make an informed decision about joining the Artisan Tuition family. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Thank you for considering Artisan Tuition and the elite services we offer.

It would be an honour to help your child thrive in their academic journey.


"Expert tuition should be exacting, personal and genuinely enjoyable."

  • ""I was really struggling with A-Level History and Philosophy, constantly getting Us, Fs, and the occasional low C. I felt like giving up so many times because nothing seemed to work, and I didn’t think I could ever improve. Then I started working with Benjamin, and everything changed."

    —Student, A-Level History & Theology

  • ""Benjamin worked wonders with my son, who faces behavioural difficulties and attention challenges. His patient and understanding approach helped my son develop his verbal reasoning and creative writing skills."

    —Parent of Pupil, 11+ Exam Prep + SEN Coaching

  • ""We cannot thank Benjamin enough for the incredible support he gave our son in French at Eton College. At the start of the year, he was predicted a 4 in his GCSEs...When the results came in, we were absolutely thrilled to see that he had achieved almost a 9 - something we never thought possible."

    —Parent of Pupil, GCSE French at Eton College

  • "We were so impressed with Benjamin’s help in preparing our son for the 7+ entrance exam for Manchester Grammar School. At such a young age, it can be difficult to keep children focused and motivated, but Benjamin managed to do both while making the lessons fun and engaging."
