Benedict Clarke

A Cambridge graduate with a Double First in English, I have specialised in independent school entrance preparation, guiding tutees through the ISEB Pre-Test, Common Entrance and interviews, with repeated success at Eton, Winchester, Westminster and more.

When tutoring English language and literature to GCSE and A-Level, I boost pupils’ confidence and clarity and deepen their understanding of set texts. I have conducted Oxbridge interview practice and UCAS personal statement seminars in schools across China, South Korea and Japan. Recent tutees of mine have scored full marks in their coursework and gained places at Oxford University and Trinity College Dublin.

I hold an MA with Distinction from the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama and have performed Shakespeare across the United States with a theatre troupe established under the patronage of Dame Judi Dench. I expertly guide applicants through the drama school audition process and enable students of all ages to elevate their public speaking and performance skills.

An educator and an actor who places emphasis on the uniqueness of the person in front of me, I listen and I care. Specificity and ambition are key, but so is a sense of humour; enthusiasm is half the battle!
