Benny Dean

Benjamin Dean is a London-based private tutor offering A-Level Economics, Business Studies and Accounting, with fifteen years of professional experience in financial services, economic policy and international business alongside formal academic training at the University of Sydney and Columbia University in New York.

His teaching experience includes working as a Teaching Assistant for Accounting and Microfinance at Columbia SIPA, tutoring primary school children at Harlem Academy in New York City, and teaching English at Berlitz in Paris. He tutors in person in London or online.

What distinguishes him from most tutors is direct professional experience in the subjects he teaches. On Economics, he has produced economic policy analysis for the OECD in Paris, published peer-reviewed research in economics journals, and engaged with regulators and policymakers across the FCA, SEC, European Commission and OECD. On Business Studies, he founded and ran his own advisory firm, led the strategy and commercial function at an asset management firm and held senior roles at an insurance group. On Accounting, he taught the subject formally at graduate level.

His approach centres on building genuine analytical ability rather than rote memorisation focusing on structured, evidence-based argument construction that separates A and A* answers at A-Level. He works through past papers with students, provides detailed written feedback on practice answers, and tailors each engagement to the specific demands of the student's exam board.
