Meet Benjamin Allen

Educator. Author. Lifelong language learner.

Hi, I’m Ben — a British educator, course creator, and author with a passion for helping people learn English with confidence. Over the past two decades, I’ve taught students across Malaysia, China, and the UK, specialising in IELTS preparation, academic English, phonics, and ESL learning. Today, I use that experience to create practical, accessible learning materials for self-learners around the world.

My platform, Teaching Mr Allen, is a space for independent English learners who want more than grammar drills and textbook theory. Here, you’ll find:

  • Research-backed English learning resources

  • Tools to improve your speaking, writing, and vocabulary

  • Carefully designed IELTS courses, launching soon

  • Engaging children’s books that support phonics and early reading

I believe every learner deserves clarity, confidence, and community — no matter where they’re starting from.

Want updates, resources, and a little extra motivation each month?
