Benny, to whom I’m deeply indebted, is indubitably an incredible teacher. Without him, I wouldn’t be able to rid myself of my vices (my propensity towards ‘ostentatious’ English); without him, I wouldn't be able to learn what natural, adequate and practical English truly is; and definitely, without him, I wouldn’t have achieved what I did today.

Benny is an exceptional English teacher whom I owe my success to. From the fundamentals to the advanced, he always delivers in a powerful, yet not flowery way. Not only do I under his guidance improve significantly in exams, but also in proficiency of the language, which undoubtedly helps in higher education and future career.

Benny's lessons are not only conducive to consolidating students' learning in various fields - reading comprehension and composition - very often, they are also sprinkled with witty remarks, which help bring an air of lightness to the class as a whole and foster my immense fondness for the English language.
Stephanie, Maryknoll Convent School

Benny is my life-long idol for sure. He is the reason why I plucked up my confidence in English. Instead of teaching complicated yet useless vocabulary, he taught me practical elements of English, which are still paramountly useful in my writing now. Unlike other tutorial teachers out there, Benny has high expectations on my input and motivates me to do my best.
Jason, Diocesan Boys' School
DSE English 5★★
Benny has an exemplary teaching philosophy with a high commitment towards his students. His sunny disposition facilitates learning in classrooms by providing a range of authentic and skillful techniques. Then he steps back to encourage students to discover English and to take ownership of their learning. During lessons, he poses questions and dilemmas to examine whether students have mastered a particular topic and have developed the skills more effectively.

It has been six years since and there was not once I left his classroom with empty hands. Benny is a doctor of English; he knows exactly what your problems are, and is always ready to take you miles further. His passion and proficiency guarantee fulfilling learning experiences, and his notes are simply life-long treasures to me. He is a shepherd to the lost, a lighthouse to the advanced.
Benny is a teacher I adore, admire and highly respect. He keeps the key to the magical world of English. If you want to learn real English, learn from him. He never disappoints.
Audrey, Good Hope School

Benny's lessons are like a box of assorted chocolate - sometimes humorously sweet, sometimes sternly bitter, sometimes inspiringly robust. After two years of indulgence, I then realised the aftertaste is influential for a lifetime.
Sophia, St Catharine's School for Girls
DSE English 5★★
There is no denying that DSE is a tough battle. Frankly speaking, I do not have a flair for learning languages. Therefore, there is no room for complacency. Though Benny constantly raises the bar, I am still one of his loyal fans. I attended more than 300 lessons taught by him in my secondary school life. The key to getting straight 5** is certainly diligence and Benny's teaching!
Ariana , Good Hope School

Benny’s classes were challenging at times but I have learned much more practical English language skills from his lessons than any other class I have had. He held us to high standards and encouraged us to push beyond our limits. Benny’s high expectations in the classroom not only increased my English proficiency but have helped give me confidence in myself. His strictness is what makes him an effective teacher. Benny’s teaching has undoubtedly honed my reading, verbal and writing skills.
Isabel, St. Paul’s Co-educational College
DSE English 5★
Benny is a strict and responsible English teacher. He treats every student seriously. We are required to memorise certain amounts of new words every week, which truly enriches our usage of vocabularies. The regular exercise given contributes lots to my English improvement.
Eunis, Diocesan Girls’ School
DSE English 5★
Benny is a strict and responsible teacher. He ensures his students understand the usage of the vocabulary given, instead of giving out a list of synonyms of a word. During writing, he does not solely focus on the structure of the passage like what other teachers do. He takes time to check whether our arguments are logical. This strengthens our critical thinking skills, which is often overlooked by teachers in mainstream tutorial centres.
Thanks to him, I had a significant improvement during school exams. However, his lessons are way more than just achieving excellent results.
Benny’s lessons provide a chance for students to revel in the world of English, which is rarely seen among tutorial centres.
Claudia, St. Mary’s Canossian College

Words cannot describe Benny’s passion in education. Unlike other teachers who tend to spoon-feed, he displays dedication to ensure the students understand the concepts behind every learning material. Even Benny is strict and he sets high expectations for all students, I believe his traits greatly enhance my achievement. Benny’s intelligence and attitude are definitely inspiring.
Yannes, St. Mary’s Canossian College

I am proud of being a Benny’s student. He is truly an outstanding teacher as his passion for teaching and dedication to his students is very obvious. Most importantly, his self made learning materials got me interested into the world of English. Improvements can be seen clearly in tests and exams with the accurate use of vocabularies and sentence patterns. He is definitely one of the teachers that I am genuinely thankful for in these three years.
Harris, Evangel College
DSE English 5★
Without Benny’s lessons, I am sure that I would be nowhere close to achieving level 5* in English, 2021 HKDSE. Remember back when I was in junior secondary, which I had not yet met Benny, I struggled to get a pass in the English subject, with an average score of 50.
It all changed after joining Benny’s English tutorial since secondary 4. Benny’s challenging reading comprehensions taught us to read the questions carefully and avoid careless mistakes. Simultaneously, the “translation of phrases” and “paraphrasing” allows us to understand uncommon phrases to be used in writing. And the list goes on. All of the above added up as skill sets that gave me a huge leap from having an average score of 50 to 70, within only the first term of secondary 4.
Yet there is still no room for complacency. As we move on to secondary 5 and 6, the difficulties step up and Benny’s lessons continue to provide resources for us to cope with the challenges. Handouts such as “cohesive device”, “useful phrases in writing” gave us the ability to spice up our passages to a higher level, while reading comprehensions and “collocations” continue to inspire.
I would like to express my gratitude to Benny for accompanying me throughout the journey of preparing the HKDSE exam. Without Benny, I could never get the lengthy questions from paper1 right, nor completing paper3 on time, and would still be using basic sentences to construct my paper2 passages. Lots of thanks to Benny for transforming me from a student aiming 3 in English to achieving 5*, 5 and 5***in the three English papers!
Honourable mentions:
The extra class back in secondary 4 was really fun and rewarding, given us extra knowledge in English literature!
I had a great time practicing for speaking exam with Benny and the class, which allows me to cope with my nervousness and rising adrenaline while speaking. Despite having speaking exam cancelled, such exercises did help me with my interviews and I am sure that it will continue to be beneficial to me through out my life.

Most English tutors teach difficult vocabulary unheard of by even native speakers. Benny is certainly not one of them. Instead, he focuses more on training our critical thinking skills and acquainting us with social happenings. This drastically improve both my reading and writing skills. Benny can be strict from time to time but this is also what motivates me to strive for excellence.
Minnie, St. Stephen’s Girls’ College

Benny is an extraordinary teacher. Despite overwhelming students with vocabulary and phrases, he underlines the attitude of mastering a language. Reciting, practicing and flexible application are all very pivotal. Even the best teacher cannot guide you forever, yet his teachings can always be the beacon in the dark. So can Benny’s words.
Eki, Diocesan Girls’ School
DSE English 5★
Benny is a responsible teacher who gives his students constructive comments, for example, how to present ideas in a more structured way. Unlike other teachers in franchised tutorial centres, he equips his students with practical English vocabulary, collocations, and sentence structures. Polishing my writing skills and enabling me to speak in English with confidence, he is definitely one of the most inspiring teachers I have ever met.
Bryan, La Salle College
DSE English 5★
Instead of teaching flamboyant vocabulary and rigid sentence structures, Benny emphasises teaching students how to use English fluently and naturally. After taking Benny’s lessons, not only were my grades improved, but I also felt more competent in reading and using English generally. Benny is truly a lifelong teacher of mine; he might have taught me for less than one year, but his influence is longlasting.
Renzo, St. Joseph’s College
DSE English 5★
Benny is probably one of the best English teachers. Not only are the things he teaches very practical, his serious personality also encouraged me to strive for the best. He is definitely not the typical teacher who only blindly teaches students to use rare vocabulary, which is the reason I have not regretted attending his lessons even once.
Melody, Maryknoll Convent School
DSE English 5★
Benny is a teacher who makes improvement seen in a month’s time. Not only does he teach useful vocabulary and sentence structures, but also a positive learning attitude. Without that, I would never have been able to survive learning English. He is also earnest in teaching, making sure that he gives us the correct answers. He is definitely a responsible tutor and role model. One of the teachers you wouldn’t want to miss in your life.
Jerry, Queen Elizabeth School
DSE English 5★
Benny is easily the strictest tutor I have met. Some people are intimidated by his high standard, but I see it as the reason for my rapid improvement in English in just half a year’s time. Unlike other tutors, Benny’s teaching is not only limited to examination skills, but also English that is for everyday use. What I have learnt from his lessons are far more than just knowledge – the dedication to the pursuit of excellence.
Wesley, Wah Yan College Kowloon

Benny’s lessons permeate a special atmosphere, the sternness of which drives every student to be at full attention. He defines high goals for everyone. As long as he spots mistakes in students’ writings, be it missing a 's' or a minor grammatical mistake, he does not hesitate to point out the errors. Yet, it is because of his conscientiousness that imbues us with the correct attitude of learning the English language. His strictness definitely propels students to strive for excellence.
Ashleigh, Pui Ching Middle School

Benny is a coconut. Attending his classes, I thoroughly understood the idiom, 'don’t judge a book by its cover'.

Benny is a unique and unmatched English teacher. Instead of distributing standardised notes like the other tutors in chain tutorial centres, he focuses on individual abilities of every single student and provide tailor-made guidances for us. Although it is undeniable that the workload of his teaching is quite demanding, it pays off at the end of the day.
Jennifer, Kwun Tong Government Secondary School

Benny is one of the strictest tutors I have encountered but it was his high standard which drove me to try my best. Unlike others, Benny taught me that there’s no shortcut to excelling in English except putting in real effort. He was such a role model that he always demonstrated the right attitude towards learning English. The writing styles and common mistakes he emphasised are very useful and they still guide me through my use of English today. He really is a respectable and professional tutor.
Pinky, Holy Trinity College
DSE English 5★
Unlike formalized English tutorials brimming with paper analysis and drilling, Benny’s lessons nurture students’ competence in English insensibly through unique lesson design. The lessons are intensive that not only words and explanations are provided, but also example sentences and highlights of their usage, such as the positive/negative meanings implied, the part of speech and the collocating words. Benny as well identifies words that appear confusing from students’ work, grouping and addressing them, preventing and clearing up students’ misconceptions. Attending Benny’s lessons would take one’s English beyond examinations.
Gladys, Wa Ying College
DSE English 5★
Benny is not the typical kind of tutors you may have expected. Contrary to the examination-oriented teaching mode advocated by many tutors, Benny focuses more on learning English itself. Throughout years of learning, not only do I enrich my vocabularies and sentence structures, but also become conscious of grammatical issues. Consequently, my language proficiency is greatly improved by virtue of Benny's teaching. As of now, I am still a die-hard fan of Benny with the appreciation of his attitude towards teaching. Dedicating himself to teaching, Benny writes his own learning materials meticulously, thereby catering to the needs of students by not forcing them into memorizing something difficult and useless. With Benny's nourishment, guidance and nurture, the once flower seedling is now radiating beams of beauty.

There is no question that Benny is dedicated to teaching. Lesson time is often efficiently used, while he can always grab my attention as he tries to make English less dull. Benny’s classes allow me to widen my vocabulary quickly, since new vocabulary is presented in many different ways. He points out alternatives to words that I overuse in essays, and introduces words which look similar to one another. I will certainly miss being in his class.

Four years of learning in Benny’s lesson has shaped how I perceive English. Not only did he teach me how to tackle the requirements of English papers strategically, but he also instilled into me the essence of expressing thoughts precisely: varied applications of sentence structures and collocations, rather than the use of complicated vocabularies without thorough understanding. Benny’s dedication to teaching inspired me to strive for the best and adopt a critical mindset in pursuing knowledge.
