About Beninio

I hold a First Class BA from UCL and completed my MA (with Distinction) at Humboldt University Berlin, funded by a DAAD scholarship. I’m currently working towards a DPhil in History at the University of Oxford, supported by an AHRC studentship.

My academic work has been recognised with several major prizes, including the World History Association Graduate Essay Award, the Victorian Review’s Hamilton Prize, the Michael Sprinker Memorial Prize, and the Ebor Lectures Award. I have also received awards for literary and journalistic writing, including the New Statesman/Webb Memorial Trust Essay Prize, and was a finalist for the Hubert Butler Essay Prize.

My subject specialisms include modern European intellectual and cultural history, the history of empire, political thought, English and comparative literature, and political science. I also enjoy working with students who want to explore humanities or social science subjects beyond the curriculum, purely for the love of learning and independent thinking.

As a Teaching Assistant at both Freie Universität and Humboldt Universität in Berlin, I taught undergraduate students study skills, research methods, and essay-writing techniques. I have experience marking university coursework, leading seminars, and mentoring students through essays, presentations, and dissertations. In addition, I have worked for several years as a private tutor, supporting students, in a variety of humanities subjects, at GCSE, A-Level, and undergraduate level. I have also helped many students prepare successful UCAS and other university applications, including personal statements and interview preparation. Former students have gone on to secure places at a range of prestigious UK and international universities.

About the lesson

I offer expert and tailored tuition in essay-based subjects. Whether you are preparing for GCSEs, A-Levels, university coursework, or admissions, I can help by providing structured and effective support grounded in extensive academic and teaching experience.

My approach is highly personalised, and lessons are structured around your individual needs. In our initial sessions, I will work with you to identify your goals and design a study plan that reflects your current strengths and areas for improvement. I’m happy to help you build the skills needed to succeed across a wide range of subjects.

I can assist with essay planning, exam preparation, revision strategies, coursework support, and personal statement or interview coaching. I am particularly experienced in helping students improve clarity and structure in their writing. These core skills are essential not only for exams but for long-term academic and intellectual growth.

My aim is not only to help students succeed in a particular exam or assignment, but to raise their academic level more broadly and equip them with the tools for independent, critical thinking.

I met Beninio when he studied an MA in Global History at Freie University Berlin and Humboldt University Berlin. The international MA program is highly selective, but even within this group Beninio excelled. He is an extremely talented historian with a flair for writing and a genuine passion for his subject. Beninio is now studying for a PhD and I have no doubt that he has a bright academic career ahead of him. I have no hesitation in recommending him highly as a tutor.

I would very much recommend Beninio as a tutor! He's really kind, patient and a dedicated teacher. He helped me improve my English and taught me how to construct essays. I was really bad at getting my point across in an essay and he patiently taught me from scratch. He also helped me with my university applications (for both master's and PhD) and thanks to him I got accepted into the programme of my dreams and could successfully finish my PhD.
