About Ben
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have 26 years of teaching experience at both GCSE and A level Geology: 1989-2010 at Monmouth Comprehensive School and 2010-2015 at Truro School (independent). I also have experience in adult education, both teaching adult students and at teacher training colleges, where I have delivered workshops for trainee Geology and general science teachers while working for the ESEU (Earth Science Education Unit - based at Keele University)..
Before teaching, I decided that if I was going to prepare young people for the outside world I had better go there myself before starting teaching. I worked in oil exploration for a few years as a 'Formation Evaluation Geologist' (or 'Mudlogger') in the North Sea, Syria, Turkey, Tanzania and Kenya before embarking on a 6 month trip through Nepal, India and across Africa, returning to do my PGCE teacher training course. For the last 12 years I have also spent my summer holidays leading month long adventure travel expeditions for sixth form students in Africa, South America and Asia.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
I have a current DBS certificate.
