What can I say - what a find! Philip's knowledge and guidance through Year 13 has been invaluable to my daughter. I am so grateful for his calm and supportive approach with all things Maths. I would recommend Philip without hesitation - and am beyond grateful for his tuition.
What can I say—that's very kind of you, Jo! I am delighted that I was able to help your daughter. She is so easy to work with—bright, mature, and engaged. I am sure that she will get an excellent grade in her maths and be a success in whatever comes next.
From Kevin
Philip is the best Maths tutor we have ever had. He provided a high level of teaching and caring. Under his guidance, my son improved significantly in mathematics and became actively involved in mathematics classes at school. I highly recommend Philip if you need help with A-level Maths to achieve an A or A* grade.
That's very kind of you, it has been a pleasure working wth Kevin and seeing him grow in confidence and results. I am sure that he will do very well in both Maths and Further Maths A Levels!
From Marina
Philip is very competent and exactly the person my son was looking for to help him bridge the gaps in his A level maths knowledge. Philip’s teaching methods are great and according to my son, his explanations are clear and concise and he makes the information very easy to understand. Philip is flexible and nothing is too much trouble for him. I would highly recommend him for Maths tutoring.
Thank-you Marina, your kind comments reflect the way that I like to work. It is a pleasure supporting your son, who is always keen and ready to learn!
From Balasubramaniam
Philip has helped my daughter improve her grades drastically. He ensured that she thoroughly understood the topics that she was unsure about and challenged her with hard exam questions to make sure she performs at her maximum ability. Overall, Philip is a great tutor - I would definitely recommend him!
Thank-you Balasubramaniam, it was a pleasure working with your daughter, she deserves every success!
From Nigel
Philip helped my son with his GCSE Maths revision, and he did a superb job. My son thoroughly enjoyed his revision sessions and homework feedback he went into his exams with renewed confidence. I would certainly recommend Philip, he is a superb tutor.
Thank you Nigel, it was a pleasure to work with your son who deserves every success in his results
From Michelle
A friendly, reliable and experienced Tutor.
My son needed extra help with his A’Level Pure Math subject and met weekly with Phillip for a 2/3 months.
Alex was able to understand areas of the subject that he had previously struggled with and he gained in confidence by practising old papers.
I am really happy with the help and confidence that Phillip gave my son.
Thank you.
Thank you, Michelle, I am pleased that I was able to put your son back on the right track, he was a pleasure to work with!
From Sinead
Philip is punctual and well informed.
Thank you; I hope we have the chance to keep going after our initial meeting
From Kate
Great so far thanks. My daughter has only had one session but found Philip to cover material at just the right level to support her A level studies.
From Genevieve
First day of tutoring my daughter says he is very good
From Tanya
Cannot recommend Philip more highly. Competent, highly knowledgable, flexible, approachable yet firm. Flexible. Philip is supporting my son improve his level with his Higher IB maths. He also really cares about his student, and I cannot underestimate the importance of empathy when learning. I would recommend this tutor to any learner given his adaptability and long-standing experience.
Very many thanks for this feedback Tanya. It has been a pleasure working with your son; he is a fast learner who can make real progress with a little support. I am sure he will succeed!
From Benjamin
Made my objectives clear at the beginning of our time together and are getting through my work at a good pace. Highly recommend.
From Arthur
I think your tutoring input with Jasmine was hugely beneficial. Although you recognised her capabilities from the outset, her efforts at school had been somewhat undermined by her teachers although I am sure that was not their intention. Your support rebuilt her confidence, and I need no further proof of that than her success in gaining a place at Cambridge on their Natural Science Course. I would be very happy to recommend your services to other students. I hope you are both well and continuing to enjoy life in the village. Doubtless we will see you round and about. Best wishes Arthur
Thank-you for your kind words Arthur. It was a pleasure working with Jasmine, she is an excellent student who deserves every success and just needed a nudge in the right direction to take off! I was delighted to see her again, to support her in the Cambridge prep, where she responded so well to the extra stretch.
From Helen
Philip put my daughter at ease and she found him patient, encouraging and understanding. He consolidated her learning and identified and focused on areas that needed more practice. She achieved a very good A level result.
Thanks so much Philip for your help.
Delighted to help and support your daughter getting into her engineering degree where I am sure she will do very well.
From Katharine
Philip has been working with my son, Rob, since October and we have found him to be an outstanding tutor. Rob is aiming to complete AS and A2 maths in one year using a distance learning course. I'm not sure this would be possible without Philip's help. He is well-prepared for tutorials and sets appropriate homework, which is always marked before the next tutorial. He is able to explain and demystify the many difficult concepts students tackle as part of A level maths. He sets an appropriate pace for tutorials so we are confident that all topics will be reviewed thoroughly before the exams in May. We would highly recommend Philip as a tutor.
Many thanks Kate. It is a pleasure working with Rob who is always keen and committed despite having to motivate himself. I have enjoyed meeting all the family too; excellent hospitality!
From Yvette
Philip was an excellent tutor for my two children, one studying IB maths and the other GCSE maths. They both achieved good results and grew in confidence and ability under his tutelage. I would highly recommend Philip as a tutor. Mrs T
Many thanks for the feedback, it was a real pleasure working with your daughters and great to meet such a lovely family! Philip
From Sarah
Having Philip as a tutor for our son studying IB Higher maths was the best decision we could have made. His patience and good humour coupled with his extensive knowledge of the IB curriculum meant that our son achieved a grade a great deal higher than would have been the case without his help! We have no hesitation in recommending Philip.
That's very kind Sarah. I very much enjoyed working with such a lively, bright student. We had a lot of positive challenging and fun along the way. I am delighted that your son got the result he needed. Thank-you!
From Laura
From Lesley
Philip has helped my son (studying MEI Mathematics, OCR AS Level) significantly this year. He has steadily built his confidence and improved his knowledge and ability in aspects he had previously struggled with. He has a relaxed, encouraging and extremely positive style of teaching. Philip has been very flexible and accommodating, fitting around school events and adding extra sessions before exams. Very highly recommended.
From Pat
My son is very happy with Philip - a great confidence boost. We are pleased to have found a good, **Contact Detail Removed**.
From Jane
Philip is great for improving confidence in problem areas; he encourages the completion of past papers on a regular basis, in order to quickly improve exam technique. Philip makes his students employ first principles to ensure they understand why they are doing what they have been taught at school… He is always punctual, professional and approachable. He has, without question, made all the difference to my daughter's exam prospects.
From Gail
Philip responded promptly to our request for an A Level Maths tutor. We were able to schedule a slot with him and he has been coming to tutor my daughter for a few weeks. Philip is obviously experienced and knows the A Level Maths syllabus very well. He explains things clearly and with humour. He is good at assessing the ability of his pupil and tailoring the work accordingly. My daughter has found their sessions very useful and we would definitely recommend him as a tutor.
From Thomas
Philip has catered perfectly for my slightly different requirements (older student doing retakes) and has been brilliant teaching the syllabus. Lessons are made interesting, and I have come on leaps and bounds since starting, actually much further than I would have originally assumed over the 2 month time-frame. Would HIGHLY recommend
A tough assignment - A Level in nine months - but very enjoyable with a mature, hard working student so keen to progress. Many thanks for the feedback!
From Clare
We are delighted to have Philip's help with my son's maths and further maths A levels. My son has made great progress in his first few sessions, Philip has made them both challenging and fun and we have every confidence Philip will give him strong support in the run up to his exams. We would be delighted to recommend him.
From David
Philip has been very helpful, enthusiastic, punctual and knows his stuff! We have been working towards AS level, and Philip has been very thorough in helping to reinforce learning.
From Ben
Philip has greatly improved my confidence in mathematics due to his patience, clarity and his emphasis on the fundamentals. We work through topics at a fast pace but will allocate more time to aspects of the syllabus if I am having problems. He is also very easy to get on with and has your best interests at heart. As I am a private candidate I needed help with my UCAS application with regards to my reference and personal statement, and thankfully Philip helped me through it and I received offers back from all five universities I applied to.
From Jan
Philip has been very reliable and is an excellent tutor for my daughter. She enjoys the lessons and is now much more confident in her abilities.
From Fiona
Jack is so pleased with the help he has received so far. He really likes the approach you take which makes him find the way through questions whilst giving him helpful tips at the same time. He looks forward to the sessions. Many thanks.
From Sara
Philip, has been very easy to deal with. He is tutoring my daughter AS Further Maths, and she enjoys the way he challenges her thinking. She is studying the subject outside of School, and I have been impressed with how quickly she is moving through the curriculum with Phillips help. I can thoroughly recommend Phillip for anyone needing help with Further Maths.
Thank-you for the kind feedback which reflects how I like to work, at the student's pace but giving them the confidence to push on. Your daughter is an excellent student, keen and inquisitive, who likes to learn quickly - I'm just about keeping up!
From Jo
My daughter has recently started being tutored by Philip towards her igcse Maths and she is very happy with her sessions and choice of tutor. Philip is organised and approachable with a focused yet relaxed manner which she is responding to really well.
From Sophie
Philip's knowledge with many different Businesses has been really useful in helping me understand my case study for my exam and help me to get grips with decisions a business has to make which is the main part of my syllabus. I would really recommend Philip!
From Rani
response was very quick, have not had lesson yet but look forward to meeting Philip on Monday,
