Feedback from previous students (on another tutoring website):
Francesca:
Phillip tutored my daughter in IB business from January to May.
She was struggling with the subject and not connecting with her teacher. We were clutching at straws and a little desperat...and then we found Phillip. He was the perfect tutor - as I wrote to him, he was responsible for turning my daughter's failing grade around and making her believe in herself AND love the subject. Wha more can you ask for? He is the epitome of a great teacher. My daughter loved her sessions with Phillip; he was kind and caring, encouraging, never in a hurry - the opposite of her actual teacher at school and made so much difference. I would recommend without hesitation - she went from a 3 to a high 6! Bravo!!

Dana:
I had accounting tutorials with Phillip, as I was struggling with my accounting degree. A great tutor. My final exam’s mark was 99%!

Louise:
I would certainly recommend Phillip, he was able to take on my son at short notice and has been very helpful in preparing him for Business Studies A Level exams. Thank you.

Julia:
Excellent, well informed about curriculum requirements, my son says he has found the sessions very useful and interesting

Nicky:
I highly recommend Phillip as an Economics tutor. He was fantastic at building my son's confidence in the months leading up to his A Level Economics exam. Phillip helped develop my son’s level of understanding to ensure he obtained a pass grade, which secured him a place at the university of his choice. Thank you Phillip, he couldn’t have done it without you!

Phillip helped me achieve 111/120 UMS in Unit 4 Edexcel Economics, making my overall A Level grade rise from a C to an A* from this single retake examination! I couldn't have asked for a more committed and supportive tutor - thank you!

Olivia:
Phillip has been the most amazing and patient teacher, building my confidence and knowledge over the last 5 months. I went from getting C-D's in my mocks to achieving an A* in my Economics A-Level- Something which seemed impossible 6 months ago. I cannot recommend Phillip enough!

Katie:
I would highly recommend Phillip as a tutor. He was excellent at building my daughter's confidence in the months leading up to the final exam. He also helped to broaden her knowledge in business studies and improve her essay writing and structure which was invaluable in the exam.

Khallid:
Needed to get a passing grade in a subject I knew nothing about.
Was able to understand the material after several sessions with Philip, passed the module. Will be using this tutor again, highly recommend.

Hi Phillip. Just wanted to let you know the very happy news that Sophie got a B in Business A Level. She is extremely happy and we both feel that your extra help and the clarity you gave for for revision contributed towards this. Thank you - Sophie really enjoyed her lessons with you and found them very useful - wish we had found you earlier and it may have been an A* !!

Phillip has been excellent and provided strong direction and focus for my daughter's (Sophie) revision. She was feeling a bit of panic with the volume of revision but Phillips guidance has been great and much appreciated. Thank you

Tutoring Approach

Tailored to the needs of the individual student.
To build confidence through secure knowledge and understanding of the subject as well as ensuring a thorough understanding about how to approach exam questions. Provide opportunities for students to practise their exam skills between lessons and then discuss and grade the work they have done in the online session.
Pupils have achieved one to two grade improvement as a result of tutoring.
