Philippa was very responsive from the start, extremely professional and my daughter felt she had a good knowledge base and style of teaching. Would definitely be in touch with her again in future if my son takes Economics for A-Level
Thanks for this! All the best going forward.
From Suemaya
Outstanding teacher! Philippa is worth every penny, look beyond the money spent and more at the high standards of teaching
Thank you! She’s been a pleasure to teach.
From Jody
Pip replied to me promptly at my initial enquiry (IGCSE math) as well as in our one month lessons with her. She's a good teacher with very smart math skills and a great educational background. My daughter likes her teaching methos of asking her questions like 'how do you think you should do it' to guide her thinking deeper and solving the math problem independently. She's felxible and helpful on times and dates. As for personal reasons, we decided to not continue lessons with her.
Thanks Jody! She made great progress and was a pleasure to teach. All the best going forward.
From Rebecca
Very engaging and my daughter was very keen on the way Phillipa teaches Maths, you have a good tutor right here!
Thanks Rebecca!
From Helen
Pip is excellent. She responded quickly to our initial enquiry (A level maths) and was efficient and very well organised. My son got on very well with her and thought her use of online technology was effective and very useful. She quickly produced a comprehensive plan going forward, one which my son found easy to follow. Useful feedback was provided after the lessons. We highly recommend Pip and just wish we’d found her earlier!
Thanks Helen!
From Nicola
Having now had more lessons with Pip, I would like to re-iterate my confidence in Pip as a tutor. She is punctual, well prepared and patient and very good at explaining areas that my son has needed further support with with in A-level maths and economics. My son likes Pip and is very keen to continue lessons with her and I have no hesitation in recommending Pip as a tutor.
Thanks Nicola. Looking forward to seeing you again for another lesson!
From Paul
5 Star service from Pip. we've had 4 lessons, and Pip and my daughter have really connected. Pip has given her confidence in her maths, and now that confidence is starting to transfer itself into the classroom. Pip has the patience of a saint, and understands that children need to have fun when learning. Pip pulls this off with aplomb, and now my daughter is starting to engage with maths, rather than run away for it.
Pip is a gifted teacher, and as a natural rapport with children. I unreservedly highly recommend her to any parent looking to quickly boost their child's confidence in a weak understanding of a subject.
Thanks Paul. It's been great to see her grow in confidence!
From lisa
My daughter is thriving because of the diligent tutoring by Philippa. We can highly recommend her.
Thanks Lisa - she has been wonderful to teach!
From Judith
Philippa has been tutoring my daughter Charlotte in business and accounting for two years while Charlotte has been studying International Management and Business with Spanish at Reading University/Henley Business School. Charlotte has received a first for both years' study and we are sure Philippa's help has been invaluable in helping Charlotte achieve this. Philippa has been very reliable in meeting with Charlotte and changing times of the sessions when necessary. We would certainly recommend Philippa and we thank her for assisting Charlotte over the last two years. Phillippa knows her areas of work and expertise in depth.
Thanks Judith! It’s been great teaching Charlotte.
From Gwen
Pip has been amazing for my daughter. She has given her confidence in her A' Level, which she had almost given up on! My daughter and I were initially sceptical about tutoring by Skpe but it was a great way to learn and no different from being in the room with the tutor! It also gave additional flexibility which would not have been as easy if the meetings were 'face to face'. I would 100% recommend Pip to anyone considering this route and I am amazed at how much my daughter has learnt in just five months. Money well spent. Thank you for everything.
Thanks Gwen. All the best to you both.
From Penny
Pip has been a gift! She is prompt, polite, professional, knowledgeable and engaging - we couldn't have asked for more!
Thanks Penny! She has been a pleasure to teach.
From Harry
Pip has been an excellent maths tutor, building confidence while systematically covering all the topics that are needed. With Pip's help my child performed very well in her entrance exams, getting academic scholarships and a place at the school she wanted the most. Better still, she now enjoys maths! Thank you, Pip!
Thanks Harry! All the best.
From Susanna
Pip helped our son with Economics for 3 months prior to his final A level exams in summer 2017. She is a brilliant tutor, really well organised and excellent at communicating ideas. Our son very much enjoyed his tutoring sessions with Pip and went from a predicted A grade to A*. Thank you Pip!
He was a pleasure to teach. All the best!
From Elly
My daughter has been very happy with the tutoring received, and really felt like it made a huge difference to her understanding and progress. Would very much recommend Phillipa to anyone looking for an economics tutor. Update - Have now received A level results (aug 2017), and can confirm that my daughter got an A in her economics. She had been predicted a B, and I truely believe it was through the additional time she spent with Phillipa that enabled her to achieve an A grade. We are thrilled with the outcome!
Congratulations on brilliant results!
From Wendy
Pip was fantastic. Pip was professional, enthusiastic, patient, very organised and an excellent teacher. We were so lucky to have her.
Thanks Wendy! All the best.
From John
Pippa is an excellent tutor. She really supported our daughter, covering a great deal of material and helping her develop her understanding and thinking. Pippa absolutely provided the boost that she needed. Highly recommended.
Thanks John!
From Sally
Fantastic support, who accommodated my daughters needs during a very stressful time. Thank you so much.
Thanks Sally! All the best.
From Anne
Pipis a great tutor. Things were clearly explained which helped to fill the gaps in my knowledge,
Thanks James!
From Michael
Claudia got on very well with Pip. She helped Claudia enjoy Economics much more than just attending college lessons and believes that this helped to improve her AS grade.
Thanks Michael - it was great to work with Claudia!
From Imogen
Excellent tutor! I contacted Philippa with only two weeks before my economics exam and knowing hardly anything about the subject and with her help I came out with a very high 2:1 - miracle worker!
Thanks Imogen! All the best.
From Louise
Pip is an excellent tutor, worth every penny! My son was struggling with A-Level Economics. Pip was able to explain the syllabus in a way that was easy to understand, with patience and at a pace that suited him. He was delighted to get a B and got his first choice of University. Thanks so much Pip!
From Elena
Pip is a wonderful find and has helped my son get back on track with his Economics 'A' level revision and strategy. Pip's time spent at the end of the Summer meant he managed to push himself up 3 grades for his exams - which is incredible. Pip will continue to tutor until the final exams next Summer and her professionalism and knowledge is highly recommended. Book up early though as Pip is very popular!
From Sandra
My daughter has really enjoyed each lesson so far. Thank you for making maths interesting again for Alice!
Thanks, Sandra! Alice is a pleasure to teach.
From Alison
The fog is quickly starting to dissipate surrounding Erin's understanding of economics. It is early days with Pip but already she has made a huge and positive difference to E's confidence and she is starting to get a handle on things now. Many thanks and long may this continue!
Thanks, Alison! Erin is doing brilliantly.
From Jane
My son has recently started tutor sessions with Pip and is already benefiting from her experience and guidance. Having a maths tutor has helped him to feel more supported for his future exams and Pip has given him the confidence that he is able to tackle the more difficult questions. We are so happy to have found an excellent tutor and are very happy to recommend her.
Thanks Jane!
From Karen
Pip is really helpful and supportive - she is reliable and professional in her organisation and very approachable. Pip is flexible in her teaching style and able to help our daughter who has specific learning needs to understand concepts she has struggled with until now. I would thoroughly recommend her.
Thanks Karen - it's been great working with her!
From Dinah
Oliver is enjoying his maths tuition. The one to one tuition seems to suit him well. He has settled into the routine & is keen for his next lesson.
Thank you also for clarifying your approach with me.
Best Regards Dinah Hughes
Thanks Dinah. Oliver is a pleasure to teach and is doing really well!
Pip
From Jon
My son found Philippa, a breath of fresh air, in fact he was reinvigorated and learnt so much from her. She managed to get him a A in his rest AS and a C overall for his A2 Thank you Philippa.
Thanks Jon - so pleased with James' progress. All the best!
From Debbie
Pip is an excellent tutor. She is very knowledgeable as well as warm and easy to get along with. She has thoroughly covered all the important aspects of the course in a very short time and greatly increased my son's confidence going into his exams. We would absolutey recommend Pip to anyone.
Thanks Debbie!
From Alice
From Martin
My son only had a few sessions with Pip before his exam, but she helped him improve his grades from an E to a C for his AS exam. She has an enthusiastic but calm and structured approach, and we can recommend her to anyone wanting to improve their grades

From Deborah
Pip has been a fantastic tutor for our son, who she helped to prepare and pass the Bluecoats entrance examination. She was always punctual, friendly and engaging in her approach, we would highly recommend Pip to anyone looking for a tutor.
Thanks Deb! So happy that Harry has passed.
From Kim
Good tutor, patient with student and puntual. Will recommend her to anyone.
Thanks Kim!
From Chris
Pip is very punctual and provides a superb tutoring service. She is passionate about teaching and learning. Pip always gives comprehensive feedback at the end of each session.
From Karine
We are delighted with Philippa! She always shows up on time and prepared. She is very patient, and I am hoping her enthusiasm for the subject will rub off on my daughter! We could not ask for a better tutor.
From Melanie
Pip was a fantatstic tutor, unfortunately she has been offered a job abroad and has to leave immediately, this is not ideal as my son has exams in only a few weeks. I know it cannot be avoided but it is very inconvienient to have to start with someone else so close to the exams.
I spent 5 months in the Bahamas at the start of this year working as a tutor. I am now back in the UK and available to tutor.
From Carolyn
Phillipa has been brilliant. Her teaching manner is friendly and flexible and my daughter has really enjoyed her time learning from her. Her methods are easy to grasp and easy for us as parents to support our daughter. I have no problem in recommending her as a tutor.
