Much more importantly, my son is now motivated to study the subject further in college. I am immensely thankful to Phillip for his unique way of teaching based upon his very special perceptiveness and sensitivity, which makes his every single lesson such a valuable time of communication and of simultaneously building knowledge and self-confidence.. Phillip is not 'any' tutor who teaches well. He is truly a GREAT mentor who can lead his student to success in many different kinds and levels.
