Outstanding Math Teacher with Decades of Teaching Experience
EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION is at the heart of teaching. A deep knowledge of the subject matter must be there BUT if all you are is good in math you're not a teacher! I believe that teaching is about listening and observing how the learner is reacting to what is being said and adjusting your communication to their learning style.
I am a retired math teacher from the Rochester, New York area. I have taught at the middle school, high school and college level. I also taught student teachers how to...

Outstanding, patient, kind, and brilliant!!
Phillip is an excellent teacher and a wonderful human being. My son has some learning difficulties and he teaches him knowing that not all kids learn things the same way. My son is fully engaged when he is learning with Him. We absolutely Love Phillip!! My son says he has learned more from him than any teacher he has ever had. If every teacher was like him, all kids would love to learn. He is a special gift to his students. I highly recommend him.

Excellent Teacher!!!
Philip and my son got off to a great start. My son said that he is able to identify his mistakes and is able to see and better comprehend the problem and with the techniques that he learned, just on this day alone, is going to help him moving forward. We highly recommend Philip and we believe that his individualized and structured approach will help any student.

Very knowledgeable and explains in a way that’s easy to understand.
I completed an online Calculus class with Philip. I could not have done it without his help. I’m highly recommend him! His availability was great with my schedule. Thank you, Philip.

Great lesson with Phillip
Philip was able to accommodate us on short notice to help my daughter who is taking Pre-calc over the summer and was having difficulty with a topic. The lesson went well and my daughter thought he was very helpful!

Great tutor, great experience
Philip has been providing calculus tutoring for my son for several months. His knowledge and ability to teach are exceptional. However, what really stands out is Philip's ability to connect and engage with my son. I would highly recommend Philip.

Wonderful tutor
My daughter was reluctant to do after school tutoring. With Philip's sense of humor, energy, and patience, she actually looks forward to her Algebra 1 tutoring! He knows when to hold back if he thinks my daughter has "information overload". A passionate teacher with the ability to really get through to the learner.

Much More Than A Tutor -- He Really Gets It!
Middle School Honors Algebra and Honors Geometry are tough, even for the best students. The challenge is often compounded by teachers who have difficulty in three key areas: (1) explaining concepts to students;, (2) teaching students how to "think"; and (3) properly preparing students for tests and FSA exams. Phil excels in all three areas. My daughter was struggling with Honors Algebra during the second semester of 7th grade. We tried three different tutors who were adequate enough to get her through the rest of the year. When the 8th Grade school year rolled around, however, we got smarter. My daughter began working with Phil from Day 1 in Honors Geometry. What a difference! Phil has the ability to relate to students. He built an outstanding rapport with my daughter through communication, trust, respect, and humor. Phil not only took the time to get to know my daughter, but he also bonded with me, my wife, and the rest of my family. My daughter worked with Phil the entire school year and made straight A's in Honors Geometry. Phil not only went over concepts with her but, more importantly, gave her the tools and guidance she needed to be able to "think" on her own and properly approach problem-solving. My daughter was actually able to apply many of these same strategies in her other classes. Phil is extremely patient, has a great sense of humor, and is a true people person. My daughter looks forward to each session with him. Phil is also readily available for special sessions and extra preparation prior to tests and exams. I am thrilled to have Phil as my daughter's tutor and give him my highest recommendation. He really gets it!
