Very Patient, Competent, and Thorough
I must say that I am extremely pleased with the well structured and engaging approach taken by Philip He immediately administered a pretest, to identify the key learning needs of my child. The entire session was interactive and left us feeling like this is truly money well spent. We initially booked one hour, but the session was so productive and yielded such good results, that we extemded it beyond an hour.

Knowledgeable Math Tutor
Phillip was able to hit the ground running with my daughter during their tutoring session. He explained some of the ACT Math concepts that she didn't understand. He also explained how to use her calculator properly to calculate Math problems. I would highly recommend him.

Super relatable and easy to talk to.
My daughter was reluctant to get tutoring for the SAT. Philip broke down the benefits of scoring high and I think my daughter was impressed. He's super relatable and was easy to talk to. My daughter got more out of our first session than she thought she would. Thank you Philip, looking forward to next week.

Fun and engaging lessons
Philip has been great with my 5 year old son so far. We’re doing a series of ongoing tutoring, and the morning after the first lesson my son asked if he’d have class with Mr Smith again that day and was upset he had to actually wait another day until the next session. Philip is making the lessons fun while also challenging, and is able to point out ways to improve without making my son feel upset or frustrated like he is when I point out the same thing! He says “5 stars”, and that his favorite part of the lessons is “everything!”
