I am a certified teacher living in Rockford with three master's degrees; one in Aerospace Engineering, one in mathematics, and one in theology.

I was a practicing Aerospace Engineer for five years before I began teaching numerous math and science courses for the past ten years at a Christian secondary school in Maple Grove.

I am competent and able to teach any high school math or science course and most collegiate math, physics, and engineering courses. My specialty is AP Calculus AB and BC, in which I have been an AP test grader and I can provide over 700 pages of personal curriculum and supplementary notes.

My students say that I have a very down to earth and easy going personality, which makes the learning environment more comfortable and more effective. Also, my schedule is flexible to meet your needs. Sessions are usually held during weekday evenings or on Saturday.

I am a member of the American Association of Physics Teachers, American Helicopter Society, American Physical Society, Mathematical Association of America, and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

Typical clients:
High school and college students wanting to maintain and improve their academic performance.
Home-schoolers.
Students preparing for the ACT or SAT tests.

-If you cancel at least 2 hours before your scheduled lesson, there will be no charge and we can reschedule for a better time.

-If you do not show up within 15 minutes of the lesson start time, I reserve the right to consider it a ‘no-show’ and charge a cancellation fee of 100% of the lesson price.

-If you are canceling because of an emergency or similar, I will take that into consideration when assessing a fee.

Excellent tutor!

We have tried other tutors for my daughter studying Pre-Calc. We tried Philip and were immediately impressed. He explains problems and lessons and the reasoning so my daughter is able to comprehend. Glad we found him!

Lane, 2 lessons with Philip

High quality tutor

Philip has been helping our high school senior daughter with AP Calculus for a while. He is good at explaining the things she doesn't understand. He's very knowledgeable and she really likes to work with him.

Helpful and knowledgeable tutor

Philip is a great help to my son in his study of advanced math and science. He alerts him to helpful programs, has great insight, and patiently works through tough concepts. Thank you.

Mary, 6 lessons with Philip

Great tutor

Phillip was a huge help with my daughter’s Multivariate Calculus course. She was having trouble with a problem that used a specific software and he helped her figure it out.

Christopher, 1 lesson with Philip

Helpful and experienced

Phillip taught me about fractional integration and went above and beyond when explaining. Definitely worth the money for a session and I will be scheduling again.

Lilya, 2 lessons with Philip

Very Knowledgeable!

Phillip did a great job explaining the material my son didn’t understand. Looking forward to working with him consistently to get my son understanding Physics better.

Stephanie, 1 lesson with Philip

Knowledgeable tutor.

Philip made us feel comfortable, he listened to what my daughter's needs were. He is always early and finished the lesson well, giving extra things for her to work on.

Cynthia, 8 lessons with Philip

Amazing!

Philip has been able to help my student out of the "red zone" in high school physics. A "B+" on a retake test and a "B" on the most recent test. This last test is the first time all year that my student does not have to do a retake.

Alita, 12 lessons with Philip

Friendly and knowledgeable in the area of Calc.

Great discussion and plan to begin tutoring with our son. Problem worksheets provided to aid in practice. Great to see areas of need identified, we look forward to working more with Philip.

Scott, 3 lessons with Philip

Philip is very patient and very helpful!

He helped me get ready for a test. He gave me confidence and walked through steps with me so I could understand and know why I was doing each step. I appreciate the time that he tutored me. Thank you!
