Hello! I’m Phillip, a Johns Hopkins University graduate with a B.A. in Mathematics and Philosophy and a master’s in education from the University of Pennsylvania.

As a high school math teacher, I often hear students say math is tough, complex, or even unenjoyable.

Hello! I’m Phillip, a Johns Hopkins University graduate with a B.A. in Mathematics and Philosophy and a master’s in education from the University of Pennsylvania.

As a high school math teacher, I often hear students say math is tough, complex, or even unenjoyable. My goal is to understand your learning style, strengths, weaknesses, and preferences to guide you on your mathematical journey. In our sessions, I start by listening to grasp your thought process, then use a mix of guided and self-practice to help you master challenging topics. Lessons are paced to your speed, background, and needs, whether you prefer a deep dive or a quick review for an upcoming exam.

My experience includes:
- 5 years tutoring SAT Math, ACT Math, and competition math (AMC8, AMC10, AMC12, AIME).
- 2 years teaching 5th-8th grade math and 3 years privately tutoring Algebra II to AP Calculus AB/BC.
- Teaching university-level precalculus as a sole instructor.
- TA experience in Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, Calculus II, and Probability/Statistics at JHU.

My exam scores are:
- AMC12: 108/150
- AIME: 5/15
- ACT: 35/36 composite (Math: 36/36)
- AP Calculus BC: 5
- GRE: 167 V, 170Q, 5.0AWA
