Hi everybody!

My name is Philip and I currently work in the finance industry as a Vice President for a leading investment bank. I hold a masters degree in Financial Mathematics from the University of Chicago as well as an undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Education. As an industry practicioner, I have skills in finance related topics such as fixed income/equity markets, portfolio management, trading, Python programming, and more. I've also studied most undergraduate level math courses, including graduate level quantitative finance courses, so I have a solid background of mathematics experience.

Earlier in my career before entering into industry, I've had experience as a math teacher at a leading academy in NYC and have taught students at all levels including elementary, JHS, high school as well as university students and adults. As an undergraduate, I also served as a teachers assistant (TA) for Calculus 1 & 2. Thus I am very passionate about math, it's applications to finance, and teaching it to others.

If you, or anyone you know needs help in any elementary, junior high, or high school math subject, including test prep, as well as applied finance related courses, exams, or work please reach out to me. If you have any questions or inquiries don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks so much and I look forward to helping you!
Philip

Knowledgeable and Patient tutor.

Philip is an outstanding tutor. He has taught me so many things about geometry that not even my geometry teacher had taught me. Because of Philip, I have gained more confidence in my test taking skills. He was very helpful towards me and he cleared up everything that I thought was confusing in Geometry. Not only is Philip a wonderful tutor but he is also great motivator. He had a lot of patience towards me and I truly appreciate that. He even helped me memorize all of the geometry formulas which truly helped me throughout the Geometry Common Core Regents Exam. He is very kind, supportive,inspirational, and committed, to his students. He taught me so many skills for geometry and it truly helped! He helped me fulfill my journey on passing the Regents exam which I am truly thankful for. Philip is an absolutely amazing tutor! :)

Great Math SAT tutor!

Philip explained how to approach SAT Math problems. Gave me confidence for my upcoming SAT by reinforcing the most important concepts. I feel less anxious about taking the SAT now.

Good tutoring session

Philip was patient with my son, professional and able to break down the steps for him. My son is not the most engaged student but Philip was able to keep him engaged. Will likely schedule another session soon.

Brian, 1 lesson with Philip

Very knowledgeable and he's patient with my son. Son likes him.

Philip was very patient with my son. At the end, my son felt like he learned a lot in his first hour. Will definitely be using Philip each week for here on out.

Patient, knowledgeable and perceptive tutor

Helped to summarize, review and clarify material prior to my midterm. Was very very patient when explaining topics I didn't understand, was excellent at quickly summarizing concepts I grasped, but needed to solidify.

Knowledgeable tutor

My daughter had one lesson with Philip and was pleased with his methods. Thought he was knowledgeable and clear in his explanations of the material and also just a personable guy. He came prepared and got to work right away with her. We will be seeing Philip again soon for future lessons

Smart and affable

Philip went over Geometry proofs with my 9th grader. He was very clear and interactive. He has the ability to make difficult concepts easy. He was affable and fun tutor to work with. My son loved the class and will continue lessons with him.

Geometry Review with Philip M. for upcoming regent

Philip helped me understand problems in geometry, what I thought was so hard Philip cleared up for me and now what seemed difficult is so easy. He gave me a good understanding of what I was doing and how to do it. He is patient and very knowledgeable. If you need a good tutor in Brooklyn look no further. I highly recommend him

Awesome!

Philip took the assignment right away and on that same day he traveled to my office to work with my 18 year old so he could prepare for his freshman college assessment test and my son thereafter took it and did very well. Philip was excellent.
