Hello! My name is Philippe, and I am a civil engineering graduate from Princeton University, where I graduated magna cum laude. I have a deep passion for mathematics and education. Over the years, I have worked extensively with students from elementary to high school, helping them master math concepts and prepare for major exams, including the SAT, ACT, SHSAT, ISEE, TACHS, and Hunter Prep. As the owner and director of several math tutoring centers, I have developed expertise in using structured, step-by-step instructional methods that help students build strong foundational skills and gain confidence in their abilities. My approach is highly individualized: I assess each student’s strengths and areas for growth, then create a customized learning plan to address their unique needs.

I am proud to have helped many students significantly improve their school grades and achieve higher scores on standardized tests. My teaching philosophy centers on patience, encouragement, and making math engaging and approachable for every learner. I use a combination of guided practice, targeted review, and positive reinforcement to help students overcome challenges and reach their goals. Whether your child needs homework help, wants to strengthen core skills, or is preparing for a big test, I am committed to providing clear explanations and a supportive environment where questions are always welcome. My goal is to help each student feel proud of their progress and empowered to tackle any math challenge with confidence!
