Reviews
He is trustworthy and has an outstanding ability to connect with young people. He put my daughter at ease and within a few minutes she opened up to share her work product so that they could then meticulously identify areas where she could improve. He left her feeling motivated to work hard and she was happier than I have seen her in several weeks. She worked toward the assignment after this lesson concluded with a renewed positive attitude. Highly recommend.

Select jumped into an AP literature, essay a few days before it was due and supported my daughter with time together her evidence to connect to her thesis statement. He was incredibly hands-on and supportive of her work. I?m definitely looking forward to using phillip again!

My 9th-grader began working with Phillip on SAT preparation three months ago and enjoyed her experience. Phillip explains concepts clearly, offers plenty of practice examples and supplementary materials (that he authored!) to reinforce knowledge. Not only does Phillip prepare my daughter for the test, he also helps her build solid foundation, which tremendously boosts her confidence! Look forward to working with Phillip in the future.

Phillip is a patient, creative, and very logical person. He is always prepared and very knowledgeable. I am a STEM person and English was never my favorite subject. To top it all, my internship made me miss one day of school during which I had the English class. With Phillip I caught up on my classmates and I analyzed the texts in a completely different way than I was doing it in class. His way made sense and it helped me remember the books I read. With his help I became so much better at analysis and essay writing and start having A+ s. It was not grade inflation. I really became a stronger student and to my parents? amazement I scored a 5 on the AP language. I continued preparing with Phillip for my AP Literature test. I scored great on the pre-tests and felt confident after taking the AP Lit test. Thank you so much!

Phillip is extremely adept in helping both of my high school children in English essay writing. He helps them organize the essays into well structured pieces with excellent flow and syntax.

Phillip has been tutoring both my high school sons for the last year and a half. They are each different writers so I can write from the perspective of two different types of tutoring that Phillip provides. For my older son, he is able to help in fine tuning and teaching the more nuanced touches of a finished paper. For my younger son, he helped greatly with organization and structuring his papers. After just a few lessons, my younger son has improved 10 fold. He is more confident and earning As in English! Phillip is always incredibly responsive and accommodating with online appointment times. He always gives a thoughtful and detailed update after each lesson. Probably the best compliment though is that both my boys think he is the best tutor they have ever had. According to them, he is the GOAT!

He?s nice and he knows what he?s talking about. He preps before each session based on my goals and we use our time wisely. He then gives a summary after each time we meet with things I can work on.

He is the best. Very knowledgeable and insightful. He took the time to understand what I needed and coached me every step of the way. Phillip was available to help.

Phillip was very helpful to my son who was writing an essay on a novella. He helped him find evidence supporting his thesis and tie his ideas together in an organized way. My son reported back to me, ?he?s really teaching me how to write .? We are very impressed with Phillip?s instruction.
- Lenore A. from New York, NY
Phillip helped my son with corrections and improvements on one of his AP English Language essays. Phillip analyzed his writing and gave him thoughtful & knowledgeable feedback on ways to improve his essay as well as helpful advice on how to improve his writing skills. My son came away from the lesson feeling very motivated. We are very grateful to Phillip for his help.

- Sameer S. from Ann Arbor, MI
Phillip tutored my son for one of his history papers. Phillip was not given the topic until the last minute, yet he offered great comments and stimulated thoughts for my son to go for next step. Phillip was very patient and really mastered the skill of effective commutations.
- Sophie Y. from Trenton, NJ
My son had to write an essay on the Canterbury Tales for a sophomore English class. Phillip was prepared for the session and had reviewed the tales in advance. He helped with analysis, adding supporting details, and organizing the main points. I would unequivocally recommend him.

We went over my AP Lang rhetorical analysis and Mr.P gave me some really beneficial insight about my writing. He also provided other prep materials to help me prepare for the test in May.

- Jaye S. from Mission Viejo, CA
My daughter got SAT reading lessons with Phillip. After 1st lesson, she already has changed her views on the SAT test. Phillip taught strategies and she can apply it to the test immediately. My kid and I are satisfied with his lessons.
- Sumun K. from Novi, MI
We've tried several tutors before, including Varsity Tutors. :) Phillip is outstanding. He works together with your child analyzing every aspect of the question and answers options. Unlike other tutors who spend first 30 minutes talking about how great they are, he started with introduction of strategies and techniques to be used when working on the SAT. We all are very pleased with the process, no wasted time, very encouraging and engaging studies. If you are looking for a professional to really help your child, Phillip should be your choice.
