Phil is an outstanding tutor. He understands the syllabus really well, so can identify what skills are needed in the different papers to maximise marks and has worked with me to see where my weaknesses are so we know where to focus. He sets me homework each week, which is helpful, but doesn’t overload me. He prepares well for each lesson and his lessons are well structured and he maximises the time we have together. He’s significantly improved my confidence in my speaking, so I’m not scared to try where previously I was worried I’d make mistakes. He makes the lessons enjoyable and uses games to help teach. I would definitely recommend him and am thankful that he’s made German easier for me. My results have improved by one grade already and I’m confident it will continue to do so.
Phil is truly one of the best tutors you can find—professional, reliable, and thoughtful. I highly recommend him!
My German tutor, Phil, is exceptionally professional and dedicated to teaching. I’m deeply impressed by his thorough preparation before each lesson and his thoughtful planning for future study. Thanks to his guidance, my German has improved significantly. Thank you, Phil!
Phil is very encouraging and supportive and is an expert at getting a bit more out of you than you thought possible! Very enjoyable.
Phil has really helped my son prepare for his GCSE french exams. He took him on with only a short time to the exams but has really targeted his approach. He is very friendly, encouraging, and patient and I've been really impressed with how supportive and committed he has been to seeing him make progress. My son has been very happy with his progress and his confidence has increased every lesson.
Phil is encouraging, patient and supportive. He was very well prepared for the lesson and had taken account of my requests in his planning. Excellent.
