"I worked with Phillip for every math and science course throughout high school. Phillip also tutored me for my SAT and was widely knowledgeable in the required content and provided his own study guides, materials, and practice exams. He goes above and beyond to search out extra materials, knows seemingly every niche topic, and has multiple teaching approaches to cater to your strengths. Phillip is enjoyable to work with, empathetic, tolerant, offers insightful advice, and dedicates himself to your success. He comes to know your goals, capabilities, and personality and incorporates these in his teaching, and in doing so, he helped me to achieve every academic goal I set for myself in high school."

He is very good at recognizing skills and problems that I often find difficult and helps me to build a solid foundation to better my abilities. I think it helps that Phil is readily available all the time. This availability is so comforting when I am freaking out about tests." - Anonymous Student Survey From 2014 SAT Class "Phillip was so helpful being patient with me and working with me after classes while I was struggling. He is awesome and the methods were great to use. He has clearly mastered the skills to teach this class very well.

"I used Phillip for all of my STEM classes in junior/senior year of high school and I can wholeheartedly say that without him I would have have done as well as I did. Phillip did a great job at explaining concepts in a different way than my teacher to help me understand, and also paced sessions so that we covered all the material, but never felt rushed. He was a great resource, especially when studying for a big test, because he provided practice questions and online resources that he had from teaching these subjects himself. I also appreciated that he would take time out of his busy schedule to answer questions outside of our tutoring sessions over text . It definitely calmed me down in stressful moments the night before exams."
-Katie Van Arsdel, Memorial High School '23 Valedictorian, Vanderbilt University "Phillip is a phenomenal tutor whom I have personally recommended to family friends. He has extensive knowledge in many subject areas and a gift for explaining material in a digestible way. The skills and concepts I learned from Phillip not only helped me in high school, but have proven valuable even in college." -Ellen Baik, Memorial High School '23 Valedictorian, University of Texas at Austin "My experience being tutored by Phillip was positive, enriching, and incredibly influential in my success during my junior and senior years of high school. Before working with Phillip I struggled to understand class materials in my science and math classes. He also helped improve my SAT score by almost 200 points. After almost two years of working with Phillip, my grades improved greatly and I accredit most of my success in physics, chemistry, and calculus to his help. As a student at Memorial High School, I had a rigorous course load and was in a very competitive environment and the tutoring I received from Phillip helped me to stay on top my my coursework, pass all of my AP tests, and manage my courses." -Lota Nwaukwa, Memorial High School '23, University of Texas at Austin Online Student Testimonials

- Aidan D'Silva, SAT 1500, Nobel International School Algarve '23, KU Leauven "Phillip's online coaching improved my SAT scores significantly and I really liked how each lesson was focused on a specific topic with homework and assignments that reviewed those topics. It made it so that I was able to identify information and made if really stick in my mind on the day of the test" -Benjamin Lyon, SAT 310 Point Improvement, Natick High School '17, |
