“Phillip was a perfect tutor for our son in high school. He was patient and very good at explaining things in just the right way to help my son understand the subject. He was flexible with my son's sport schedule, polite and caring. We couldn't have asked for a better tutor. Thanks for everything Phillip!”

“My son was having problems with his Precalculus class understanding what to do when trying to work the problems. Philip went over the unit circle and determining quadrants, he took the time to explain what my son needed to know and was very patient throughout the session. He asked questions to make sure my son understood the material and explained concepts clearly. I would highly recommend him as a tutor. Will be contacting him for some more tutoring lessons.”
— Evon, 7 lessons with Philip
“My son needed some one-to-one help to explain some hard concepts. Philip helped a lot and my son really enjoyed working with him and it is showing in his recent grades.”
— Tara, 7 lessons with Philip
“Philip is super relatable and easy to understand. He breaks things down into such understandable ways. Anything I struggle with, Philip can explain in a minute and I fully understand it. He's great!!! Have used before and will ALWAYS use him for my math classes. He helped with Algebra/Trig and now Calculus. A+++++”
— George, 2 lessons with Philip
“My daughter had one lesson with Philip for AP stats. Every child learns differently outside of a classroom. My daughter needs the one on one teaching. She is very shy and does not like to ask questions during class time. Philip was able to assimilate to the needs of my daughter in order for her to understand the material. He is very nice and patient.”
— Kim, 1 lesson with Philip
“Philip has been working with my 13 year old son to review Algebra 1 concepts. His explanations are clear and thoughtful. He is punctual and efficient. A great find. We have been very happy with his support.”
— David, 142 lessons with Philip
“Philip does a great job of explaining the subject material, and my son expressed appreciation for how the lesson was taught. Great tutor!”
— Eric, 47 lessons with Philip
“Philip is very polite and punctual other than just being a really nice tutor for me. We have had success in understanding each other, he definitely knows how to find a way to explain hard topics. He’s provided significant effort in helping me pass my pre-calculus class, given that in the beginning of our sessions I was an absolute zero in math. So, I would recommend Philip to anyone who cares about their time and want to see results from tutor sessions. By the way, looking at the tutors market, I would say that the price Philip set for his sessions is more than fair, so for affordable price you get to learn from a person as professional as other people asking 150+$ an hour.”

“My son Jack will continue to use Philip for the rest of the year and any time he needs help with Math/Science. Tutorials on graphing and use of the graphing calculator has made homework periods much more productive. My son likes him so I like him!!”
— Gina, 18 lessons with Philip
“My son Jack takes Mathematics for Business & Social Sciences at a local community college. Finding simple and compound interest and then reviewing both the vertex and standard forms of quadratic equations and their graphs, helped my 17-year-old stay on course. Jack will continue to use Philip for the rest of the year and any time he needs help with math/Science. My son likes him so I like him.”
— Gina, 18 lessons with Philip

Philip is wonderful!”

“Philip arrived on time. He and my son worked through 4 sections of general chem in a hour. My son is now optimistic about class tomorrow. Excellent instructor we plan to keep for the next 4 years.”
— Aidan, 66 lessons with Philip
“Philip has tutored my daughter for over a year. She's had a history of challenge with math throughout the years. Philip is the BEST tutor she's ever had. As of yesterday, my daughter has passed her college exam final in Finite Math. She's officially done! Phillip is incredibly intuitive and tailors his way of teaching to the individual student. In the past we've hired other tutor's recommended by other friends, who have not been a good match. He is not a one size fits all tutor. Phillip has taken the 40 minute plus drive to tutor my daughter twice a week for the last 3 months. Phillip is the real deal. He's a math stud!”
— Lisa, 32 lessons with Philip
“On a day’s notice he was able to help me with the trigonometry concepts in my geometry class. He gave me the right balance of guidance and support to help me figure out the work on my own. I will definitely use him again.”
— Elijah, 22 lessons with Philip
“Covered business statistics material and Philip was quick to answer our questions. We worked on midterm review for a college course and Philip clearly explained all of the confusions I had and after the session I had all of my questions answered. He also showed up on time and was kind and polite.”
— William, 1 lesson with Philip
“Philip has tutored our son primarily in high school Hon Chemistry this year. My son finds it very helpful. Philip has been extremely flexible and accomodating for our son's always changing and complicated schedule, which has really been great as we have not been able to stick to regular times/days. Philip is also very good at communicating by text as has been very useful given all the schedule changes we've had to make.”
— Harris, 33 lessons with Philip

“Philip P. is a patient and knowledgable man who really knows his stuff! He made complex problems seem as easy as elementary math and shows passion and enthusiasm for his work. I would have never made it through college algebra without his aid.”
— Kyle, 15 lessons with Philip
“Philip tutored my daughter in a marathon three-hour session for her AP Stats final. She went from not really understanding the concepts to doing very well on her final. Philip is reliable, very knowledgeable, and flexible. My daughter felt the tutoring really helped. It was worth every penny.”

“Philip was very patient and found a way for me to understand. Great lesson. I feel that I'm on my way to understanding Geometry.”
— Alex, 2 lessons with Philip
“Philip did a great job helping my son with his Calculus class. Math is a subject that makes him nervous and Philip's calm kind demeanor really put him at ease, and helped in general with his overall feeling about the class. As a parent, it was nice to have somebody to count on who really knew the subject material and had such a reassuring and positive approach.”
— April, 12 lessons with Philip
“I get very frustrated with Math. Since working with Philip I have been doing really well in Math (just got an A on my report card). He is very patient and explains the problems really well. There is also relief knowing that when I don't get a math concept at school, Philip will be able to explain it to me in our next tutoring session. Truly recommend him!”
— Matthew, 98 lessons with Philip

“Phillip helped my daughter in 1.5 HOURS to understand her math from the past 3 weeks in this short amount of time. I could hear her interacting confidently & he didn't answer for her but walked through to the end & said so whats your answer. She had a smile on her face & no longer dreading it ! Thank you Phillip TRULY”

— Chandra, 72 lessons with Philip
“I met up with Philip twice for my Statistics class, and we talked about probabilities. He initially helped me understand what I was having trouble with. Also note that you should schedule with him early on so you can save a timeslot and also because he plans his whole week on Sundays”

— Brian, 17 lessons with Philip

— Leighton, 3 lessons with Philip
“Philip is smart, efficient and easy to work with. My son felt that his time with Philip was well spent. He helped solidify conceptual understanding of very challenging concepts. He was patient, and used lots of analogies to help him with the concepts. My son left the session feeling confident. Philip was responsive, flexible, and got back to us immediately with a meeting time and place. My son learned a great deal during his time with Philip. I will definitely use Philip again!”
— Robin, 5 lessons with Philip

— Wendy, 71 lessons with Philip
“We made plans to see Philip on a Tuesday, after having set the weekends for tutoring, even though we needed him the preceding weekend (we worked around his schedule), and arranged to see him for several hours on Tuesday. At the last minute, he changed the session to one hour, which is of no value to us. We are very disappointed.”
— Ryan, 1 lesson with Philip
“Philip has been tutoring my son for several weeks now and we have already seen amazing results. My son comes home and tells me that Philip explains everything so clearly and easily to him. He also mentioned that Philip goes out of his way to help him with other math subjects. Philip is by far the best tutor we have worked with!”
— Reyna, 10 lessons with Philip

— Socorro, 130 lessons with Philip
“My son is a million places at once even when he sits still and yet Phillip so easily helps him focus and plow thru all issues with his school work.

I can't say enough good things about Phillip.”

“Our family was very fortunate to have Phillip tutor our 2 children for the past few years! He is so patient, and was able to be an effective tutor for our son and daughter. His kind and caring manner was very helpful. He was amazing helping my son with his SAT preparation, when he was unable to enroll in a traditional prep program due to a busy athletic schedule. He really works with our schedule! We are looking forward to working with him again when school starts in the fall!”
