Phil has been an incredible tutor for my son, Henry. From the very start, Henry has really appreciated Phil’s kind and patient approach. One of the things Henry values most (in Henry's words) is that Phil is flexible in his teaching – he shifts his technique and perspective depending on what works best for Henry, which keeps him engaged and motivated. Henry has gained so much confidence in English that it has now become his favourite subject at school. It’s clear that this transformation comes from the better tools and deeper understanding Phil has given him. After each lesson, Henry feels good about what he has learnt, and he is always ready and enthusiastic for the next session. I am truly grateful for Phil’s support, teaching, and belief in Henry. He hasn’t just helped with subject knowledge, but has taught techniques and approaches that Henry is now applying in school with great success. Another aspect I really appreciate is the thoughtful feedback Phil provides after every lesson. For example, a recent note looked like this: Lesson Feedback What was covered - Continued with extracts from 1984 - Focused on analysing language - Worked through a model answer and independent response How it went “Some really good quote selections from the text. When explaining a quote, it can be useful to take the time to explain the imagery to help add more detail to your answer and then link this to the reader.” This kind of feedback is so valuable - it helps Henry reflect on what went well and shows him where he can grow, while also keeping me in the loop about his progress. Phil's encouragement, adaptability, and clear teaching style have made a huge difference to Henry’s confidence and enjoyment of English.
