Phil has been a brilliant tutor and we have worked with him on and off over the last fifteen months when my son has needed the support with his maths. He has tailored every session around my son's needs, he has given me regular updates on what they have covered and why and sought updates from me to better support my son. My son has always found Phil's sessions engaging and helpful, and he has really enjoyed working with him. Would highly recommend Phil to other students. Thanks Phil!
