Biography

Philip has been tutoring privately since he left Oxford in 2003, where he read Classics and English. He has tutored almost a hundred pupils of a variety of ages and abilities. He focuses on Latin and Greek and English.

After a brief diversion into the legal world, he began life as a freelance novelist and journalist. His first novel for children, 'The Other Book', was published in 2008, and his second, 'The Liberators', followed in 2010, receiving excellent reviews.

Personal Approach

I use a mixture of humour and rigorous learning and also aim not just to focus on the exam, but to broaden the pupils' general cultural outlook. As I am a freelance I can be very flexible with regard to suiting the needs of the client.

Testimonials

12/03/2012: Charlie enjoyed his session with Philip and it looks as he learned a lot. (Mother of Year 7 English and History student)

17/10/2011: “It was a pleasure for us to work with Philip.” (Mother of year 8 boy, History &English)

''Thank you for all your help so far - [my son] is really enjoying the sessions as it's finally beginning to make sense to him....!! (Common Entrance Latin)

''[My daughter] really appreciated Philip. I think we did not allot enough time on the first day but motored on on the second day. He is a wonderfully enthusiastic fellow. I think we would love to have him around maybe once or twice before the exams. [My daughter] is insecure about her skills in English and he is just the ticket for approaching these exams with confidence.

Thank you for your help in all this stuff.'' (GCSE English)
