  • "Phil was an outstanding tutor. He was extremely helpful in teaching my son various strategies to use on the different sections of the ACT test. He always had a very positive & encouraging approach to the test, which led to my son staying calm throughout this stressful process. He was very pleasant to deal with and I would highly recommend him to anyone preparing for either the ACT or SAT."

  • "Our daughter had a great experience with Phil. They worked together for only a short time but he immediately knew where and how they needed to focus, was very clear in his explanations and succeeded in making a stressful Junior Year second semester into a really valuable learning experience, filled with humor and positive energy. He raised her math SAT score by over 100 points, worked with her on the Literature subject test and - most importantly - gave her techniques and skills for problem-solving and analysis as she moves forward in her education."

  • "Phil, who prepped my daughter for the ACT for months, was kind, structured, approachable, reachable on a moment's notice, well organized, and flexible with Fiona's learning needs. Phil anticipated my needs as well; he would remind me of the different schools breaks that may interrupt our weekly sessions so that Fiona's prep was as seamless as possible. Phil always provided me with a follow up report via email as to the progress they were making and the hurdles they were overcoming. Most of all Phil gave Fiona not only the tools to do her best but also the confidence to succeed. His emotional intelligence was just the right fit for my daughter, without him she would have never been able to score from an initial score in the low twenties to a thirty one! We will forever be grateful to Phil for Fiona's success."
