Oxford educated high school teacher offering online English lessons for GCSE, 11+ or independent school scholarship examinations. I also teach Latin and Ancient Greek from beginner to Oxbridge level.

He has really helped me with my English. I really enjoy his lessons.

Phill has been amazing with my daughter in the final run up to her GCSE’s.
She was feeling really apprehensive about Latin following her mocks however following a few months tutoring with Phill she has a renewed confidence.
Phill has helped her to understand the required techniques to be able to answer all questions on prose and verse rather than just trying to learn things parrot fashion. He sends a comprehensive summary following each session which helps her to reflect and drive forwards for the next lesson.
The best accolade though is that she has come out of the exams stating she’s smashed them. Thank you so much Phill, you’re a star

Best tutor you will come across. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds having had Phil as her teacher due to his clear explanations, great learning strategies, and absolute passion for his subject. She says that if she had him for all her subjects, she’d be set up for life!

I have known Phill for over 15 years, both as a colleague but also as a friend.

Phill is a dedicated, thoughtful, and highly effective educator who consistently strives for excellence in everything that he does. His subject knowledge is exceptional, and he brings lessons to life with clarity, creativity, and relevance, engaging learners of all abilities.

What sets Phill apart, is his deep care for the success and well-being of his pupils. He takes time to understand each student’s needs, tailoring his teaching to support their individual progress. His encouraging and calm manner builds confidence, and he always fosters a positive, respectful learning environment. Phill is the kind of tutor who goes above and beyond—setting high expectations while providing the support and motivation needed to reach them.

Pupils not only achieve with Phill; they enjoy learning. He inspires them to take pride in their work, to think critically, and to communicate with clarity and precision. Many of his students make rapid progress under his guidance, often exceeding their targets and developing a genuine love of English.

I recommend Phill without hesitation as a tutor of the highest calibre. Any student would be fortunate to learn with him.
