With Phil’s help, I was able to end the semester in honors precalc strong, despite only having started sessions with him a month before winter break! He is extremely knowledgeable in the foundations and principles of math at any level and strives to help me understand the concepts and material rather than just memorize it. He not only creates an understanding environment to learn, but personalizes his teaching to the student in front of him by keeping individualized notes about each session that allow him to seamlessly resume teaching the concepts being reviewed. Using his teachings and notes, it allows me to grasp complex concepts by using them as a reference. Phil’s an amazing teacher to work with and I’m forever grateful I go to him! Thanks to him, I’ve started to regain my confidence in math that I haven’t had in years. My grades in math have only continued to improve thanks to to him, so I seriously recommend that anyone considering tutoring in math check out his services! Thanks Phil! :)

I met up with Phil after I had been struggling for half a semester. With his help I was able to pass my class and understand the materials fully. Phil was very accommodating with my schedule and it was a great experience all around. I would recommend Phil for anyone struggling in math.

I had an amazing experience working with Phil during my Math 160 course. Discrete mathematics is notoriously difficult, and Phil somehow found a way to make it digestible and straightforward. If I ever felt uneasy about a concept, Phil could see that and continued breaking it down until I got it. It's clear that Phil has a passion for math. Any question, easy or hard, was another learning experience and a rabbit hole for us to dive into. Spending a few extra minutes on a problem would always bring valuable insight into areas I had trouble identifying on my own. Phil would never make me feel bad for making mistakes. He is patient, friendly, and talented. Phil also offers a free consultation to discuss your needs and goals. Don't be afraid to give him a chance!

I highly recommend Phil for all math tutoring. Phil tutored my high school junior throughout AP Pre-Calculus. We found Phil to be approachable, kind, accepting, inclusive, and flexible as well as skilled in his field. He kindly set up a standing weekly appointment for tutoring, but was always willing to schedule extra appointments as needed. He was able to read my teen and their needs & anxieties each week while helping them break down the coursework and helping to fill in any background gaps in understanding. Phil helped my teen immensely through a daunting course. We can’t thank him enough!

Phil helped me a lot with math! He was an amazing tutor, and he pushed me to keep going even when I was struggling. There were many times I didn’t understand something, and he actually cared and explained how to do the problem and why we solved it that way, without just giving me the answer. Thank you so much for helping me Phil! :))

I really enjoyed working with Phil and he's a great tutor! He helped me get through some difficult topics for me in my AP Calc class. He was able to explain stuff clearly and helped me feel more confident in my calc knowledge!

Dr. G responded quickly over the summer when I needed help with my summer Calc 2 course. He gauged where I was with my math skills and was able to help me with all of my questions! I never felt judged if I didn't know an answer; I could tell he genuinely wanted me to learn. He was a great resource and I highly recommend him as a tutor.

Phil is a great tutor who has recently helped me with MAT119 (College Algebra). He gives clear notes and shows examples that make topics easier to understand. Instead of just showing you how to do it, he explains how it works and makes it interesting. Phil will let you lead the session if you want, but still makes sure you cover everything you need. He’s also super kind and easy to talk to, so you can even make a friend if you want. I highly recommend him!

Got tutoring for my math 130 class which I had failed the first time and needed to take again to be able to move on! I improved so much with his help and I am so grateful that I was able to have him as my tutor and guide me through the process!

Phil is a conventional and straightforward Math teacher; he is patient and encourages you to understand the concepts and reasoning behind the math problems you are working on. I went from a D- to an A- by the end of the term, thanks again Phil for all your wisdom and help. Sincerely, Robert Kidwell
