Certified Teacher with thirty Years Experience is an expert in Literature, History, and Preparation for SAT and AP tests as well as college admission essays.

My husband and I have been working with Phil Gordon for more than three years. He is a pleasure to work with. He has done a wonderful job helping us with accent reduction. We strongly recommend his services.

Phil is an excellent tutor who goes way beyond academics. He dives into each child's personality in order to understand how they learn, think and feel. Besides that his knowledge is more than impressive. All children not only improved their writing kills but actually were inspired and excited to write.

Phil is one of the best tutors I've ever had. His knowledge of history and music has expanded my love and desire to teach those subjects. Furthermore, he is resourceful and excellent when assisting with essays and/or thesis papers. He is the tutor you need to be successful in high school, undergraduate, and graduate school!

Mr. Gordon is one of the smartest individuals I have ever met. He is also extremely kind and warm hearted. I reached out to him for help with AP World and US history, and it was absolutely a pleasure to work with him. His seemingly infinite breadth of knowledge and insight into almost everything, let alone history, was very inspiring to me. There was never any topic that he knew only vaguely, but understood matters of historical significance to the finest detail. He always went above and beyond in helping me. I had a large advantage compared to my peers when it came to the AP exam, since I had known the events in a much more detailed and profound manner than what was being tested. Of course, the graders were impressed with my understanding and I did very well on all the exams. I had never been so interested in history (I'm more of a math and science guy), but when you work with a man like Mr. Gordon, it is impossible not to become well versed and engaged in history. He genuinely cares about his students. I highly recommend him as a tutor, mentor, and friend. He is very flexible and simply a great person. I wish him all the best.

Phil is a true gem and anyone who is fortunate enough to have him as a teacher, will be gifted a deep understanding and appreciation for history. I always looked forward to his tutoring sessions, his unique story teller approach and detailed insight always left me with anticipation of our next meeting. Thank you for being such a great teacher! I'll always have the deepest respect and admiration for your efforts in making each lesson come alive!

I cannot recommend Phil high enough for the exceptional assistance and guidance he provided throughout my application process. His editing expertise not only improved the content and structure of my essays, but also played a significant role in my development as a writer.
