About Philip
Originally an electrical engineer, I switched to data analysis after completing an MMath and an MSc in Statistics. I am now semi-retired and am free to pursue my wish of teaching maths and statistics to upcoming generations. This has been a long held desire.

I first want to give the student a view of the landscape of a particular topic. For instance, I would not introduce algebra by drilling how to simplify quadratic fractions. Instead, I would spend some time demonstrating how algebra is used to solve real world problems. The analogy I sometimes use is that one doesn't introduce architecture to a student by delving into the details of how bricks are made. Once I have the student engaged, my focus is on ensuring they have a working understanding of principles and techniques. I then emphasise the importance of practice. Many students feel they need to memorise formulae and particular results; I discourage them from explicit memorisation and assure them that regular practice of methods and techniques will build a "muscle memory". The analogy I use for this is playing a musical instrument, I have other activities up my sleeve for the non-musical.

Philip is a very honest and trustworthy Tutor and it is a joy to learn skills from him.
I have known Philip for over 30 years as a family friend. He also tutored my daughter for her A level maths. He is a highly qualified, multi-talented person, with a great sense of humour, a wonderful Dad and Grandad with lots of patience. He has a charismatic personality and the ability to adapt to all kinds of students' requirements.
I worked with Peter and found him to be very empathetic and reassuring in our dealings. A very competent educator and I have no hesitation in supporting him with this recommendation
