Information about Phil

I am an experienced, dedicated and enthusiastic teacher who has worked in a secondary special school for 33 years teaching Maths at all levels up to GCSE. I have focused mainly on teaching GCSE (Foundation/Higher), Functional Skills and KS3 Maths. My approach is flexible, with some students needing a highly structured individual learning plan and others more able to self-direct their learning, whether practising for exams or improving their understanding of general or specific areas of the Maths curriculum. I aim to boost the confidence of the young people I teach and help them realise that they really can do Maths!

Willing to travel: 12 miles

Experience: My education and training include a first-class honours degree in `Maths and Education` (University of York), PGCE (Swansea University), `Certificate in Challenging Behaviour` (Canterbury Christ Church University) and a `Certificate in Counselling Skills`.
During my 33 years of teaching experience at a local SEMH school (rated as Outstanding by Ofsted) I have worked with young people with a range of SEND, including BESD, ADHD, ADD, ASD, Asperger Syndrome, Attachment Disorder, Conduct Disorder, OCD, ODD, PDA, Speech & Language Disorder, Selective Mutism and Tourette’s Syndrome. I was awarded `Special Needs Teacher of the Year` (South East England) in 2008. I have been Head of Mathematics, leading the Maths department for a number of years, as well as Head of Music. My roles have included learning community manager and year head. Besides class teaching, I regularly worked with students on a 1 - 1 basis and in small groups, either for intervention purposes or to prepare students for exams. For the past 2 years I have been providing in-person private Maths tuition in Kent.

Phil was very good at helping my daughter with her maths. He came to our house and gave my daughter the confidence to take her GCSE paper after missing a lot of school due to illness. Thank you Phil :)

So far my son has had 3 sessions of maths tutoring with Phil. He explains the subject clearly and my son says the sessions are really helping him.

Our son is enjoying his lessons. Phil is a calm teacher and our son finds this very helpful. Phil has even gone out of his way to print maths questions sheets. We are really pleased with his delivery and style, and can happily recommend him.

Tutors Response :

Phil is a brilliant tutor. He has a very good teaching manner. He has really helped my 12 year old daughter who has been struggling with her year 8 maths. Since being tutored by Phil, my daughter is growing in confidence with her maths. She has learnt so much from him in a short period of time. I would highly recommend Phil.

Tutors Response :

Thank you for your generous feedback. It is a pleasure teaching Katie as she is so responsive and ready to learn. Phil
