I took 2 years of high school Spanish and a year of college Spanish. I assist beginning students in grasping the order and organization of Spanish. I cover conjugating verbs correctly, understanding all the tenses and expanding the Spanish vocabulary. I also cover reading, writing, speaking, listening, and understanding this beautiful language.

My kids are very happy and like the way Philip teaching them. Thanks
Janie D. from La Mirada, CA
Chase thought Philip was extremely helpful. He was quiet and didn't make it stressful. We were very pleased with him.
Taylor M. from Los Angeles, CA
Our family was very fortunate to have Phillip tutor our 2 children for the past few years! He is so patient, and was able to be an effective tutor for our son and daughter. His kind and caring manner was very helpful. He was amazing helping my son with his SAT preparation, when he was unable to enroll in a traditional prep program due to a busy athletic schedule. He really works with our schedule! We are looking forward to working with him again when school starts in the fall!
Susan N. from Los Angeles, CA
Philip has been a very effective tutor. He is patient, dependable and has a great easy going manner. We are pleased by our son's improvement in quiz and test scores since working with Philip.
Juliet P. from Marina Del Rey, CA
My son is a million places at once even when he sits still and yet Phillip so easily helps him focus and plow thru all issues with his school work. The ease at which Phillip approaches teaching is really a gift. My son's grades have really improved and he really enjoys his time with Phillip. Amazing and worth every penny. I can't say enough good things about Phillip.
Socorro S. from Los Angeles, CA
Philip is very helpful and patient as he tutors my son in Algebra. My son has trouble understanding other tutors, but not Philip. Thank you Philip!!! Philip is a great tutor and has helped my son excel in math.
Kathy H. from Los Angeles, CA
We just met Philip for the first time. We liked him very much. He worked well with our son and he was very knowledgeable about Algebra and grammar. He was very helpful and we will likely continue to use him in the future.
Susan C. from Pacific Palisades, CA
Philip is excellent at helping me to understand complicated problems. He's patient with me when I'm struggling with my homework and he's great at giving tips to simplify solving complex equations. My grade in Geometry went from a C to an A in 5 weeks.
Cindy H. from Sherman Oaks, CA
Phillip was a perfect tutor for our son in high school. He was patient and very good at explaining things in just the right way to help my son understand the subject. He was flexible with my son's sport schedule, polite and caring. We couldn't have asked for a better tutor. Thanks for everything Phillip!
Juan G. from Monterey Park, CA
Excellent tutoring. You are awesome, Philip. I look forward to our next tutoring session. I could not understand my geometry without your support.
Reyna A. from Los Angeles, CA
Philip has been tutoring my son for several weeks now and we have already seen amazing results. My son comes home and tells me that Philip explains everything so clearly and easily to him. He also mentioned that Philip goes out of his way to help him with other math subjects. Philip is by far the best tutor we have worked with!
Ryan D. from Los Angeles, CA
We made plans to see Philip on a Tuesday, after having set the weekends for tutoring, even though we needed him the preceding weekend (we worked around his schedule), and arranged to see him for several hours on Tuesday. At the last minute, he changed the session to one hour, which is of no value to us. We are very disappointed.
Wendy C. from Los Angeles, CA
We really appreciate how flexible Philip is with our tutoring time! Life gets busy and he is always willing to fit us in!
Robin W. from Los Angeles, CA
Philip is smart, efficient and easy to work with. My son felt that his time with Philip was well spent. He helped solidify conceptual understanding of very challenging concepts. He was patient, and used lots of analogies to help him with the concepts. My son left the session feeling confident. Philip was responsive, flexible, and got back to us immediately with a meeting time and place. My son learned a great deal during his time with Philip. I will definitely use Philip again!
Leighton C. from Los Angeles, CA
My son passed his with the assistance of Philip. Philip was very flexible and reliable. We will continue to have him tutor our son.
Debby A. from El Segundo, CA
Philip was outstanding. He was professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly, I learned. Which I never thought I would learn. I would highly recommend him.
Shannon F. from Los Angeles, CA
Philip has been working with my high school sophomore all year, helping him with high school chemistry, and then also to prepare for the SAT single subject test in World History. I recommend Philip highly. He is easy to reach and communicate with, he is patient, and he knows his stuff!
Brian R. from Marina Del Rey, CA
We would not even consider another tutor after having Philip! He is extremely educated and presents easy to understand instruction. His prices are worth every penny if you want to see quick results. Most highly recommended!
Shane I. from Venice, CA
Philip is knowledgeable, patient, and has a way of making the pieces of the puzzle fit together...a very productive session.
Jasem A. from Boston, MA
I met up with Philip twice for my Statistics class, and we talked about probabilities. He initially helped me understand what I was having trouble with. Also note that you should schedule with him early on so you can save a timeslot and also because he plans his whole week on Sundays
Chandra H. from Culver City, CA
Philip P. has been tutoring my son in Honors Algebra II all semester. After failing the first exam, he has brought his grade up to a B. Philip has been so patient and calm, even on the nights when my son isn't all that focused. My son looks forward to working with Philip, and we are thankful to have found him.
Charlene G. from Culver City, CA
Philip has been coming for several months and he is a super tutor. He is always here when he says he will be, and his pupil has straight A's in his class. I highly recommend Philip if you are looking for a tutor.
Axel C. from Los Angeles, CA
Philip was a really good tutor for my algebra II course. He was very patent and calm and explained everything really clearly to me. My grade jumped from a low B to an A when he was tutoring me. He always turned up on time and was ready to teach. I would definitely use him again.
Constant W. from Pacific Palisades, CA
I learned a lot from Phillip, he was very knowledgeable and helpful. Before he came I did not understand the concepts, and afterwards I could complete problems on my own with ease.
Patricia K. from Santa Monica, CA
I will keep it's short since I am busy studying.....he is very knowledgeable and takes his time to make sure you understand the concepts which was helpful for me! Communicates very well too!
Dana F. from Los Angeles, CA
Phillip helped my daughter in 1.5 HOURS to understand her math from the past 3 weeks in this short amount of time. I could hear her interacting confidently & he didn't answer for her but walked through to the end & said so whats your answer. She had a smile on her face & no longer dreading it ! Thank you Phillip TRULY
Shelly N. from Santa Monica, CA
Philip is an excellent statistics AP tutor. We are very pleased with the tutoring my son is receiving! His grade has improved a great deal! Philip is patient and goes over the material until my son has a solid understanding. Thank you!
Matthew T. from Santa Monica, CA
I get very frustrated with Math. Since working with Philip I have been doing really well in Math (just got an A on my report card). He is very patient and explains the problems really well. There is also relief knowing that when I don't get a math concept at school, Philip will be able to explain it to me in our next tutoring session. Truly recommend him!
April B. from Los Angeles, CA
Philip did a great job helping my son with his Calculus class. Math is a subject that makes him nervous and Philip's calm kind demeanor really put him at ease, and helped in general with his overall feeling about the class. As a parent, it was nice to have somebody to count on who really knew the subject material and had such a reassuring and positive approach.
