Very experienced, professional, CELTA qualified English teacher from Manchester (England) I’m an experienced, qualified native English teacher. I have a CELTA from the Manchester Academy of English, a degree in English from Newcastle University, and a Master’s degree in Anthropology from University College London.

I’ve taught over 6000 lessons on italki, so I have a lot of experience helping different types of students improve their English.

Phillip is an excellent professor. He really prepares the classes and is always looking to improve. He has plenty of options for learning tools and knows how to use them in different situations.

Philip is the best teacher I could ever ask for🙌🏻 I have been learning English from Philip for two and a half years. If I hadn’t learned English from Philip, I wouldn’t have been able to start my job (Teaching Mandarin to the English speakers) in Taiwan. Philip is a professional teacher who creates professional and creative teaching materials, I had never thought about I could learn English via fun materials, paintings, literature, history, poems, etc. What a creative way to learn English. If I may leave a review, the only review I can think about is that Philip is the best teacher I could ever ask for 🙌🏻

Every English lesson with Phil is the highlight of my day. His lessons are inventive; he is a very creative person and creates his lessons by himself permanently. Phil has a good sense of humor that’s why I laugh a lot; he is a very good listener and interlocutor, that’s why I enjoy our conversation every time. Phil corrects my speech very gently and tirelessly so I experience competence in learning English. I really recommend Phil, as a non-conventional and very effective English teacher.
