About Philip

I hold an M.Ed. and bring over 10 years of experience supporting students in academic and professional writing. I am reliable, prepared, and detail-oriented and have a clear, structured approach to each session. You can count on thoughtful guidance, honest feedback, and a high standard of work. My focus is on producing writing that meets rigorous expectations while ensuring each student feels supported, understood, and confident in the final result.

About the lesson

I approach tutoring as a collaborative, strategy-driven process focused on producing clear, compelling writing with real-world impact, especially for high-stakes applications like law school and graduate programs.

Teaching Method and Techniques:

I work as both a writing coach and editor. Rather than simply correcting grammar, I help students understand why changes matter and how to apply those principles independently. Sessions are highly interactive and tailored to the student’s goals. I use a mix of:

Guided questioning to draw out stronger ideas and personal narratives
Real-time editing and restructuring for clarity, flow, and impact
Targeted feedback on tone, voice, and argumentation
Practical frameworks for building essays from blank page to polished draft

The emphasis is always on clarity, structure, and authenticity, helping students sound like their strongest, most compelling selves.

Typical Lesson Plan:

1) Brief check-in and clarification of objectives (e.g., brainstorming, revising, polishing)
2) Review of the student’s draft or ideas
3) Live editing and discussion, working line-by-line or section-by-section
4) Strategy adjustments (structure, argument, storytelling)
5) Clear next steps, including specific revisions or writing tasks

For new projects, I help students move from initial ideas to a structured outline before drafting, ensuring efficiency and direction from the start.

What Sets Me Apart:

What sets me apart is my ability to uncover the deeper story behind strong writing. With an M.Ed. and over 10 years of experience, I help students clarify their motivations and articulate them with precision. Your writing not only improves, but stands out.

Who the lessons are for:

U.S. and U.K. University and Graduate School Applicants
Law school Candidates
Med School Candidates
High School, Undergraduate, and Graduate Students writing Academic Essays
Professionals applying to competitive programs or roles

Lessons are ideal for intermediate to advanced English speakers who want to elevate their writing for academic or professional success, rather than beginners seeking basic language instruction.
