Testimonials

Here’s what people have to say about Tutor Phil and his stuff

Hi Phil,
Just felt the need to drop you a line to say thankyou for the excellent ebooks you have published.
First a little about me,
I left school with no qualifications and after celebrating with my wife the birth of my child 5 years ago, decided to get educated in the hope of a better job.
I have studied with the open university since 2007 and my track record is atrocious, my essay writing failed me badly. I have looked at online gcse english courses but these are £400 plus exam fees etc, etc.
While I was browsing courses I found your free ebook on 300 word essays and finally decided to buy your stop essay pain alongside 21 deadly errors.
I have read the free ebook and just finished the deadly errors and found them fantastic to open my eyes to all the obvious mistakes I was making. I can’t wait to read your larger book, stop essay pain and now feel ready to go back to study at the open university with confidence.
Believe me when asked to write a 2,000 word essay my brain froze, I struggled to get 500 words together!
Apologies for the rambling, undoubtedly this is filled with deadly errors, but with practice and reading your books, which have cost me about £30 and will teach me quicker and more efficiently than a £400 year long gcse course, I just needed to quickly say thanks.
Feel free to use this as a testimonial, I shall certainly sing your praises to anyone that wants to improve their essay writing, I may even tackle an english literature degree 🙂
Again you have saved me time, money and a lot of stress 🙂
With many thanks,

Dennis Thompson (Ireland)

Update:

Hi Phil,

just to let you know I have just finished reading the stop essay pain book and I did all the exercises, no cheating promise. Excellent book, which I can see myself referring to over again, but what amazes me is how much I have retained after only one straight reading, I normally forget everything a book has to offer.

Many thanks for the excellent work, I think I will start a blog as practice essays for when I start Uni again in the September,

Cheers,

Den.

“I needed a 30-page paper and didn’t know where to begin…”

-Pyongho Kim, M.Ed. Student at Columbia University

Update:

Hey Phil. Long time.
My apology that I haven’t updated you.

Thankfully, the paper got accepted 🙂
Now, I have to go through all the payment
process with the school for registration, and
once that is done, my professor will upload
the grade. Then I’m done with the school for good.
Let me update you with doctoral program application
process as well in the future.

Thank you so much for your help and everything.
Talk to you soon, man.

Dear Tutor Phil,

Thank you very much for your advice, as it has made me more confident in starting preparing my essay. Your example is a great framework for writing.  I am getting ready for an Interview for PGCE-Primary course and need to write an essay on the day: “My favourite teacher”, “What makes a good teacher” and so on. So I will keep in mind your Zoom In method. Also when I become a teacher I will teach my students, using this method.

Thank you again!
The best of luck in all good things you do!

Kind regards,
Olga

Hi Phil

I  do not really know if I can find the right words to thank you for all your e-mails.

It was your advises to help me with writing IELTS task 2 which had surprised me shockingly after I had the result and I had gained  2 bands higher in only 1 month and nothing switched my brain more than your techniques and made me realize that writing is beautiful and the most powerful way of expressing yourself as far as you do it the right way (thanks to you).

I will never delete your e-mails and I really appreciate that was for free and I could not believe that something for free can guide you to something that has been making my life very difficult for 7 years not to consider the time and the money being spent. Best wishes in everything.

Yours sincerely,

Ismete

Tutor Phil,

I’m so blessed to have crossed your website! Your writing techniques helped me a lot. Actually, I received my exam report last week from MELAB and so overwhelmed that I passed it! I got the score that I wanted — way beyond what I basically needed (from written to oral exam). Yes, I also used “zooming in” for my oral exam, that helped me focus and expand my conversation. Thank you so much for being a part of my success.

I hope and pray the same for you!

Have a Prosperous New Year!

Blessings,

Grace

Hi Phil, well here I am I must say I have enjoyed your book immensely, I have already learned a lot and very fast, thank you so very much for your great support and help. I must say I have always been a big writer and I can write pretty well, I have already finished writing my essay and nearly finished typing it, lucky you send me the video today just on time, because I would not remembered to write the Thesis first so I have learned again.

I have become more confident, and I am not scared to write since I’ve read your book. My essay has exactly 1500 words I am so pleased I have never in my whole life written these types of essay, so there is a lot of leaning to do on my side. I did wrote essays at highschool, and I always wrote so much the teachers were sleep deprived.
Well I have said enough, and now I will wait to hear from you soon…

With Regards,

Jenneke

Phil,

I taught English to students at the community college level. A good teacher always looks to learn more from any reliable and accurate source that he can get his hands on. You are a great resource of information for everyone, including teachers. I will download your e-book and look forward to all of your e-mails. I am no longer teaching English to anyone anymore. However, I still love learning all I can about the English language. Your information is fascinating and to the point. It is also clear and easy to understand. What good is a lot of information if one cannot understand it? Thank you for sharing your information. I will pass it on to my nehpews and my grandchildren.

Sincerely,

Ralph

The Technik of Zooming was amazing and helped me a lot… It turned to be so funny how easy it could be writing something. Espacially when the topic is set up and the memories are really full with life stories……

Thanks a lot!

Dear Tutor Phil:

I’d better let you know I’ve got two Canadian Education Certificates, one was from Red River College.  And you’ve helped my writing skills because you offered me a lot of help in two years.  I’ve been self-teaching algebra for two months, I think I can go out to help later, I got $2000,00 tax credits because I worked day care volunteer and offered some writings.

Thanks a lot.

USC or Stanford style rhetoric. Anyways, I stumbled across your site

Tutor Phil,

I don’t know if you remember me but I was the one emailing you last fall for help with a paper. Well, I wanted to let you know that I got accepted to UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, and UC Davis. I am officially a Bruin. What I wanted to know is do you have any advice on papers and getting through the readings. (I hear from alumni that the reading load alone is tremendous with mid-terms in 3 weeks on the quarter system). Anyways, I did pass the Anthropology class with an A and I scored a full credit on the paper.

Talk to you soon,

Roderick V. Todd

Hi tutorphil

Today I opend my email, and came to you email, I was pleased reading your messages that you have sent to me. I do not have good grammar although I read books or some news paper. When I read some of your tutors messages they very interesting and even I’m the same position and sometimes stuck when I am in an exam. I become feared and that in my mind I say that I do not know nothing. Thanks  for your support, when I open my email I check for your mail.

Thanks for your help

Hi Tutor Phil,

I am going through your program. I have just finished the first DVD. I am starting a PsyD degree in two days. You know your material. You excel at teaching it and enjoy doing so. I will keep you posted.

Philip:

Thank you for the most generous deal.  Yes, your guide is wonderful because of its simple explanation yet so organized.  As I go over the exercises, it gives me two very important reflections: I have to value and in fact to journal my personal experiences so I can use it for giving examples; second, I have to do more research about the topic I have to discuss, thus, number of words now becomes easy. Thank you so much. I am a bit confident now to write my essay.

Hey tutor phil ! no worries at all, you have no idea how helpful you were on this assignment. I got 60 % (2:1) after I expanded a bit and did some “zoom in” techniques, given the frame time I did this ( 4 to 5 hours  to complete it  compare to all my other  that take me days without your system ) , I believe this is fantastic. I even got an amazing feedback from the tutor saying I made some dramatic improvement !!

Can not wait to work with you again…..

Peace

“Phil has been my tutor for a number of occasions. He has been extremely helpful with my scholarship applications, as well as numerous fellowship programs that I applied for. For instance, I wanted to apply for the Cardinal Scholars Program, but I was having trouble finding a tutor to proofread my work before the approaching deadline. Thankfully, I was very grateful when I found Philip, he was very cool and friendly, and was very flexible with his schedule, especially when I couldn’t find a tutor at that time to check over my work. In the end, after working with him, I got accepted into the Cardinal Scholars Program! He also went the extra mile to teach me writing tips on how to approach an essay and break it down to the most rudimentary steps from start to finish. I was very happy!”

Hello,

Yes I got accepted to NYU and I also went for an interview to University of Maryland, which is my top choice for now. Haven’t heard back from them yet, but hope I will

Thank you so much for your help!!! And thanks for asking, I really hope I will get to Maryland, where tuition is cheaper and also considered to be a good school.

Overall the hard work paid off:)

Best,

Hi Tutor Phil,

Dear Tutor Phil,

I want to thank you for all the inspiration, guidance, and support you gave me. I have completed my degree, and being awarded 2:1 ( In the UK this stand for B). There is no way on earth I would have accomplished this without you!

Because of you Phil, some of the comments I had on my best essays were ‘ well done for researching well and making a range of insightful comments !’ ‘you clearly have a clearly stated argument, quite clearly written actually’, ‘ you have a clearly detailed introduction, which clearly says what you did in your essay and conclusion’.

By the way, sometimes in May you emailed me contents on book analysis. This was such a good timing as I had to write a book review. For this, I used your power of 3 where you said ‘ methodology author used to prove his argument, why it is right, why it is not, and conclusion’ . My professor was impressed by how clear I was and wanted to use my analysis for future reference to help student on Book review! Seriously, you should become an academic leader, lecturer or something!

The only bit where I have not done so good was my final year dissertation. I was too general on the topic, and lacked precision. I had no title page, literature review, or any reference to the methodology I was using. i have done it in a week 😞 that s why. I got C, tough.

Now, I am starting an internship soon, by the same university where I started. They employing me full time. I will be working in the ‘teaching and learning department’, working alongside colleagues to improve retention at university !!! What a coincidence. I really look forward to brains storm further ideas with you!

NB: If you wish I can send you piece of my best work, where you inspired everything forSave
