What Students Say
Real feedback from students who have exceeded their expectations
"I started Politics averaging D grades, but with Mr Phillips' expert guidance I achieved an A this summer. He was so calm and patient and put me at ease when I struggled to understand difficult topics. He made me a learning plan, and every session included exam practice which built my confidence massively."
Year 13 Student
D to A Grade
"Living in Japan and self-teaching Politics wasn't easy, but Mr Phillips made it completely manageable. His explanations were clear and he broke down complex ideas with examples that really stuck. Every lesson was full of useful exam tips. His patient teaching style made learning online feel effortless."
