I recently graduated magna cum laude from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, with minors in Chemistry and Classical Studies. I was also the Latin tutor for my university for the last three of my four years in college. I enjoyed being able to help other students with their coursework. I have the most experience tutoring Latin, but I am also qualified to teach a wide range of math and science subjects, with math all the way to upper level Calculus and Differential Equations, and with science, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, and Engineering. I try to motivate students to enjoy what they are studying. If a student is struggling with a topic, I explain the topic in as many ways as I can so that the material is fully understood. I believe firmly in being a lifelong learner and try to instill this in my students. In my free time I enjoy learning new languages casually, biking and watching Netflix.

I excelled in my chemical engineering studies in college while fitting in a classical studies minor as well. I received only three B's in my chemical engineering courses in my four years of college, with the rest being all A's. I always enjoyed studying with friends in my classes because I could explain many concepts and problems to them when I had a good grasp of them.

I was the outstanding senior in chemical engineering at my university. I have passed the fundamentals of engineering (FE) chemical exam. I understand things conceptually and am able to explain the concepts in multiple ways.

I have close to four years of tutoring experience in Latin. I have taken four years of Latin in high school and two semesters in college. I received a 5 on the AP Latin exam in my senior year of high school. I have experience working with translation of Ovid, Vergil, Caesar, and some Cicero. I have used the Cambridge Latin courses in high school, and the Wheelock's textbook in college.

I am able to help with translations, both English to Latin, and vice versa, and help with the language

Detailed

Philip helped my son with difficult problems in Physics and make him understand the problem in detail and my son really liked him

Anirudh, 1 lesson with Phillip

great teacher

Work through each problem in detail with me and made sure i understood every step. Very helpful, and good at relaying information.

Lander, 2 lessons with Phillip

Knowledgeable, flexible, and dedicated.

Philip met with me on extremely short notice despite having been exhausted from working with other tutees and being requested to tutor me late at night. He helped me understand Simulink as well as ODE code in Matlab , supplemented with his background in Cheme. He was even willing to answer a few questions over text outside of our paid session. I'm very grateful to him and highly recommend him as a tutor.

RYAN, 2 lessons with Phillip

Phillip is a wonderful tutor! Highly recommended!

Phillip help me a lot to understand basic things in Java. If you need a Java tutor - Phillip is the person that you need! He has a great approach to teaching and has been great at helping me understand things that I used to have difficulty with. Very knowledgeable and proficient!

Initial Geometry Session

Philip did a fantastic job in our initial session. My son felt more clear and comfortable with 1 lesson. He took the time understanding his challenges and provided good coaching on how to approach.

LaShonda, 1 lesson with Phillip

super helpful

He was patient and really helped me understand the concepts I had trouble with. He made it easier to understand than my own professor!

Jailene, 1 lesson with Phillip

Amazing

I was so surprised how smooth and knowledgeable he was on Matlab with a random given problem. I recommend to anyone.

Zachary, 1 lesson with Phillip

Great kickoff session.

I had my first session with Phillip. He knew the material and did a great job explaining the concepts. In fact, Phillip did a better job than my AP teacher. He provided a good resource to supplement the class. I'm looking forward to continue working with him.

Paul, 3 lessons with Phillip

Phillip is a wonderful help

Phillip has been a wonderful help for my sons. We used him for my older son and now are using him again with my middle son. He’s very helpful.
