I'm an experienced, professional English teacher with a CELTA qualification from the Manchester Academy of English and a degree in English from Newcastle University. I also have a 1st class Masters in Anthropology from University College London. I've taught on italki for several years and I love the job. I also teach classes in an English school, NCG Manchester, and have taught at a number of other English schools over the years, including experience teaching in Spain. I live in a small village near Manchester. I have two children of Primary School age. I enjoy walking (and running) in the countryside, writing stories, history, music, comedy, cooking and football.

I've been studying with Philip for over two years now. And I can say with confidence he is a professional teacher. He is great at explaining grammar and all aspects of the English language. It helps me a lot. Philip's lessons are always interesting and fun. He is very positive, smart and talkative guy. We are talking about different things. It also helps me a lot to learn the language and to overcome the language barrier when talking to other people. I recommend classes with Philip to everyone. Thank you Philip for your lessons!!!

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.
