About Phil

Oxbridge Tutor

I studied at both Cambridge and Oxford, and was a postdoctoral tutor at Oxford and have been helping Oxbridge candidates with their applications for a number of years. I'm here to help and advise those state and independent school Oxbridge applicants who need extra support.

I'm a full-time, independent tutor to university, college and school students worldwide. So the success of my private students is my sole professional consideration.

Your candidacy will be given individual attention, so your application will avoid a 'factory-farmed' appearance.

I love teaching; and having achieved excellence in my own studies, I strive to help my students fulfill their true potential.

I'm based in London, but when I'm not in my study I'm often climbing on the sea cliffs of south England, or sailing along the south coast in my small yacht.
