Personal Description:
I am a fully qualified teacher, university lecturer and tutor providing tuition in a wide range of Economics and Business related subjects. I have been teaching and lecturing for over 30 years and have accumulated much experience which I am able to pass on to my students. My principal tutees are either "A" level school/college students or university undergraduates. However, I also tutor at post graduate level, such as MBA.
One of the key benefits I can offer you as a student is providing critical analysis and evaluation when completing your assignments. This is extremely important for grading and often means the difference between a 2:1 and 2:2 or higher. For the dissertation it is fundamental, but even in year one and for Foundation degrees it is essential. I will ensure all your coursework is focussed, adheres to the assignment grading spec and includes critical analysis and evaluation.
Tutoring Experience:
I am a fully qualified, experienced and highly professional tutor in Economics and Business Studies e.g. Accounting, Marketing, HRM etc. I have been providing one to one tutorials for a number of years and have built up a good deal of expertise in these tutorial techniques. I am able to offer specialised tuition in every aspect of both Business Studies and Economics.
Tutoring Approach:
I live in the Bournemouth area but am willing to travel to provide tuition (and I am also able to provide Skype/e-mail tuition for those students who live a long distance from me: please see below for further info)
I can provide specialised and comprehensive notes which will assist you in your learning. I can give coursework or assignment help (planning, writing, editing) and assistance with your exam preparation. If you live a long distance away you can e-mail your assignments/coursework to me for editing and improvements. I will then e-mail them back to you with the improvements. So even if you do not live in Bournemouth I am still able to help you.
I am also available to offer tuition via Skype for those students who live a long distance from me e.g. I can fully explain any concepts, ideas or subject content that you need help on, give verbal help with assignments and exam prep.

From Connor (/5): (University Business Related) Highly recommended tutor, could not be happier with the service received by Philip, truley professional, reliable and great value for money. Without his help I would not have achieved the grade I received. The only thing I regret is that I had not made contact earlier, Philip always has a answer no matter the question which would be explained with incredible accuracy and would be incredibly difficult not to grasp the concepts once explained.
Reply from Philip: Many thanks Connor. I was always impressed with your assign prep and very pleased with your final degree results. Well done.

From Jacky (/5): (University Business Related) Philip is a fantastic tutor.

From Debbie (/5): (University Business Related) My daughter was studying with the Open University (Business) and had a really difficult tutor for a 60 credit module in her 3rd year. She just could not please him and was at her wits end as her marks were plummeting. We enlisted the help of Philip who would proof read the assignments and make helpful suggestions. Her marks increased enough to keep her in the 2.1 bracket (if it had not been for this module she would have earned a 1st)
Philip was flexible to work around her schedule and was always prompt to call. The tutorials were carried out over skype.

From Alex (/5): (A-Level Economics) Thanks Philip you were a great help, gave me that extra confidence boost that I needed before the exam. I found your method of delivering information and logical chain of reasoning helped me properly understand how to develop and evaluate arguments. There were 1 or 2 little things like not having properly read some of the sources before the lessons which is only reason it's not a 5. However, overall I am very pleased with your tutoring I got the A I needed in economics to get into university and I feel it is a large part thanks to you.
From Alistair (/5): (University Economics) great prompt service, excellent teacher, patient and very knowledgeable. Restored my daughter's confidence in first year university Economics and Accounting. Many thanks!

From Morgan (/5): (A-Level Economics) I contacted Phil to help me with A2 economics and A2 Business studies (both Edexcel), bit worried about Skype tuition but it was brilliant and i found it really helpful in both subjects. I would highly recommend Phil as he has flexible times and knows the syllabus very well. He was particularly good in teaching me how to structure and go about answering the higher mark questions, which can be tricky in Economics.
Reply from Philip: Many thanks for the feedback Morgan. You are a really hard working student who will do well at uni. All the best. Philip.
From Anne-Helene (/5): (A-Level Economics) My son decided to switch one of his 4 A-levels in mid January and pick up Economics instead. He had to catch up on a whole term and Philip has been incredibly helpful. Fingers crossed about his AS exams!

From Konoya (/5): (A-Level Economics) The sessions that I have had so far have been great. Philip has suited his teaching very well according to my needs, and every session I have had has been helpful in develop my learning. The method of using Skype has proven very efficient, however as predicted, communication is somewhat hindered by a few technical difficulties we have encountered. Overall I am pleased with my experience.

In the 2 weeks my son was given to retake a 1st year Uni exam, Philip helped him pass by more than doubling the original mark. My son found him very helpful and patient, taking him not only through aspects of the exam itself but general techniques which will be invaluable in future exams. He was very reassuring when I spoke to him on the phone. My son will continue to use Philip through other exams in the future.
Reply from Philip: Many thanks for the feedback much appreciated
From Holly (/5): (University Business Related) I requested Philip's help to aid my final year of my Marketing degree at bournemouth university. He was extremely good, kept things simple and had a lot of background knowledge around my subjects. He was extremely helpful and had lots of practical advice to try and get me to my 2:1 at the end of my finals, which i achieved after being on a low 2:2 at the begging of my final year to a middle 2:1 when i completed my degree i was so happy and i am sure my grade was down to the extra help i received from Philip!
Thank you Philip for all your help.
Thank you Philip for all your help.
Reply from Philip: Many thanks I hope everything is going well for you thanks again
From Gus (/5): (A-Level Economics) Phil really helped me get a grasp of the basics and show me what I needed to do to get the marks! We ran through the course specification and simply talked through and worke out anything I didn't understand. More than anything he eloped build my confidence and gave me a strategy which meant I was not phased by harder questions. He was a great help and I achieved a much higher result than I thought possible at the start.
From Alex (/5): (A-Level Economics) I can heartily recommend Phillip as an economics tutor. I first contacted Phillip in March following my son's difficulties in his module taken in January. In spite of the incredibly short timescale, Philip started helping my son twice a week in the Easter holidays then subsequently once a week to take him up to his exams in June. Phillip's approach is extremely professional yet friendly and he does his utmost to help and cater to his student's needs. With my son's hard work and determination together with Phillip's committed guidance and excellent teaching, my son developed in both confidence and ability and found the sessions invaluable. His school predicted, in May, that he would be awarded an E grade in his Economics 'A' level; in reality he was awarded a B grade, quite a jump! My only regret is that my son didn't start his tuition with Phillip earlier!
Reply from Philip: Hi and many thanks for the feedback. I am so pleased for Alex. He was a diligent, highly motivated and hard working student. His excellent grade was really well deserved. Please pass on my good wishes to him and all the best for his future. Phil

Reply from Philip: Many thanks for the kind comments you have made. It has been a pleasure to help Rowan and he is a keen, motivated, enthusiastic and capable student.
From Aidan (/5): (A-Level Economics) Phil was an excellent Tutor and greatly assisted my son who was struggling with with his AS Economics. I would thoroughly recommend Phil to anyone who requires tuition in Economics at any level.
