Philip T.
Private tutor in Brunswick, Australia
Education
I have a Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) in English. I have also completed the Copyschool which is a highly respected industry-run copywriting course with only 12 candidates selected each year from all of Victoria.
Experience
I have previously worked in advertising and public relations in both Melbourne and New York and am currently still running my own advertising consultancy while teaching 53 strategic communications students at La Trobe University. In addition to this, I am also providing English tutoring to students at Brunswick Secondary School, Ivanhoe Grammar School, and Camberwell Grammar School. I really enjoy being able to see my students English improving as well as whetting my younger students' appetite for books and reading so that they start seeing English as an exciting challenge rather than a chore. I help my students see that being adept at English will prove to be a vital skill for them, regardless of the career they currently have in mind. In addition to reviewing my students' current schoolwork, I also have my own lesson plans that they really enjoy working through. I am an English expert and have had many happy parents!

Hobbies
I am quite extroverted and the kids seem to find working with me both fun and fruitful. I have two sons of my own - one at uni, one starting high school. They both claim to be smarter than me. (My wife is a psychotherapist so she definitely is!) I am also a published author: The Evil Inside was published by Quercus London in 2014. Apart from reading and writing, I love travel, cinema and screaming at the Carlton Football Club.
