Here’s what people have to say about Tutor Phil and his stuff

Hi Phil,
Just felt the need to drop you a line to say thankyou for the excellent ebooks you have published.
First a little about me,
I left school with no qualifications and after celebrating with my wife the birth of my child 5 years ago, decided to get educated in the hope of a better job.
I have studied with the open university since 2007 and my track record is atrocious, my essay writing failed me badly. I have looked at online gcse english courses but these are £400 plus exam fees etc, etc.
While I was browsing courses I found your free ebook on 300 word essays and finally decided to buy your stop essay pain alongside 21 deadly errors.
I have read the free ebook and just finished the deadly errors and found them fantastic to open my eyes to all the obvious mistakes I was making. I can’t wait to read your larger book, stop essay pain and now feel ready to go back to study at the open university with confidence.
Believe me when asked to write a 2,000 word essay my brain froze, I struggled to get 500 words together!
Apologies for the rambling, undoubtedly this is filled with deadly errors, but with practice and reading your books, which have cost me about £30 and will teach me quicker and more efficiently than a £400 year long gcse course, I just needed to quickly say thanks.
Feel free to use this as a testimonial, I shall certainly sing your praises to anyone that wants to improve their essay writing, I may even tackle an english literature degree :)
Again you have saved me time, money and a lot of stress :)
With many thanks,

Dennis Thompson (Ireland)

Update:

Hi Phil,

just to let you know I have just finished reading the stop essay pain book and I did all the exercises, no cheating promise. Excellent book, which I can see myself referring to over again, but what amazes me is how much I have retained after only one straight reading, I normally forget everything a book has to offer.

Many thanks for the excellent work, I think I will start a blog as practice essays for when I start Uni again in the September,

Cheers,

Den.

Hey Phil. Long time.
My apology that I haven’t updated you.

Thankfully, the paper got accepted :)
Now, I have to go through all the payment
process with the school for registration, and
once that is done, my professor will upload
the grade. Then I’m done with the school for good.
Let me update you with doctoral program application
process as well in the future.

Thank you so much for your help and everything.
Talk to you soon, man.

Dear Tutor Phil,

Thank you very much for your advice, as it has made me more confident in starting preparing my essay. Your example is a great framework for writing.  I am getting ready for an Interview for PGCE-Primary course and need to write an essay on the day: “My favourite teacher”, “What makes a good teacher” and so on. So I will keep in mind your Zoom In method. Also when I become a teacher I will teach my students, using this method.

Thank you again!
The best of luck in all good things you do!

Kind regards,
Olga

Hi Phil

I  do not really know if I can find the right words to thank you for all your e-mails.

It was your advises to help me with writing IELTS task 2 which had surprised me shockingly after I had the result and I had gained  2 bands higher in only 1 month and nothing switched my brain more than your techniques and made me realize that writing is beautiful and the most powerful way of expressing yourself as far as you do it the right way (thanks to you).

I will never delete your e-mails and I really appreciate that was for free and I could not believe that something for free can guide you to something that has been making my life very difficult for 7 years not to consider the time and the money being spent. Best wishes in everything.

Yours sincerely,

Ismete

Yes, the book helped me tremendously! I gather my points as you instruct, and the thoughts just flow. My problem was the very beginning. I just never knew how to get started. But now, after reading your book, I use the techniques you describe to get the first few sentences down, and then everything else just falls into place. I have already recommended this amazing book to my friend and my son. The formula is really magical – the more I write, the easier it becomes. Now that I think about it, writing has even become fun for me! Thank you so much!

Tutor Phil,

I’m so blessed to have crossed your website! Your writing techniques helped me a lot. Actually, I received my exam report last week from MELAB and so overwhelmed that I passed it! I got the score that I wanted — way beyond what I basically needed (from written to oral exam). Yes, I also used “zooming in” for my oral exam, that helped me focus and expand my conversation. Thank you so much for being a part of my success.

I hope and pray the same for you!

Have a Prosperous New Year!

Blessings,

Grace
