I'm Phil, a professional engineer with a Master’s degree and wide range of teaching experience including full time high school and university tutoring the past 9 years. Tutoring is online (my system is cutting edge and the ultimate in convenience) or in-person. I tutor math, physics and chemistry in both English and French.

-- I adapt to the ability and style of each of my students. Together we solve problems, assignments and questions and I show you the simplest methods with step by step instructions for each kind of problem. You should gain confidence by seeing how to apply basic ideas. .

-- We will identify and fix gaps in your math and science knowledge. I'll show you effective habits that can boost your marks by an easy 10% or 15% in many cases. I coach effective study skills using how-to PDFs.

-- I have every Alberta final exam that has been released and I have written out the solutions to many of them. I also have hundreds of individual topic exams and solutions, problem sets, lesson notes and digital textbooks, all of which I freely share. I plimentary PDF lessons of foundational knowledge to students who need to refresh their knowledge of earlier courses.

-- I wrote the Physics 30 Solution Manual and Grade 11 math workbook for *Rock the Diploma* prep school.

-- Rate - Grade 10: $40/hour; Grades 11 and 12: $45/hour; University: $50/hour

-- High School: Math 20, Math 30, Calculus, AP Math, IB Math; Physics 20, Physics 30, AP and IB Physics; Chem 20 and Chem 30. -- SAIT - Calculus, Physics, Statics, Dynamics ; Business Math, Power Engineering. -- MRU, U of C - Calculus, Physics.

- I have taught engineering classes in Canada and overseas to Engineers and Technologists, for new Canadian citizens entering SAIT and was a teaching assistant at U of C. I taught classes for a large engineering pany and as an engineering consultant and have published eight original papers based on my resesearch in the Canadian Journal of Petroleum Technology and elsewhere.

-- We use Zoom or in person. For the past 5 years students have really liked my online tutoring, which uses the best hardware and software available. Personally, I think online is superior to in-person tutoring in almost every way. It is a totally different experience from Youtube videos and online lectures. It is active, not passive. We are directly face to face talking to each other from fort of home. It is much easier to see my writing, we both have a PDF record of the session, you can have a recording of the session and last but not least, there is easy scheduling and lack of travel hassles like rush hour, snow and dark. And the parent doesn’t lose 2 hours muting and wait time. Plus, for young women there is no fort from going to a stranger's house.

-- I have worked in Canada, Yemen, Russia and Kazakhstan. My last job was 7 years as reservoir engineering manager of a Canadian overseas pany (4000 employees) in Kazakhstan. My work added $800 million to pany's value before it was sold to a Chinese state pany.

- I studied honors math, physics and biology at the University of Toronto then eventually pursued fine woodworking, but found there was no living to be made. Entering U of C Engineering after 12 years out of school, I got a 4.0 GPA using study skills which I teach.

-- I retired early some years ago to travel and pursue personal interests especially mathematics and physics. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————— I never ask for endorsements, but here are some ments:

-- Still can't believe I found you on ibuyca. Was feeling so lost before I met you but now I know we can produce so really excited. I went from failing Statics to 89% on my final! Alex B., SAIT student....

-- Phil, you changed my life! Richard G. Mature student studying at SAIT.

-- Just want to thank you for all your help. Brianna's Math 30 exam/quiz marks were in the 70s but you helped her raise them to high 80's and 90's. I wish we met you sooner. You are super effective!!! Thank you so much! Medical researcher on her daughter's results....

-- Phil, I recall that after his first session Eric was so pumped he couldn't stop talkin', all the way home, LOL. Thank you ever so much for all of your help with Eric...Eric just thinks the world of you... and for that we are so thankful. Eric's mum. [ What can I say - he's a great kid ]

-- Phil, you are such a nice person. Thank you for helping me feel confident in math again. Emelia G. U of C calculus student

-- Hey Phil, just wanted to say a big thanks for all your tutoring help for Tyson. When you started with him his course grade was sitting at a 34%, he's now finishing with an 80%! [ We just had 5 weeks, but Tyson had a programmer mentality and picked up very quickly if I pointed out the essence of what he needed to know. Nevertheless, that is exceptional.]
