Philip has been teaching me English conversation for 20 lessons. Philip is an excellent teacher, with established effective methods to improve English fluency. His method requires preliminary reading and listening on 2-3 topics before every class. This is a time to learn about interesting subjects and enrich your passive vocabulary. In the following class every topic is discussed which helps to create an active vocabulary. During classes Philip asks many questions which helps to create dynamic conversation. Concerns of having lessons by Skype were dispelled and quality of voice was always perfect. I have found MP3 recordings useful as well. I see a strong positive effect of our lessons, have improved my fluency, pronunciation and confidence. I would highly recommend Philip.
