About Me
italki teacher since Dec 17, 2013
Polyglot coaching from a teacher who knows how to learn. You can master American pronunciation, grammar, speaking, and exam skills (IELTS, TOEFL, etc). Beginners & advanced speakers welcome. Decades of success learning languages, teaching teenagers & adults. Specializing in phonology (phonetics, rhythm, intonation, etc), fluent grammar in real time conversation, & idiomatic expression mastery. Thanks for taking the time to visit my profile and discover how you can benefit from my full service language training / polyglot coaching. Would you like a teacher who actually knows how to learn languages — and is doing so successfully? If so, you’re the kind of student I love working with. Now, I’m learning Hebrew and 中文, so I’m always finding and testing new strategies & tactics for my students. I believe in the old saying “make new friends and keep the old….” Your time is valuable, and the truth is teachers can write whatever they want. When choosing a teacher, the first thing I look at is (total lessons taught ÷ number of students) - 1 (the 1st lesson isn't a returning student). Beginners & advanced speakers are welcome. Feel free to ask me how you can benefit from my expertise in phonology, phonetics, accent acquisition, grammar acquisition for fluency, academic & business writing, and test preparation to MASTER the AMERICAN ACCENT, PRONUNCIATION, IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, ACT etc. You decide how often we meet — several times a day, once a week, or a single session may be all we ne...

Eu me senti muito confortável em falar com o Phil, normalmente eu fico envergonhada, ou falo pouco, mas a aula flui tão bem, que nem me deixo abater quando erro. Ele me corrige, me ensina um caminho melhor para pronunciar as palavras. Eu adorei!

I had no ideas what Word stress, Connected Words and Rythm were. In past, when I read them in the books, they were like alien code to me. I set the target to get them one day, but this day seemed far away. Mr Phil patiently tutored, challenged and imparted his wisdom to me, and finally, I've conquered them today. As always, thanks for your elegant teaching, Mr Phil :D

It's a relief to know that there is a teacher who can teach (and challenge!) a proficient speaker. Phil is able to point out anything that sounds even slightly off, despite the fact that I speak with a British accent. Our main objective, however, is improving my understanding of phonology so that I could deliver better lessons, whether I'm teaching English or Czech. Our first two lessons were very informative and pleasant. Speaking with someone who is so passionate about the subject is a delight.

Very helpful lesson, as usual Phil provided very useful comunicative tools to handle a wide of variety of situations that help me a lot to get into complex professional scenarios that require strong verbal skills. Thanks so much for keeping the high quality of your classes!
