Achievements

Philip’s proudest achievement or so he jokes – is being able to claim that he won an egg-and-spoon race at the age of 12, while crossing the equator on his way to Australia...

Teaching Style

In Philip’s class, be prepared for some bad jokes and lots of fun! You will also, of course, learn a great deal, and be expected to contribute in class. Philip hopes to learn from you, as well: One is never too old or too clever to learn from students he says. Above all, Philip gets a great kick out of seeing his students learn and grow.

Something Unique

In a previous life, Philip worked in various bands as a drummer and still loves playing. He also adores the visual arts. And did we mention the bad jokes?
