Philip Sims

With over 13 years of experience teaching in primary schools in England and France, I bring a dynamic and engaging approach to tutoring that combines expertise with creativity. My online lessons are interactive and carefully structured to capture your attention while developing essential skills. I use open questioning techniques to spark curiosity and encourage you to think more deeply, fostering independence and critical thinking.

Technology plays an important role in my sessions, and I make thoughtful use of Zoom and Google Meet's interactive tools—such as breakout rooms, whiteboards, and polls—to keep lessons lively and collaborative. Whether we are exploring literacy, numeracy, or broader cross-curricular topics, I design thought-provoking activities that are both fun and meaningful. I will also keep up-to-date with what is new to make sure my lessons are always as sharp and effective as can be.

My students benefit from clear, constructive feedback, which helps them build confidence and see tangible progress. I am known for my warm, caring, and approachable personality, which allows me to create a supportive learning environment where children feel safe to make mistakes, share ideas, and grow as learners. Parents often comment on the energy and enthusiasm I bring to each session, as well as my ability to tailor lessons to their child’s unique strengths and areas for development.

Ultimately, my goal is not only to help you succeed academically but also to inspire a genuine love of learning, so that you approach challenges with curiosity and resilience. I look forward to meeting you wherever you may be on this exciting journey of learning.
