Our Story

‘English Tutoring by Philip Brown’ began as a part-time occupation while Philip worked for The Age and as National Information Manager for Media Monitors. When Philip left working in the City, he began tutoring VCE students full-time. Over the years former clients, who had progressed to tertiary studies and entered workplaces, returned for editing and proofreading services related to their more advanced studies. And so the business expanded and grew…

What Our Students Say

“Philip tutored me in my final two years of high school. I enjoyed English classes at school but found that only so much can be done in the classroom. With Philip, texts were analysed in more detail and themes were discussed at greater length. Most importantly, Philip shared with me his love of writing. I used to dislike writing essays. Now I am completing a 10,000 word thesis at Melbourne University.”

Yinkuan

“I needed to improve the quality of my writing.’English Tutoring by Philip Brown’ taught me essay techniques that have stayed with me. I have now completed my Pastoral Counselling degree at the Australian Catholic University.”

Simon

“Philip helped me to think clearly about the texts and to develop analytical writing. I am now completing a Bachelor of Pharmacy at Monash University, Melbourne.”

"I was tutored by Philip whilst I was in year 12 during 2012. I found his academic assistance and insight into VCE English invaluable during this time and attribute my success to his support. He is a very kind and knowledgeable person. Thank you Philip!"

Ella

"Philip has a knowledgeable, open-mind to the studied literary texts. Through deep discussion of the broader ideas, Philip has expanded my understanding, as well as helped me improve my vocabulary and condensed my previously lengthy writing style. He knows how to adapt to certain individuals, using many anecdotes as examples to get an idea across. He has enabled me to maintain my high A score average, and I look forward to his help in the upcoming exam period!"

Mikayla
