"Even when providing critique, his approach comes from a place of recognizing our potential and genuinely wanting to help us reach it."
"I loved how joyful Phil was - he always celebrated our best moments!"
​
"I can say without hesitation that Phil stands out as an exceptional teacher"
"He essentially rolls a natural 20 on every perception check"
"Make (a) 304 lesson plan, adv. Musical theatre, based on what you taught last time? Would be happy to pay you for it."
