Philip has taught over 3000 adult English language students and over 400 English language teachers from 35+ countries. He has lived in Thailand since accidentally emigrating in 1991, and discovering that teaching adults was his vocation in life. He moved to Chiang Mai in 2002 and taught for over 10 years at Payap University where he cultivated and developed the learning, communication, teaching and leadership skills of beginner and experienced teachers. You can read and hear what the learning experience is like with Philip in his students’ own words below.
The Tea Tree House sits by a small lake and a huge towering rain tree, amidst the sounds, colours and sights of Thailand’s wondrous nature. It lends itself perfectly as a learning environment. And while the mind and heart are feeding bountifully, Air will be concocting up delicious drinks and lunches to satisfy the body too.
This special and unique learning experience, Course For A Spiritual Revolution, is exclusive to Chiang Mai Residents
This course will take place at our Tea Tree House in the bucolic backwaters of San Patong, so you will enjoy a rustic backdrop to our learning environment. It is a 30-minute drive down the Canal Road from Nimminhaemin Road.
It will run for 8 weeks during July and August, and is open to a maximum of 9 course participants. By the end of the course you will be a true spiritual revolutionary.
Each week you read two chapters of the book, answer the accompanying tasks, and attend a three-hour lesson.
The price is 2400 baht per week, total 19,200 baht. The benefits are for life, so the value is priceless. Home-made lunch is included after each lesson.
This is a course of your Self-Inquiry with Philip’s Guided Discovery.
You develop your reading, listening, speaking, writing and reflective-thinking skills along the way.
From the readings you will explore, reflect and learn:
i) who you are ii) how the web of life works and iii) how to take charge of your own life, health and destiny.
The course keeps you accountable and strengthens your learning experience by sharing the unfolding of your spiritual revolution with your fellow group members’ own spiritual revolutions: a personal transformation in an interpersonal setting.
When we commit to investing in ourselves, when we learn to fully respect and love ourselves, we open up to the world and become a source of joy for all living beings. This is the unfolding process you will experience during our time together:
self-inquiry >> self-awareness >> self-discovery >>
self-knowledge >> self-empowerment >> self-worth >> self-growth >> perpetual spiritual evolution

Learning with Philip (2)
“When it comes to Mr Philip, he is a humorous and vivid teacher and he himself gives us a lively example of being an active teacher first. His teaching methods and skills are so interesting that it has made the course a most enjoyable experience to the students. He is always so patient with the students - a very admirable trait when one people lead other people in doing exercises. Even though it seemed to be very simple, I learned much through this teaching and learning program, not only in teaching skills, but also in some other aspects such as teacher’s attitude towards students.”
~ University Teacher from Chengdu Province, China
“What I have thought of this class is that it is fun, the atmosphere is really laid back and everybody feels comfortable. I’m a bit shy, I don’t really like speaking but within this class I don’t mind speaking out. I am not afraid of saying something wrong because Philip has created this atmosphere where my opinion seems valuable and he will never make me feel bad. I enjoy how honest he is with us (he tells us his secret methods). He really teaches us how he goes about teaching every class. Philip presents us with the topic in a very interesting manner. Resulting in a more efficient learning. The students are more captivated and attentive.”
~ BA student of English Language Methodology class.
“I felt busy and thirsty in almost every period of class because we were highly motivated to engage in all kinds of class activities. In this open system of teaching, we never felt worried about whether our answers are right or wrong, and from the discussion we draw conclusion by ourselves. I’m much amazed at the teacher’s skilful organization of the class.”
~ Teacher from Kunming University of Science and Technology, China

Learning with Philip (3)
He is one of the best teachers I have ever had in my life. I learnt a lot and applied it in my teaching too. Thank him for all of this.
Good course, very interesting and stimulating. Really enjoyed it a lot, I am fully satisfied with this course. Top job!
Another inspirational course from Philip that further strengthened the Task-Based Learning procedure in us. Really enjoyed the class discussions and informal yet structured learning environment.
[Would you recommend others to do this course, and if so, why?] Yes. One word: Philip. He makes this course. People/teachers like him are hard to come by… I most benefitted from watching Philip exemplify what he was teaching us and listening to comments after teaching practice.
Really useful and thoroughly enjoyable and engaging course, and extremely well taught. Interesting content that maintained interest. Thanks very much!
Another great course, sorry we won’t have more to come. Definitely learned a lot of things that I can apply to my teaching, and the course has opened up my mind and given me an invaluable tool (inquiry) with which to move forward with. The fives awarded on this sheet weren’t given lightly. Nice one Philip! Great job!
I most benefitted from Philip because of his way/style of teaching. He uses his heart and warm empathic humanistic qualities to show a great way to relate to people as people and to teach everyone with love and respect.
All of the 5s I marked were earned. I honestly feel this class was the most practical of all the courses. Also,this was learning by doing every hour of every class. Without a single slide every concept was illustrated at length. Downright exceptional.
Another very enjoyable course - all of Philip’s courses have heavily influenced my teaching for the better, and made me think deeply about what I am doing.
Very engaging and thought-provoking. Great fun and highly practical, really useful building blocks for highly effective teaching. Thank you!
I really like this course, the objective is very clear. It brings me positive change to my life too.
