Founder & Senior Education coach – Falguni Patel
Multi Award Winning Serial Entrepreneur,
TEDx and Keynote Speaker, Mentor & Coach
After working full-time and later training as an ESOL & TEFL teacher, education wasn’t originally the career path I imagined for myself. However, in 2012 I decided to set-up PHTS after receiving a great response with students I tutored via an agency.
I chose to focus not only on academic achievements, but coaching students to develop confidence, resilience, independence, and a love for learning.
Alongside tutoring, my experience in business, leadership, and personal development has shaped the way I support students and families; taking a holistic approach that recognises that success is about more than grades.
Testimonial: “Falguni’s energy and passion shone through for the judges. Her values and drive made her a clear winner. Everything she does has her students’ well-being at the core. She is leaving a legacy of compassion and encouragement”

About Us
We take a holistic approach to learning, rather than focusing only on the results.
At PHTS, we provide a quality, tailored service to match our students' needs. We aim to identify areas of difficulty and assist students to set SMART targets, so they can see results fast.Our tutors are professionals who create an enjoyable working atmosphere, building rapport with the students, so they feel comfortable asking questions, discussing work they don't understand, as well as building vital skills in communication and comprehension.
​
Many students stay with us through out their school life; receiving general guidance, support and assistance with home work and exam revision. Some students may only require short term assistance over the exam period.
Our tutors are flexible and will work around what the students' requires.
​
Our Tutors come from various backgrounds and specialise in their subjects. They are confident enough to guide and advise both students and parents in the best possible way to achieve their goals. Our tutors have a full DBS check and can visit students at home at their convenient time.

Our Charity Partner
"Our vision is that no child should be deprived of education because of poverty and hunger."

Akshaya Patra - UK
Since 2025, we have partnered with Walking Hero to help raise funds and vital awareness for the charity Akshaya Patra – they are working to eliminate child food poverty, by providing nutritious meals to nearly 2.3 million children in the UK. Their award-winning programme serves the community to help disadvantage children.
​
We have raised nearly £2000 via our walking events and help bring attention to the crisis many children are facing in the UK.
We at PHTS understand that when a child is hungry, the attention span is limited, and they are unable to retain information; which then reflects directly on their results. So, we felt this was an amazing cause to support and look forward to continue working to help such an amazing charity.
Testimonial "Falguni has been an outstanding ambassador for Akshaya Patra, giving her time, energy and enthusiasm to raise awareness of child hunger and inspire others to support our mission. She has helped in raising both awareness and funds to support our programmes by organising various charity events.

iSpeak - online English Classes
‘iSpeak’ was set up in 2020, in partnership with Bright Futures an NGO in India; the aim was to teach English to vulnerable students from under-privileged background, where education is not seen as priority.
iSpeak helps the students improve their spoken English and provide them with much needed practical support, potentially creating opportunities for them to further their education or in employment.
​
It is fully supported by 3 volunteers from the UK, who provide online English classes during the week – we are now in the 6th year and hoping to recruit further volunteers, so we can support more students.
​​
As the classes within the NGO are predominantly taught by non-qualified teachers; we also provide much needed online teacher training; so they can further support many more students.
​
Not only do we support the students, we also provide valuable teacher training to the staff and team members of Bright Futures.
Testimonial: "Falguni remained consistent, a beacon of light in the sea, guiding the kids, slowly and steadily. The students are living in zero resources in slums. The kids did not even know how to use zoom, very little English, unstable connection, low on accountability, dim lighting, the challenges were immense.
I then requested Falguni to do teachers’ training for our team, they are not trained teachers, everyone is on a different level and again Falguni came to the rescue.
So many students are now speaking advanced English at Bright Futures, thanks to Falguni and the efforts of iSpeak volunteers; so many have got jobs at the age of 18/19 years, thanks to their English classes with iSpeak over the last six years.
