What's Included In The Friendly Pedant's Guide

Meet Your Guide

My name is Philip Tilson, and I have held a deep respect for the precision of English grammar for as long as I can remember.

Mind you, this wasn’t always the case. As a schoolboy, I was strictly a man of science. I mistakenly thought that the study of the English language was reserved for those destined to be teachers!

My "Damascene conversion" came when I discovered that grammar and linguistics possess a technical logic just as fascinating as any physics or mathematical problem. Because English derives from a delicious mix of roots – Romance, Scandinavian, Germanic, Greek, and Latin – it is full of eccentricities that offer endless opportunities for technical mastery.

Fortunately, because I have spent years navigating these paths, you don’t have to.

In creating this programme, I have isolated the most common errors that beset English speakers today. I present them in a clear, easy-to-follow manner, stripped of unnecessary technical jargon.

The number one thing I’ve learned on this journey? You don’t need a university degree to present your thoughts with impeccable style. Once you understand the fundamental rules, the sky is the limit for what you can achieve.

But what you really want to know is: Can I actually help you?

In the current state of the UK job market, "near enough" is no longer good enough. If you are missing out on interviews because a robot found a "technicality" in your prose, that is a problem we can fix together.

Don’t waste another moment. Get the tools you need to beat the ATS bots and start lining up those interviews.

This Programme is for you if:

  • You want to learn how to get more responses from the companies you apply to

  • You value the opportunity to get past the ATS robot that is blocking your path

  • You have had enough of the perpetual roundabout and want to get in front of the recruiter 

What Categories Do I Focus On?

  • People who have a lot to offer, but are being held back because they just weren't taught the right way to approach the marketplace

  • ​Those who aspire to be better than their competitors in the field

  • ​Keen jobseekers who may have thought AI chatbots were their route to success

  • ​And many more!

This Programme is NOT for you if:

  • You're not willing to take instructions and prefer to figure things out on your own with trial and error.

  • You don't think it really matters whether you use correct English, as long as your meaning is understood 

Frequently Asked Questions

What skill level is this Programme aimed at?

I don't assume any particular existing skill level in English, just a willingness to follow through the specific elements, examples and tips and to put what you learn into practice with your job applications

How long do I have access to the Programme & when does it start?

The short answer to this is as long as you like! Ordering this programme gives you lifetime access, not only to the existing collection of videos, but also to all of those new additions that I will be adding in the future. And it can start the moment you click the link! And all for just one single payment.

Can't I learn all of this on Youtube?

Of course! There are thousands of courses on the internet offering to teach you English grammar, most of them fairly technical and involving many hours of study – and considerable cost! But do you really have time for all that? What I am offering is a fast, easy-to-follow set of short videos that get to the heart of the errors that people make most often, and that can cause you to be rejected before you even start.

Should I invest in The Friendly Pedant's Guide before spending time in further job applications?

Definitely! A couple of hours spent going through this programme will save you days of wasted time applying for jobs which won't let you get past the first stage because of the errors in your CV and personal statement
