Richard is an AMAZING tutor. I have some problems that make it difficult for me to grasp a concept but he is just so patient! Through him, I was able to learn so much, in just a short amount of time! My algebra grade will surely go up because of his help. Thank you so much Richard, hopefully we can schedule more sessions!
