CLHS Educator of the Year - AP, IB, and Undergraduate Math Specialist
"Why study mathematics?" and "How will I ever understand this stuff?" are two of the most real and common questions I am asked when students, along with their parents, ask me to help. I use methods and techniques that I've perfected over the years to show the applicability and the beauty behind "the beast" known as mathematics...and my students get it.
I break down and re-assemble the processes of math so that they can be easily applied to corresponding situations, especially "word"...

Excellent math tutor!
Richard has proven to be an excellent math tutor. He just completed tutoring our oldest son in a college level statistics course - and brought him from lacking confidence and almost failing to very confident and getting a high "B" as his final grade. It took a lot of hard work and perseverance, and he could not have done it without Richard's patience, instruction and excellent guidance on how to study the complex materials involved in the course. Richard is also tutoring our younger son in Geometry. Only a year ago, our younger son hated math and had zero confidence in his abilities to do math well. Over the past 6 months of working with Richard, our son has completely turned around and is now doing very well and getting solid B's. He even told a friend of ours that his favorite class this year is Geometry. Wow! What makes Richard so good? Not only is he very good at math - he is very good at teaching. He seems to have an uncanny ability to adjust his style and methods to match the student's way of learning - and genuinely cares about increasing their confidence in their math abilities. He is not afraid to hold them accountable to do the work it takes to understand the material, but does so in a way that makes the student want to learn. We highly recommend Richard to anyone struggling in math.

great teacher
‘RICHARD worked with my 16-year-old son today. As we all know pleasing a teenager is not the easiest thing to do. But when Nicholas got out of his meeting he immediately wrote me and his mother to tell us how much he enjoyed working with Richard and how much he learned in just one session. We will be working with Richard more in the future and I highly recommend him.

Very well prepared!
Richard managed an enormous amount of content with our daughter. He was thorough, prepared, and very responsive. She needed help with concepts that were more advanced than she has managed in the past, and his guidance was helpful!

Knowledgeable and patient teacher.
Richard was able to help my son prepare for a pre-calculus test using the Wyzant video chat option. My son said the video option worked great and feels prepared for his test tomorrow.

My daughter had been struggling all week on her Algebra II. She left tutoring feeling confident and relieved that she understood everything. Richard is very patient.

First time using Wyzant
Richard was able to clarify some concepts around IB Calculus for our junior-aged child. Our child thought the session was informative and helpful. We would use Richard again if the need arose.
