"Richard is an Excellent Math tutor!"
- Liza, Vallejo, CA on 5/11/12Both my boys are over 17 years old. They needed help in Geometry. Our school system issued math books with poorly written lessons. We needed a tutor with the ability to help my older boys see math in a different way. Not only did Richard provide knowledge, he even brought a school book from another school district that has proven successful across the board.
Richard is patient, kind, and willing to explain a topic in many ways until the boys understood.
Richard is respectful and willing to work around personal parameters.
We highly recommend Richard for Math!
We thank WyzAnt for providing such a wonderful service!
