Empowering and knowledgeable

Richard has become an essential part of our son's education during the second per of the school year. Our son is doing Online School and he started a new school for the second half of the semester due to us relocating. Richard is helping our son prepare for the upcoming school year as well as overcoming challenges in language arts and math. Richard goes the extra mile every time he has a lesson with Javi he assigns work for him to work. One of the most important things for us as a family is he empowers our son Javi to use his knowledge and to believe in himself. Thank you, Richard!

Jeanneth, 18 lessons with Richard
Tutor responded:

Jeanneth, thank you for your encouraging comments! Javi continues to be a joy to teach -- motivated, intelligent, and always such a young gentleman. I want Javi to succeed - especially in Math - when he returns to school this fall. Support from you, Lazaro and Javi makes me feel like part of the family! Regards, Richard

Knowledgeable and Experienced

Richard took the needed time to prepare the lesson material prior to the tutoring session, which has made our kid's 1st lesson to be quite informative and productive. We shall return for more lessons with him without a doubt.

Robert, 1 lesson with Richard

Excellent with my son!

My son has ADHD and Richard was patient, kind, and helped him feel good about himself while learning. Tutoring was for lower level ISEE exam. Highly recommend Richard.

Sonia, 5 lessons with Richard

Truly Great!!

Richard has been such a great tutor. He takes the time to make sure my daughter understands the work she is doing. I can't thank him enough for his dedication and time. Choosing him would be beneficial to anyone!

Knowledgeable and perfect and experienced tutor for English

Teaching ACT English. Very patient and skilled in teaching, precise, on time and explains well. Gives practice tests to improve the student's ability. Clears doubts with ease. Class goes well, organised and planned both on time and step by step in teaching the subject in depth. My son is very glad to have him as his tutor.

Tutor responded:

Ms. Kumar, thank you for your kind and encouraging words. Vinush is an intelligent and motivated student, and a pleasure to teach! I have high expectations for his future success in ACT English and in all subject areas! Best Regards, Richard

Wonderful!!!

I have worked with Richard for over 15 hours. He actually cares about your success. He always plans ahead and has material ready for the lesson. I am going to miss working with him. I have learned so much from him, and I am very grateful I was able to find such a great tutor. Thank you, Richard. :)

Lozan, 15 lessons with Richard
Tutor responded:

Lozan, your heartfelt words are a teacher's dream come true. Surely, you have been one of my most unforgettable students ever. When I hear this, it will be music to my ears: "Richard, I passed the Praxis 5003 Math today!!" Cheers, Richard

Motivating and patient teacher

Mr. Richard is simply amazing! My boy generally doesn't enjoy reading and writing and with Richard's lessons, he is been forced to write a passage and comprehension weekly. Mr. Richards always motivates him to get better and better. Richard always thoroughly reads all the stories and ensures homework stories are interesting for a reluctant reader. He also provides feedback after each lesson. We are blessed to have Mr. Richard for my son's tutor! Thank you, Mr. Richard!

Rohan, 49 lessons with Richard
Tutor responded:

Hello Rani, Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging feedback on Wyzant.com. It is important to me that Rohan improves his Writing -- but especially his Reading Comprehension. Good reading skills are crucial to success in life! Thank you again. I shall continue to do my very best to improve Rohan's academic skills. Best Regards, Richard Hubbard

Janet, 4 lessons with Richard
Tutor responded:

Janet. Thank you for your kind and encouraging words! Cara has been a bright and motivated student. I am delighted I could make a difference. I wish her much success! Best Regards, Richard

Prepared

Richard has sent me a pre test prior to our lesson. When the lesson happened he had all the material right there in front of us to go over. Preparation was key during this lesson and it paid off.

Dan, 1 lesson with Richard

Thank you for your kind and encouraging comments, Dan. You are an intelligent and very motivated student, and a quick learner in Math. I expect you to succeed on the ASVAB AFQT exam! You've got this! Best Regards, Richard H.
