My most useful experience is personal in taking care of my son who is ADHD. I have a doctorate in Education and a master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. My prior students include over 30 students with ADD/ADHD.
American History

American History

Throughout my undergraduate studies all of my electives were in History, mostly U.S. History. My master's and doctoral degrees are in Education, but along the way I did also take 18 graduate school History classes so that I could teach at the college level. I will gladly tutor from the 10th grade through the 2nd year of college.

Career Development

Career Development

I have been an Admissions Officer in two separate universities where my position required me to ask questions and listen to answers in order to assist students in choosing a career of their own volition. I have also assisted these students and others through some online testing that is available in order for them to see results to either agree with or disagree. Through these results I have been able to further inquire if they may have interest in certain careers.
College Counseling

College Counseling

I am a senior admissions officer at a top-tiered university. I review college applications daily and know what your application needs. I belong to many professional organizations and network with hundreds of other schools. My fee may be higher but at this critical stage in life should you risk it by not working with the best?

ISEE

ISEE

I tutor for ISEE and SSAT students in the Reading, Writing, and Verbal portions of the test only but have helped students achieve outstanding results. In the last two years, I have helped over 20 students score in the top 10% I begin with a diagnostic evaluation to find out where to begin so that we can end up where you need to be!
Literature

Literature

Reading and understanding Literature is to get inside the author's head and to relate to the various characters, surroundings, time, and location. As an author myself I teach students just how to relate to each author separately. From my Associate's Degree through my PhD I have studied Literature from American Lit to English Lit from 1600 to modern authors. I have read a majority of the classics and am a constant reader to this very day. There will no use of Spark Notes or any other kind of short cuts. I want to know what the student is reading presently so my assistance can also be very specific.

I wrote and produced similar seminars for AT&T employees on similar subjects including success. I have spoken to audience as small as 1 and as large as 2,000.

Richard is Great!

Richard is working with my son on ISEE test prep. He's knowledgeable, patient, reliable, and has a great way to command my kid's attention. His coaching style is to the point, and explanations are accessible, clear, and fun. After few bad experiences with no-show tutors I feel very lucky to find this gem. I couldn't recommend Richard high enough. Thank you!!

Great tutor

During our online sessions, we went over several essay drafts and resumes that I was wanting to use for college applications. He was very helpful and did a great job of helping me improve my papers.

Great tutor, works quickly

Richard H. Is a great tutor. He helped me edit and revise my statement of purpose for my graduate school application. I already had a draft developed and he was really helpful in fine tuning it. We finished our process in less than a week in order to meet my deadline! He is really willing to go the extra mile for his students.

Samantha, 2 lessons with Richard

Experienced. Personalized. Highly motivated.

From the get-go, his approach was personalized with great input from his own experiences and knowledge. He even provides his own research for colleges you are interested in applying for. He updated me with new information he found and checked in on my progress before your meetings, so our meetings would be productive. You can tell he has a true passion for what he does. So glad I was able to work with him!
