Hello, my name is Richard and I'm a Professional Tutor based in the Windermere and West Orlando areas. I've been tutoring students in middle school, high school, college, nursing and medical school, and FLVS students for the past 10 years. I currently specialize in math and science, but I also tutor most other subjects such as the language arts and test preps including SAT, ACT, GED, and TEAS.

About Me: I graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor's in Biology and went though 4 years of medical school before deciding to adapt my education toward health informatics. In pursuit of this, I recently graduated from University of Central Florida with a degree in Health Informatics and Information Management and received my RHIA certification.
Throughout my time at UF, I worked primarily as a tutor for students struggling to transition from high school to college level sciences, though I also tutored elementary through high school students in all subjects. With UF having a large foreign student population, I also tutored language arts for both native speakers of English and for those whom English is a second language. I am confident in teaching math, science, and language arts of elementary though undergraduate college levels as well as basic medical sciences for nursing or medical students and various test preps such as TEAS, SAT, ACT, and GED or FLVS courses. I believe in emphasizing core concepts and fundamental ideas. Together we will work to first understand the nature of the problem, second the principles involved, and finally how to arrive at a solution as well as any tricks to speed things along the way.

I hold myself to a high standard and am always looking to improve my skills. Therefore I encourage my students to feel free to voice any concerns, ideas or comments they may have. You will find me to be both patient and persistent, with a sincere interest in helping you acquire mastery of your subject.

Approved Subjects

Chinese

Before college, I attended a Chinese language school every week for 12 years graduated with straight A's. During college I took tests at the University of Florida which placed me out of having to take the required 2 years of Chinese. I have most recently tutored Chinese 1 and 2 for students at Florida Virtual School for 3 years as well as served as a professional translator for Mandarin speaking persons here on business trips.

Impressive tutor

We hired Richard to help my son in crunch time try to bring up his grades. I was not sure how my son would respond as he was very resistant to the entire tutor idea. The fact that my son had no complaints about him is probably the highest compliment he could get ;)!! Lol. From a mothers standpoint, I was very impressed at how he reported back to me the status and follow up agreements they made as well as his flexibility and quick response time in setting appointments. Very pleased.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Tutor, Math and English for the SAT exam. My son grades excel tremendously. Richard took his time and was able to teach my son how to master each subject. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor, whether it be SAT exam, ACT exam. He’s can also help if you are just looking for a tutor for other subjects. He’s does it all.

Natalia, 1 lesson with Richard

Excellent tutor

Richard is very knowledgeable in Chemistry. He demonstrated a lot of patience with me and gave multiple examples for me to associate the scientific terms to something I could relate to. He broke down each problem to simplify processes and prompted me as we worked the problems together. By the end of the first session, I was able to do a problem with little guidance. He is a keeper!

Knowledgeable and friendly

It was the first AP biology tutoring lesson with Richard. He was friendly and polite. He took his time and was able and knowledgeable to answer all questions. He even brought in his medical knowledge what made it very interesting for my son and the content therefore seemed more practical. Thank you.
