If you have aspirations of a career in the sciences, economics, finance, or even business, then mathematics is quite possibly the most important language to learn. Having a good background in Algebra, Geometry, and even Pre-Calculus now will make things so much easier when you get subjects like Calculus and Differential Equations later on.

Please ask me about group rates and referral bonuses! I realize hiring a tutor can be a big investment but one that can pay off in the long run.

Let's get together for a session and see if it's a good fit!

All the best,
Rich

Patient and effective math tutor

Richard is a great tutor. He not only helped our son better understand the concepts and processes needed for Algebra, he also taught the importance of doing work beyond the school assignment. This was very helpful in preparing for both the SAT and ACT tests. Richard's firm and patient approach helped build our son's confidence in his ability to "do math." Thank you, Richard!

What an enthusiastic tutor!

My 15 year old son had his first Algebra 2 lesson with Rich last week and he really liked it. Rich explained math very well in a way that was easy for my son to understand. He's excited and looking forward to the next lessons. This makes us very happy parents.

Precalc

Excellent job. My daughter had been struggling with Pre Calc. After the first session with Richard she received an 18 out of 20 on her next quiz. Definite improvement!

Marty, 4 lessons with Richard

A very helpful tutor.

Great at explaining and helping me understand some of the difficulties that I was having in Trigonometry. He is taking the time to meet with me in person and I very much appreciate that. He's a great tutor.

Nancy, 2 lessons with Richard

Great Tutor!

Richard helped me get better at manipulating equations where other internet-based resources fell short. He listens and knows how to uncover my mistakes and show me the right ways to get things done with equations without a lot of extraneous explanations. He's great!

Karen, 1 lesson with Richard

Patient and Persistent

Richard is doing an excellent job tutoring our daughter in Algebra. He is patient with her when she gets frustrated, and is persistent when she wants to give up.

Steve, 9 lessons with Richard

A solid approach

Rich is terrific. He listens, then explains how "he would" solve the problem. His approach is different (which is what I need) than what's provided in the course. I'd highly recommend.

Wes, 1 lesson with Richard

Helpful tutor session

How to better understand the problems and what they are saying. Made it easier for me to take the quizzes. I scored the best score I have ever scored this semester.

Marc, 1 lesson with Richard

Knowledgeable, friendly tutor

My daughter has had a hard time with math for years. Richard is incredibly patient, helpful, and explains things in a way that she understands and can apply. She is receiving tutoring in Adv. Algebra.

Knowledgeable with great teaching skills

Richard was great at using language that made things make more sense to me. He was clear, easy to listen to, and very patient. Better than any teachers I have had in the past few years.
