Insightful, Patient Tutor
Richard has been incredibly insightful and patient with me throughout my college applications, despite being under an extremely tight time constraint. With each Wyzant lesson, I have learned more and more from him. But most importantly, it is apparent that he cares about his students. He is the best tutor I could ask for, and I feel extremely grateful that he was able to help me get into my dream university. Thank you, Richard. - Marcus

Great Tutor!
We were so fortunate to find Richard to help my daughter improve her college art portfolio. He made her think “outside the box”, and she created some extraordinary projects because of his guidance. He kept her on track, and he really helped her hone her skills and technique as well. He offered excellent advice regarding each college in which she was interested. She got into her top school, and Richard played a huge role as her inspiration, motivator, and mentor. We highly recommend him!

the best!!!
Richard is a gem of a teacher! He has been amazing, helping me with the portfolio process for college applications! He gives the best advice and provides me with a lot of insight through his own experience. Richard has been really helpful with keeping me on track and providing me with projects. He is not only very informed about all of the art schools in the US, but is also extremely knowledgeable about everything art related. I am incredibly fortunate to have found him!

Amazing, Knowledgeable Instructor
It was obvious from our first meeting that Richard really knows his stuff. He worked with my daughter on her AP Drawing portfolio. She’s resistant to trying new things, but he got her to work in her skills with charcoal, shading, lines, etc. I hope to have him work with her on her Sr. Portfolio for art schools. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their portfolio for college applications and AP classes.
