Master'sAbout Richard
Hi, I'm Richard. I have been helping students as a tutor for over thirty years in subjects as different as accounting and chemistry. My philosophy of tutoring, and teaching in general, is that the student should always be in the process of learning TWO things: the subject at hand, of course, but even more importantly he or she should be learning

"Great, Flexible Tutor"
- Chris, Bronx, NY on 8/18/17Richard is a very knowledgeable and experienced math tutor. He can use a few different teaching styles if youre having difficulty with a particular topic.
"Gifted and natural physics tutor"
- Amy, Bronx, NY on 8/15/17Richard is, by far, the best tutor I've ever had. He helped me prepare for my college physics exam and in 3 sessions I learned more from him than during the 11 weeks of my whole course. He's the 5th physics tutor I had but he's now the only one I call. Very flexible with meeting times and places as well. I am struggling just trying to find the right words to describe what a gifted and natural teacher Richard is. I'll never have to search for another tutor again.
"Knowledgable and effective tutor"
- Meredith, Bronxville, NY on 7/15/17My first session with Richard was very helpful. He understands how to present and teach detailed information in an organized and concise manner, surely not an easy task but his experience shows. My only regret is not finding him sooner! He also has a great personality and sense of humor so working with him is not dull and boring, rather fun. Thanks Richard! I look forward to continuing our lessons!
"Knowledgeable and patient tutor"
- Joseph, Bronx, NY on 6/5/17Richard is an awesome tutor! Helped me with Finite Math and made it fun! He is extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter and presented in such a way where it was much easier to grasp than the way my professor was teaching it
"Knowledgeable and patient tutor"
- Rita, Bronx, NY on 5/22/17I know my grandson is very impressed with Richard. I will have to ask him to give me more details. I just know he is very prompt gets into the tutoring immediately.
"Great tutor"
- Samantha, Brooklyn, NY on 8/14/16I feel confident on knowing the specific definitions for both inorganic and organic chemistry and when to apply it. He also covered material that my professor skims over and now I have a better understanding for when a molecule is optically active or active as well as the background of meso.
"Thorough and clear"
- Morgan, Bronxville, NY on 4/22/16Working with Richard was great. He spoke softly and clearly. He was so knowledgeable and was able to answer any question I had. He was also available to meet the next afternoon. In a fast moving class it was very important to me to get started as soon as possible. I look forward to working with him through the remainder of the semester.
"Knowledgeable, Funny, and Effective."
- Brett, New York, NY on 10/22/15Richard helped me go over basic principals in Physics and showed me easy ways to visualize, determine, and solve problems. I am absolutely going to meet with him again, and I would highly recommend him to other students.
"Great Start."
- Patience, Bronx, NY on 10/3/15We feel luck to meet you. My son has more confidence to start Physics. Thank you very much.
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
ACT Math
I have prepared students for the ACT, SAT, GRE, GMAT, MCAT, and DAT for over thirty years, and my students do well because I teach them how to understand the questions rather than rely on tricks that might become invalid from test to test.
Algebra 2
I have taught algebra techniques not only as a topic on its own but also in conjunction with the physical sciences and biology since the 1980s.
American History
I am an economic historian and am currently working on a number of papers for presentation at conferences. I am equally familiar with American and global history.
Chemistry
I have taught chemistry privately and in college for over thirty years and have BS and MS degrees in the subject, as well as R&D experience.
Organic Chemistry
I earned a master's degree in both organic and physical chemistry from NYU in 1983, and worked as a synthetic organic chemist for CIBA-GEIGY in the 1980s.
Physics
I have taught physics on a college level for thirty years, and have related experience in chemistry and biology.
SAT Math
I have taught students for three decades for many standardized exams, including SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, and MCAT. I work from the idea that all of these exams are based on interpreting written material rather than a test of formula memorization.
Trigonometry
I have been tutoring mathematics through calculus for over thirty years. Also, many of the science and engineering courses I tutor assume a knowledge of trigonometry and the ability to apply that knowledge. This gives me a broad background from which to draw examples to help students.
World History
I have a masters degree in medieval studies, am ABD for a PhD in history, and have taught history on the university level for seven years (from ancient history through modern European and American).
