Hi! I'm Rich. I've been a professor of mathematics for over 30 years at the college level. I just recently retired, but I am continuing my work in education by tutoring math. I have a bachelor's and a master's degree in mathematics and an extensive background in Statistics.

The courses I've taught most often are Statistics, Algebra, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus, and Applied Mathematics. However, I can tutor other math subjects as well. My educational background in math covered the entire spectrum.

I really enjoy working with students of all ages, especially one-on-one tutoring. The student evaluations of my teaching have always been extremely positive. Students appreciate the way I can explain things clearly in a way they can understand.

I am a co-author of the math textbook Basic Technical Mathematics with Calculus. I also have extensive experience teaching and tutoring online.

I look forward to working with you!

I have a very strong educational background as well as extensive experience teaching math to students of various ages and backgrounds. I am a good listener and can explain math to students in clear, understandable language. I am very knowledgeable of all the math topics in middle and high school, as well as college.

Please contact me if you would like to set up tutoring or if you have any additional questions. I look forward to the possibility of meeting and working with you.

the best

He helped me a lot and he was very patient. Very smart and knowledgeable, really worth getting him as your tutor you will not regret it. I cannot thank him enough for helping me with my project.

Mylene , 3 lessons with Richard

Great lesson with Richard

My son reported that Richard explained his statistics material very well, in a way that made sense. Richard was also communicative with me before the lesson, to make sure he understood my son's needs in advance, and the specific skills he was struggling with. Richard did not just "wing it" in the lesson but put in the effort to understand the situation, which was much appreciated.

Knowledgeable and patient!

Rich has been able to explain stats concepts in a clear way that can be understood. He clearly is knowledgeable and is patient. His availability is more than most tutors we have come across.

Extremely helpful and builds understanding

Richard is extremely patient and took the time to carefully review my work with me. I left the session feeling relieved that I finally had a full understanding of the content. I would highly recommend booking time with Richard!!

Research Statistics / Graduate Studies

I am in Doctoral school and needed assistance in IMB SPSS. He was very knowledgeable, to the point, and did not waste my time or his. Helped with exactly what I needed. I recommend and will request again!

Clear at explaining the overview and details

Richard helped me with my practice for my college level statistics course, in preparation of an exam. We covered linear regression equations, TTests, Chi squared, and ANOVA equations, and all kinds of word problems. I did not have time to share with him examples beforehand and he didn’t miss a beat. He’s EXTREMELY knowledgeable and patient and great at walking me through my rough patches. I had been really struggling and this was the first time it fell into perspective. I already hired him again to help me practice for my final exam. Best thing is I requested that he show me how to do things on a TI-84 and he knew how to do it! (We are allowed to use those for exams). Other tutors I had, and even Artificial Intelligence just uses either excel (the former) or the ridiculously long and complex equations to solve manually (AI). I took my non-final after practicing with Richard and did great.

knowledgable and kind tutor

I was completely lost in SPSS for a stats class and Richard helped me understand how to do what I needed to do for my project. He helped me understand my data better and I was able to finish my report because of his lesson. Thanks, Richard!
