I am going into my 32nd year of teaching full time with a BA in Social Studies and a minor in Government. For the past 19 years I have taught AP U.S Government and Politics in the classroom. This is my 3rd year of tutoring online. I truly believe that the ability I have had to build relationships with students either in person or online and the commitment I have had to take a personal investment in seeing them be successful as a student is the main reason they have been successful in comprehending the material of AP U.S. Government and scoring well on the College Board Exam.

I have an outgoing personality and seem to be able to communicate well with a variety of different types of students. I take great pride in my role as a teacher. I feel it is very important for students to have a strong understanding of U.S. government and politics since it can impact their daily life now and in the future. So in closing, I am passionate to see students succeed, committed to go the extra mile and i take pride in engaging students with lessons that they can relate to and understand. I am just a click away from helping to put you or your son/daughter on the path to "Strive for a 5" on the College Board Exam.

Knowledgeable, kind ,Punctual and Professional

Mr.Rick genuinely cares for his student. He explains everything painstaking and shares all his slides and written material so that his students can revise them whenever they want. He is so caring, that he remembers my daughter's test dates and was concerned as to how she did in her test. We are taking AP Government classes and he is just amazing.

Knowledgable and Great Tutor for AP Government

I worked with Rick for my son's AP Government exam preparation. He is a great tutor and gave great information to grasp. My son started liking the way he teaches. He provided the model questions on time and worked with my son during the session. He is very knowledgeable and always available to help him. I highly recommend him for the AP Government. He is definitely a go to tutor and I would rate more than 5 stars.

Outstanding tutor

My high school Junior daughter decided to take AP government test a few weeks before the test date. She made a quite a sudden decision, so needed some help as much as she could get in a given time. So, we found Rick and requested his help. She took three lessons by now and felt much more comfortable about this test. I was told Rick offered his instruction but also many helpful strategies on how to approach of the test. His tutoring proved invaluable preparing AP test and we thank him for a job far better than well-done. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Rick was really good!

Thanks, Mr. Rick, for helping my son prepare for the AP US Government exam. My son took his first AP exam as a high school freshman and received a 5. Rick was really good at explaining concepts, my son enjoyed his lessons and Q&A practice sessions.

Great teacher, patient and encouraging

Thanks, Mr. Rick, for helping my son prepare for the AP Government exam. Rick explains concepts very well, is patient, and he has a good approach to reviewing the material, working with the timeline we have. I know my son will feel confident going into the exam. My son always enjoys his lessons with Rick, even though he is tired after a long day of school.

Excellent Tutor

Rick is such an amazing tutor in so many different ways. He doesn’t only know the material but she breaks it down. Most importantly he makes sure you understand the work! As well as very accommodating to many different learning styles. Highly recommended!
