About Richard

Bio

I am a very experienced tutor (>5 years) who has helped many students (Ages 7 - 21) in a range of subjects, most especially Algebra. I am also great at helping students prepared for standardized tests like the ASVAB, SAT and PRAXIS exams.

I have taught at five colleges in the Philadelphia area, mostly math and chemistry, over the last 12 years. I also love kids, having spent five years working in the Big Brothers program. I am very fun and flexible - You and your child will enjoy me...

I am very fun and flexible - You and your child will enjoy me thoroughly, and I will help put them at easy and get them smiling.

I live in Phoenixville, but work as a Physics teacher in Warminster. Thus I can meet near either location.

Featured review

Awesome tutor!

Richard helped me to study for my ASVAB test and really helped me to get a better score. It only took a few sessions to see an improvement. He explained everything in the easiest way so I could understand the information and not forget. He also found my areas of weakness and focused on them. He is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for tutoring.

Patient and Knowledgeable

Richard assisted my youth with studying for her ASVAB math section. He was attentive and patient. She left feeling more confident in some of the material. Richard assisted her with each problem as needed. Will be using him again!
