My daughter enjoys class
My daughter hates learning and doesn’t like tutor sessions. Except for Richard’s. She actually asked to keep taking when I told her if she had mastered a topic she could stop.

Excellent tutor
I had two lessons with Mr. G and he had helped me tremendously with the subject I need to gain strength on. I am very happy with his way of teaching. It’s a sure thing I am going to have more lessons with him.

Very patient , knowledgeable,, and friendly
Richard was very helpful, friendly,, and patient. My son has ADD. Staying on task can be difficult. We are working through sophomore geometry, so patience is critical. Richard was fantastic and we will definitely use him again.

An amazing tutor
So far, Richard has been an amazing tutor for our 15 year old son Simon. He’s patient and always has great suggestions! We haven’t quite found the perfect way to help him yet, but Richard keeps trying and isn’t giving up on him, which is priceless! Truly, getting Richard to help Simon is one of the best decisions we have made for our son. Thank you and we are looking forward to many more lessons with you!

Great refresher.
Didn't go over a lot of new deep insights, but Richard did give me some very helpful refreshers on tricks for maintaining focus, and some specific numbers to use when setting boundaries, which was nice.

Wonderful tutor
My son has been working with Richard for several weeks and I already can see improvements, it is a slow process but the help that he has provided is invaluable and his knowledge and understanding of my son's needs have made every single lesson worthwhile. Lastly, I can say that Richard has given me answers about my son that I have been searching for years and I am following his recommendations. Thank you for your dedication.

Knowledgable and patient EF coach
My son is a hard nut to crack, my 16 years old has this magical thinking about everything is going to work out even though his missing HWs are going to bury him. Rick has a lot of patient with him and trying to tap into what motivates him to do the work he needs to do. My son from very resisting the change now he is talking about the change. Big progress to make. The next thing is to actually change.

Wonderfully kind, wise and patient
Richard has been tutoring my son for several months now in math and helping him better understand how his ADHD brain works. He is able to teach in a calm, creative and patient way that makes my son feel understood and capable of learning. He enjoys Richard's style and personality, which helps him stay more engaged that usual. Thank you so much, Ricard!
