Gets to know the student individually.
We've only had 4 sessions so far, but my daughter is really enjoying Mr. G. She likes how he adapts to her learning style and I like how he is great with communicating with us parents. She is learning new skills and progress is being made already. Very happy so far! We can't wait to see how much she'll learn over the summer.

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.
