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!

A great tutor
He makes learning fun and he is very nice. He has helped me to improve very much with my reading and with my sounds. Now I'm a better reader. He is patient and can be funny and that makes learning more enjoyable.

Great Diagnostician
Today was my son’s introductory session with Mr. G. The summary from the initial session was quite insightful. My son reported that Mr G was very approachable and kind.

More than a tutor!
My son had a wonderful first session w/ Richard. I was surprised at how much they were able to unpack regarding Andrew's learning issues in one discussion. He also seemed to bring my son into the program and onboard w/ working together. I'm very appreciative!

Richard was able to gauge my daughter's level of comprehension. He made her feel comfortable during the lesson. She didn't feel overwhelmed or nervous. He also provided suggestions on tools and resources to assist with the tutoring.
