"I got 9 points improvement on my GRE score after working with Richard for about 3 weeks! I can honestly say he’s an amazing tutor. I came into our sessions having taken the GRE previously in the hopes of improving my score. Due to his expertise and knowledge, his amazing listening skills, and endless patience, I was able to comfortably enjoy every single one of our sessions. Now I’m on my way to applying for Graduate school! So if anyone is in need of a tutor, I highly recommend Richard."
“I hired Richard to help me improve my GRE score, and after just a short series of lessons, he helped me increase my quantitative score by 5 points. Although our lessons focused on quantitative subjects, I believe he also helped me increase my qualitative score 3 points with the general tips and support he provided. He offered thoughtful lesson plans that focused on mastering the concepts rather than just pointless shortcuts. He also provided direct input, which was essential to identifying places where I was struggling, or just bad strategies that were time wasters. With hard work and Richard’s guidance, I earned the GRE score I needed to get accepted into competitive programs.”
“He was spectacular. Everything he said was somehow perfectly phrased and the perfect length. I have never had a TA (perhaps even a professor) with the listening and comprehension skills as Richard. He’s an amazing listener, probably in part due his seemingly endless patience, which is 90% of the work in helping a student understand something. He was able to both convey the new material from class yet also discuss interesting tangents about which we were curious. Despite this, talking with him is like talking to your good friend. He manages to absorb what any kind of student says and then reply in their own language — amazing learning empathy. Clearly I’ve thought about this. I’ve earned all A’s and one A- in my 3 years at UT as a mathematics and economics double major, and been a TA myself from Calculus to Weight Training, and this guy stands out very clearly in my mind among not just TAs, but also professors, and definitely tutors. I highly highly recommend him for any and every tutoring position.”
“Richard has helped me better understand portions of the LSAT. He’s patient, knowledgeable about the subject matter, and professional. One of the things I enjoy about being his student is how much he prepares for each session. He doesn’t wing it. He has a clear plan as to where he wants to go and how he wants me to receive the material. His sessions have allowed me to feel more confident when I study independently. Having taken the LSAT before meeting with Richard, I was nervous and how I would do the next time around. With his help I was able to increase my score by eight points and am entering Law school in the fall. I am confident that Richard can assist anyone in increasing their score.”
“Since philosophy is not my strong suit, (I’m an economics major) writing a philosophy paper did not come easy for me. I came to see Richard for help in revising my draft for our final paper and I was glad for various reasons that I finally asked for help:
1. Not only did he explain which areas of my paper I could improve on, he also clearly gave examples on how to improve my paper. Examples, especially for me, gave me a much clearer view on what he was looking for in our paper.
2. He was very patient and willing to help no matter how many questions I had. Instead of giving a vague answer or leaving room for confusion, he allowed me to fully see where and how my paper could be improved. We did not leave a topic until he knew that I felt comfortable that my question had been fully answered, and it was then that we would move onto the next question or concern.
3. Lastly, Richard was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in the explanation of philosophy in general. If a question would arise, regardless of his opinion, he explained the philosophers’ main points very clearly to allow us a better understanding of the philosophers’ ideas. I would definitely recommend him to anyone, without hesitation.”
“Richard has assisted me with philosophy for years as I have been in and out of undergraduate and graduate school. I count my lucky stars that I met him when I did because he has greatly impacted my philosophical development. He’s like an intellectual fitness coach. One thing all prospective students should know about him is that he is incredibly (incredibly) smart and yet not at all pretentious. He's super relatable and kind. He’ll meet you where you are, and fashion his lessons to suit the way your mind works.”
“Richard helped me bring up my grade from a C to an A!! I reached out to Richard for my first philosophy paper in college because I was new to this kind of writing and I had little confidence in my writing abilities. Richard provided me with lots of writing tips, and he highlighted my mistakes so I could learn from them. The same techniques we practiced together on my essays, I was also able to apply to my philosophy exams! I was initially nervous about getting a tutor, but it turns out it was the best investment I could made. Richard has made me more confident both with my writing skills and in the overall class. I plan to continue with Richard over the next four years. I look forward to our next lesson!!”
“I’ve had many tutors, but thus far when it comes to knowing the material and understanding it on short notice, Richard’s the best. His patience has often kept me calm when I was freaking out, and his explanations were always clear and precise. The value I got for the price was the best out there on the market, and he’s a pleasure to talk to. As for the subjects, he is very well-versed in whatever he explains and can explain it in the simplest terms possible, which is helpful for someone who often needs it, such as myself!”
“Richard is more than a tutor, he is an academic guide that conquers your problems with you. In many ways Richard is not like any tutors I have dealt with. First, the man is a savant, hands down the most brilliant man I have ever met. Secondly, you are not dealing with a tutor here, you're working with someone who teaches the material better than the professor. Thirdly, his academic work ethic and array of knowledge is inspiring. It is genius how quickly Richard can read a textbook written by your professor in one night and then suddenly be the professor for you the next day. Lastly, he is the best in the business. The wasted hours I have spent from other “tutors” formed this opinion of mine, and being a student-athlete I have had my fair share of tutors. Richard has saved me thinking I was doomed for multiple paper, finals, and finals by teaching me at my pace (One session once took 6 hours) which ended in being triumphant. So far Richard has a perfect record with me (...). Do yourself a favor and stop stressing because Richard is right here and ready to accommodate.”
“Richard is an easygoing person in face to face interactions, and very accessible to students.”
“Richard has been tutoring my 7th grade son Andrew in mathematics for about a month. My wife and I have been very impressed with Richard’s efforts during this time period. It’s obvious that Richard takes tutoring very seriously, always following up each session with a thoughtful email about what he and Andrew are working on and what the next steps are. He also has managed to keep Andrew engaged and interested, mixing in routine math homework help with interesting higher-level math concepts. Just last night, before he went to bed, Andrew said, ‘Dad, let me show you what I learned today about quadratic equations.’ Can’t ask for more than that!”
I made a perfect score on all three sections on my first try. Let's work together and get you into that grad school.
I won the National Merit Scholarship with 800 Math, 770 Verbal. It's time to boost your score to the peak of your potential.
One of my students raised his math score alone by 8 points. Will you be next?
Analytical Reasoning, Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension: all three sections or the one where you most need help.
Writing, Reasoning, Quantitative, and Verbal - the GMAT is your gateway to getting an MBA. I will teach strategies and techniques for every section on the test.
Organic? Physics? Immunology? Psychology? Analytical Reading? Yes to all of above - and more. The MCAT covers a huge spectrum of material. I can help you through both the basics and the most difficult areas.
I've tutored it, researched it, graded it and taught it in classrooms. I hold both a Bachelor's and a Master's in philosophy, and I nearly have my PhD. Whether you're working on an essay or preparing for a test in logic, you won't find a better philosophy tutor out there.
Papers, essays and research projects. No matter what the subject, I can work with you to find a thesis, write an outline, flesh out your paper and revise it till it shines.
Algebra? Geometry? Calculus? Diffi-Q? I took them all and made high A's. I will break down these concepts into their simplest pieces and walk you through them step by step. Statistics is also on offer. Let me help you get a grip on math!
Biology, chemistry physics and more: I've studied them at the college level and earned top marks. These are challenging courses, but you can succeed in them.
All my subjects are available online.
Using free collaborative programs such as Skype, Zoom, GoogleDocs and digital whiteboards, online tutoring provides a convenient, effective and low-stress way to bring one-on-one instruction directly into your home. Sometimes, it's even more effective than in-person tutoring.
