It was the first meeting with my son and he was very happy and excited to know Richard better as his tutor. We'll continue working with Richard. He is very knowledgeable in his field and very supportive!

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 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.
- Cathy F. from Hialeah, FL
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.

Richard taught our son GeometryHN and study skills. He is very patient, understanding in helping our son learn the subject. Richard was also very flexible to accommodate our scheduling requests. Most importantly, our son likes tutoring, which in itself reflects Richard?s affable personality. Great Tutor!!!

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.

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!

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.
- Nick L. from Kirkland, WA
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.
- Carmen M. from Maumelle, AR
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.

- Laycee P. from Lynn, IN
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!
- Jennifer C. from Vancouver, WA
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.
- Dionne R. from Clifton, VA
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.
- Dru H. from Chapel Hill, NC
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!
- Rachel S. from Brookline, MA
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.
