Richard has truly been a godsend when it comes to my daughter and physics! He is very patient and has a way of explaining concepts until she understands them. She was very resistant to working with a tutor, but now she's so happy that he is helping her keep her head above water. And I am happy that to no longer worry that she might fail.
Remington B. from Bothell, WA
I struggled in College Algebra until I began tutoring with Richard. His tutoring made all the difference. He has been very patient. He even tutored me over the phone, at my request, when I was contagious with the flu. I am currently happy to have Richard tutoring me in Pre-Calc and Chemistry.

Richard has been helping my son, who has Asperger's, through some very difficult math. He is patient and my son always comes home more calm after working with Richard. My son has a calculus test coming up, and Richard is working with him through limits at infinity and derivatives, helping him feel like this is something he can do! The ACT math review was very helpful, especially coming off of a summer of only individual review. The guidance Richard gave was both instructive and relevant. We are always very positive about math and difficult topics in our home, and Richard has provided us with the extra support my son has needed to help his understanding become more solid. He's a wonderful resource!

Great tutor! I am impressed with Richard's professionalism. Our goals with our college son are being carried out with responsible diligence. Richard goes beyond most tutors, making extra efforts to make sure our son understands assignments, completes homework on time, and stays on course with goals. He's bright, knowledgeable, and personable! It is a great relief to have Richard in our lives.
Russ S. from Seattle, WA
Richard is great, friendly, and very knowledgeable. I've worked with him twice and would definitely do so again. Highly recommended!
Joan L. from Woodinville, WA
Richard H. was a fantastic tutor for my daughter who needed to pass calculus. He not only helped her through the subject matter, but near the end of the quarter when she needed to make a final push to succeed, Richard was ahead of the game to the point of intervening on her behalf with the teacher. I cannot speak highly enough of his dedication to her success, and his willingness to size up reality correctly and take action to address what was needed. He was super responsive as well. I highly recommend Richard H.
Bonny G. from Sammamish, WA
Richard’s tutoring was instrumental in my daughter’s SAT Math score. His flexible approach to tutoring can cater to any student’s need. He is very encouraging and patient.
Niecole C. from Everett, WA
I spent 2 hours with Richard preparing for my Physics II final. Richard was awesome. He was extremely quick to help me solve each problem. He is also great with helping me understand conceptually what each problem is asking me. He is a fantastic tutor who is able to teach me while adapting to my learning style. Worth every penny!!
Barbara K. from Edmonds, WA
Richard is extremely well qualified and able to help at every level. He is a good listener and patient with a teenager. My son is quite comfortable with Richard and feels free to ask questions. My son has gained confidence and greatly improved his Pre-Calculus skills and his grades. Richard is very efficient with the time he spends with my son, and they get a great deal accomplished in a short amount of time. Highly recommended!
Lucy M. from Bellevue, WA
So personable and helpful! Richard is patient and very thorough. Also very professional! He is prompt and courteous! We highly recommend him.
Melanie F. from Seattle, WA
Richard helped me through my first quarter of graduate-level statistics. He was very patient, and worked through many problems with me to help me gain a better understanding of the underlying concepts. He was even available to help me by phone when I was struggling with an assignment. I feel like I have a good grasp of the material thanks to Richard's help, and I got an A in the class!
Elizabeth P. from Kirkland, WA
Extremely patient and calm with our daughter, which she really appreciates. She gains quite a bit of confidence from working with Richard. He is also very easy to contact and flexible when we need to change times or add extra time to her sessions. He has been very helpful with our daughter's Algebra II homework, physics homework, and SAT math review.
Mark C. from Bellevue, WA
Richard is a very patient and kind. He does not rush through a lesson. He makes sure that the student feels confident about the material before moving forward. He is very easy to get in contact with - whether it is by phone, email or text. My daughter really like working with him since he is very understanding and has great experience. Thank you, Richard.
Maureen K. from Bellevue, WA
My son has really enjoyed his AP Calculus tutoring sessions with Richard. He finds Richard to be a good teacher who knows the subject matter well. He communicates well with my son making learning easier. We would highly recommend Richard as a tutor!
Karen M. from Woodinville, WA
Richard was the first tutor to respond quickly to me, providing his cell number and willing to go over Algebra problems over the phone. He helped me to understand concepts that I had much difficulty with, and had final exams approaching. With his help, I not only understood the concepts, I managed to get a B in College Algebra and an A in Chemistry!
Karen S. from Bothell, WA
Richard works with my daughter in prepping for the SAT Subject Test. He's providing great ways to work through problems faster in order to achieve a higher score. My daughter feels she is improving in speed and accuracy. We will continue to work with him up through the test and hopefully then, throughout the school year for AP Calc. Thankful to have found him.
Jonathan J. from Bothell, WA
After two sessions with Richard I was able to take my test and got a "A". Not only did Richard get me caught up in nearly a day, he was able to help me learn the material and learn it at a fast pace. If you got a timeline that you got to meet and need to get the martial done ASAP but then be able to "ace" your test, Richard's your guy! Thanks Richard!
Louise C. from Woodinville, WA
Richard has helped our son John continue to keep a B plus this semester and feel confident. Also, John admires Richard and actually has a good time with him. Highly recommend Richard.
Ahmed K. from Bothell, WA
Richard is very knowledgeable, experienced, professional, conscientious, and very dedicated, he is probably one of the best teacher you would ever find. we feel very lucky that he is tutoring our son. Thanks to Richard.
Marguerite A. from Woodinville, WA
Richard has been helping our son with an online college calculus course. Math has never been our sons favorite subjects. Clearly Richard is a highly educated individual but still has a very effective capability of has communicating the material in a method that our son can understand. In addition he has been flexible with our sons work schedule and last minute requests for study sessions. We are very fortunate that we have found Richard as a tutor. Our son never complains about tutoring anymore!
Matthew B. from Bothell, WA
He was thorough in going over the problems. He gave me confidence in my abilities. Very glad I worked with him!
Lisa M. from Kenmore, WA
My son came home from his lesson with Richard confident and with a better understanding of the material that he was working on. He had a quiz the next day and feels that he did well on it! Thanks!
Roya D. from Kirkland, WA
Richard was very knowledgeable and addressed all my daughter's problem spots very clear for her. You need more instructors like him.
Kim B. from Lynnwood, WA
Richard is great. He taught me shortcuts and made me feel more confident with my physics. I am looking forward to working with him again.
Elizabeth J. from Snohomish, WA
Great information again this lesson! You have really helped Jordan gain her confidence in pre-calc. Another awesome test result! Thank you!
Maria F. from Woodinville, WA
Richard went over AP Stats material with my son and explained the terminology to him. Something no one had ever done. This helped my son gain a better understanding of the material.
David Z. from Seattle, WA
Richard helped my twins prepare for the SAT Math test. He's got all sorts to tips to tackle tough math problems.
Chris H. from Seattle, WA
I struggled with Calculus in college because it was quite different than the AP Calculus I took in high school and Richard was able help me transition to college level Calculus with ease! Richard was very patient with me trying to understand concepts and the homework. Richard also helped me learn C++ and went out of his way to get resources for me so I could better understand what I was coding! He would call me occasionally to make sure I was understanding my projects that were regularly assigned by my professor! Overall, he is a fantastic tutor and couldn't recommend him enough.
Cecily S. from Snohomish, WA
In one hour Richard was able to give my daughter a thorough understanding of concepts that she previously had not understood. Afterwards she said she wished Richard was her math teacher. We are very pleased with our first experience today.
