Anne M. from San Francisco, CA After several lessons, we have found Richard to be the consummate professional ? always communicative, organized and punctual. He is respectful and kind to both parent and student and has developed good rapport with our child. He is teaching classic grammar, vocabulary and writing technique to our 8th grader and doing a wonderful job of explaining topics and giving concrete examples.

Liz C. from Burlingame, CA We are very fortunate to have found Richard. My son is applying for a scholarship and needed help for SAT study and essay writing. Richard worked patiently and diligently with him to prep for the SATs. He made it fun and interesting, especially when helping increase my son?s vocabulary. My son ended up improving his score by over 100 points! When it comes to help with essays, Richard is really good about letting my son take the lead and do the actual writing but he helps him if he is stuck and gives great suggestions along the way. My son really enjoys working with Richard and I highly recommend him.

Richard is like having a college professor visit your home. He is above all kind and concerned about the student. I would highly recommend him anytime.

Lucia O. from Menlo Park, CA Richard conveys great enthusiasm about the topics he teaches, whether it is Norse mythology, German grammar, or history. He has passed on a love of knowledge and an ear for language to my son, who is in 7th grade. Richard also displays a true historian's sense of a particular time period-- he is able to invoke curiosity about what it was like to live in that time period, and how things were both similar to and different from the present.

Thank you, Richard.
