Richard has really engaged with my son and is helping him navigate exam technique, which is his weakness. He is a genuinely nice chap and seems to really know his stuff and understand how best to get it across to a 16 year old (not an easy feat at the best of times).
From Geoff
Richard has made a huge impact by improving our daughter’s confidence in biology. Her motivation has improved and his calm and encouraging approach have made a real difference. I would not hesitate to recommend Richard’s support.
From Jo
My son very much enjoys his A level study sessions with Richard. Apart from being a brilliant teacher, finding different ways to help my son with any difficulties, he seems a genuinely nice person. Would definitely recommend him.
From Sophie
Richard is a really friendly and affable gentleman. My son had one session with him but just didn't quite get what he needed in terms of exam confidence - I think it is very hard to know whether a tutor will be able to deliver what is needed without trying a session with them and unfortunately I don't think Richard can give what Joe needs? I think if we had more time (exams are in 2 months) then Richard would be a great tutor but for now we need someone more dynamic. Apologies to Richard as he seemed like a nice man with a lot of passion for his subject.
I wish Joe all the best for his upcoming exams and it is a shame he feels I can not offer what he needs. I did spend about 10 minutes discussing with Joe his learning preferences and areas he would like to focus on in the run up to his exams. Using this information I created a timetable of activities and content to last up to his exams, with two hours of dedicated exam techniques.
I hope that Joe finds a tutor to help him achieve his potential.
From Claire
Richard is a real inspiration and his passion for Biology is infectious. Richard has a fantastic teaching style and has really helped my daughter improve her grades in a very short space of time. He is calm, patient and thorough. He also tests learning at the end of every session to ensure understanding.
From Conor
Genuinely inspirational guy and excellent tutor – my son has already seen improvements in his A2 Biology grades. Highly recommend.
