Knowledgeable, patient, and understating.

I recently had the pleasure of workig with Alrick on a paper for my English 101 class. He is extremely nice, patient and very informative. He even followed up with me and offered to help some more. I looked forward to working with him again!

Zaira, 7 lessons with Alrick

Very helpful

I learnt a lot from his feedback. He gave very specific insight that I didn't even think of including in my answers. He answered me back very quickly when I asked him on Wyzant which rarely happens.

Alexandre, 7 lessons with Alrick

Takes care of tutoring, and more

Alrick didn’t just tutor my son, which definitely he did. He also provided guidance for us regarding how to handle a complicated issue with a slow to respond instructor. Alrick is truly holistic when it comes to tutoring. Thank you Alrick!

Kenneth, 8 lessons with Alrick

Excellent skills, very good at what he does

Was able to help me vastly improve my essay, helped shorten lengthy and wordy text, was able to clarify points that I didn't explain well. Super friendly and helpful, was very responsive when questions were asked.

Alexander, 4 lessons with Alrick

Excellent instructor!

Alrick was working with my son in preparation for his midterm Spanish 102. His explanations were clear and to the point. Alrick approaches the study material in a manner that is well organized and methodical, and my son was very pleased with his instruction style. He’s planning to continue his classes with Alrick to improve his Spanish. We strongly recommend Alrick to Spanish students of different levels.

Svetlana, 9 lessons with Alrick

Very helpful tutor!

We are more than happy with the tutoring service provided by Alrick. My Freshman son really enjoys working with Alrick. He is very communicative, understanding, kind, and knowledgable. He knows how to keep my son engaged, and is exactly what we needed! We highly recommend Adam for your tutoring needs. Thank you, Adam!

Marissa, 2 lessons with Alrick

Extremely knowledgable and extremely patient.

Alrick brought me insight on how to make things clearer and stay on a linear path with my story. He brought up idea that I never even realized and really helped me see the writing structure. Amazing teacher and tutor.

Parker, 1 lesson with Alrick

Fantastic tutor/ knowledgable and friendly

Alrick is always prepared and ready to challenge me with every lesson we have. Since we first started working together, my comprehension of Spanish has gone to a new level. Sentence structure, pronunciation, past/present/future verbs and much more are things he has helped me understand. I would recommend him to anybody looking to improve their Spanish.

Cesar, 47 lessons with Alrick

Text comprehension and reading

In the time working with Alrick, and I have learned and improved my reading and comprehension of texts, he is a person very focused on his work, he is always striving so that I understand everything we study, he also makes a study plan focused on my weaknesses which has helped me a lot to improve my skills.

Carlos , 10 lessons with Alrick

Alrick

Rick helped me get more comfortable with Reading and Writing SATs by helping me go over a practice SAT test that he gave me. Although we did not go over all the questions, he helped me understand the questions that I had the hardest times with.
