Richard
Science tutor with a specialty of biology and fun
Good day to you. My name is Richard and I have been tutoring in the Nashville area for over eight years. I received my BA in Biology from Drew University and went on to obtain my PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Pennsylvania. Throughout my career I have been involved in educating my fellows both formally in tutoring and classroom situations and informally during on the job training.

MCAT
I am currently certified to tutor in all the subjects that the MCAT focuses on, specifically biology, chemistry, mathematics and writing. Moreover, I have taken the MCAT myself and scored a 39 so I have firsthand knowledge of the skills needed to do well on the test.
microbiology
organic chemistry
During my undergraduate education I added a biochemistry minor to my biology major and this included several semesters of organic chemistry. During my graduate studies, part of my work involved structure function analysis of molecules of organic molecules which kept me up to date in this field.

My grand-daughter was struggling in Chemistry and Algebra 2 for a semester. Her second semester was spent with Richard and both grades moved up to B's. Wished we had started sooner. Her senior year we are starting Richard in the beginning with Calculus and ACT prep.

Mr Richard D was an excellent Tutor. I wish he continues to help my son in the next school year coming up.

Richard knows his subjects very well. He is kind, patient and jovial. Last year our daughter got an A in Algebra 2 thanks in large part to Richards tutoring! This year he is helping our daughter with geometry, chemistry and act prep. He definitely has our trust in this very important area! Thanks Richard!!!

He seems to really know the subjects and helps to make them interesting, with lots of fun and unusual information.
Julie L. from Hermitage, TN
Rich tutored our son in Algebra 2. It is no small feat that he helped him understand graphing within an hour. Rich is accommodating and easy to work with.
Sheryl H. from Nashville, TN
Rich tutored our daughter in AP Biology. He was well prepared and really helped break down the material in the text book so that she could understand it more clearly. We also appreciate how quickly he responded to our need. Thanks!
Elissa C. from Mount Juliet, TN
Richard is very patient and has a calm voice that my son really responds to. He takes the time to explain a concept and/or an idea in a variety of ways to ensure my son understands. He is also very punctual, thank you Richard.
