We have never hired a tutor before and WyzAnt has made it very easy. We were lucky to find Richard. Our initial evaluation meeting went very smooth. After speaking with Richard, we had no concerns about his ability to get our son caught up and on the right track to start his high school career. Richard comes to each session well prepared and works with our son not only on pre-algebra but also on his study habits and being organized. Richard has been flexible with scheduling tutoring sessions and has open communication after each session with us, so we know how our son is progressing. I feel confident that my son will be on level with his algebra and will be more confident in his self as he starts his freshman year of high school. We feel very fortunate to have Richard as a tutor and would recommend him to others.

Richard has been tutoring my 2 sons since last summer. I was very lucky to have picked him because he is the perfect tutor I was looking for. He is very knowledgable in math and English, the 2 subjects my children needed help with. And he has a very good way of teaching. He lets me know what exactly he covered for every single lesson and also what my children are struggling in. My children grades have improved since he started tutoring them. He is very patient and a very pleasant person to work with. He is a very a good communicator.
