About Richard
I assess a student’s needs, usually beginning with a reading test. By asking questions, I see what skills need work and the order in which I would like to teach them. I look at a student’s strengths, and also what motivates them. When I see a need, I address it, and I don’t deviate from the skill practice until I see progress. Once a student is ready for a complementary skill, we move on. Further, I teach skills to each student's level: advanced reading comprehension, reading fluency, note-taking, math, time management. All of this goes for SAT/ACT prep, beginning with the content for the test. I have twenty+ years of experience tutoring students in grades 3-9. I taught at Fuentes Charter School in Chicago, a pioneer in education for ESOL students; the lessons I learned there, especially in teaching study skills, are among the best I’ve learned as a teacher anywhere. Study skills are useful to all students, gifted and talented alike! I have also taught at Charleston Development Academy which is one of only a small few of middle schools that have earned an Excellent rating on their state report card.

Effective tutoring can produce dramatic results: a happier, more confident student who takes pleasure in learning. I’m a teacher and study skills coach; I know what works, and I can figure out what your student needs. If it’s complicated or there are many needs, I’ll tell you so. The job of a tutor is to help a student fine-tune their ability to learn; that is, to help learn how they learn best. This tutoring emphasizes work on basic skills such as essay writing, test-taking, planning, argumentation, and daily and weekly organization. I have found that these skills benefit every student, even the strongest.
