Very excellent tutor, he has helped my son a lot with his English language. I would recommend Mr Richard to anyone who needs a tutor for English.

I travel to the tutor but it is worth the effort. My daughter is in year 11 now and has been struggling with English literature. She has only had a few lessons and is already feeling more confident than before. Richard focusses on weaker areas and exam techniques, which is very useful.

My son had his first lesson with Richard at the weekend. He is brilliant and seems to know what he is doing. A very pleasant tutor who I think will immensely help my son.
