I enjoy working with students who want to learn. I am a retired California public high school math and science teacher. I have a single subject California teaching credential in math, physics, chemistry, geoscience (earth science), and biological sciences (biology).

I taught algebra as a high school math teacher, as well as nanotechnology along with chemistry in my high school science classes. Recently I was an adjunct college professor teaching algebra-based physics and labs at a priva...

My son really connected well with Richard. Richard knows the subject matter and is able to convey concepts and principles of Geometry to lay the necessary foundation. Will definitely use him again.

The best tutor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He was very kind and patient when we worked together. It is clear that he wants you to succeed. He spends as much time as you need on your problems or topics. He utilizes a ton of resources from textbooks to notes he created to aid in you learning whatever subject you are working on. He wants to make sure you not only know the information but also thoroughly understand it. I also appreciated how he related a lot of the information and to real world examples and problems. Ultimately he is a kind funny man with a wealth of knowledge. If I ever need a tutor again I will know who to search for first.

He is a good and patient tutor. The way he explained everything to me was a big help. I would highly recommend him 100%. He took his time to go through a review of multiple choice homework questions and went through each one in a detailed manner.

Richard's first tutoring class was excellent and very productive. My son has many struggles to understand physics and was very scared about that. After this lesson he is more confident and understanding better. Richard is a tutor with a lot of knowledge, and his way of teaching are very successful for my son. I recommend him ??. Thank you Richard!!!

My daughter needed to begin with basics before she was able to begin understanding her current chemistry unit, and Richard was AMAZING at identifying that need and giving her a foundation. I am so excited to see the knowledge they build together in the coming weeks!
- Riley L. from Chatsworth, CA
I have not practiced or worked basic geometry in 10 years but Richard was thorough and patient in helping me understand concepts and formulas. Great teaching style and easy to get along with.

Richard helped my daughter review the basic vocabulary of geometry, a few concepts and he helped her prepare for her exam. She ended up getting an 85! We will definitely use Richard?s Assistance in the future!

I cannot begin to explain what a wonderful tutor Mr. Moore is. He has spent the last 2-3 weeks helping me prepare for a science exam. Having failed the exam twice before, I can now say I have passed! Mr. Moore raised my score over 30 points. He is a great person overall, hilarious, caring and very knowledgeable. I can definitely say that I've learned more about science within these 2-3 weeks than I have ever before. He made the information so easy to understand and follow. If I ever need help in the future, I know Mr. Moore will be able to help me 100%. Trust me when I say that he is an amazing tutor! Thank you so much, Mr. Moore.

In only an hour, we covered at least 5 different types of problems and worked through them together on the shared whiteboard. I learned different ways to work through each of the problems. He is very helpful. I am looking forward to the next session.

After our first session with Richard, he called to let my son know that he had misinformed him on a concept in Geometry and wanted to come back for a second session to clear it up. After their 2nd session, my son understood these concepts better than ever.
- Michelle K. from Westlake Village, CA
My grandson has difficulty staying focused. Richard suggested several strategies to improve my grandson's memorization and comprehension. He was soft spoken and my grandson felt they were a good fit.

Richard is tutoring my son in 10th grade biology. We?ve already scheduled a second tutoring session for the same week because Richard Is practical and realistic with the limitations my son has as a result of learning disabilities - ADHD, depression and anxiety.
- Linda B. from Los Angeles, CA
Richard knows physics and math incredibly well! after our tutoring session, he called me a few hours later to tell me an error he found with a problem i did. i would definitely recommend! great guy and very friendly!
- Christopher S. from Simi Valley, CA
Richard is very knowledgeable and thorough. We are really drilling down on the trigonometry principals which will help me with college Calculus. Looking forward to what is next
- Karl K. from Simi Valley, CA
Richard appears to be very organized and displays a lot of patience with our son who can be easily distracted and go off task. He is helping with both Math and Chemistry. Very satisfied with his tutoring ability. Look forward to working with him, for the rest of school year !
- Babitha R. from Simi Valley, CA
Thank you my daughter is starting to understand. You explain concepts well, are patient and very knowledgeable. With you help I think she will understand Physics
- Cindy S. from Simi Valley, CA
Richard has been tutoring my son, 10th grader, for about three months now. Richard comes prepared, brings teaching materials with him and shows up in time. He teaches by showing examples and asking questions to my son. This helps my son a lot to get handle on concepts, understand theories and find a way to solve problems. In addition to focusing on lessons taught in school, Richard teaches overall subject, and as well goes beyond what is required for grade level. Most important, my son is more comfortable with Chemistry lessons now and his scores have started improving. I strongly recommend Richard as a Chemistry tutor, and keep up the good work Richard!!
