About Richard
I’m a current Harvard student who earned a 1550 SAT score and 118 TOEFL score—milestones that came from trial, error, and the same targeted strategies I now teach my students. During high school, I guided over 50 learners to boost their SAT English scores and general English proficiency, and I’ve since refined my approach to focus on the exact pain points that hold most students back. I don’t just teach rules or drills; I share the insider tips that helped me excel, paired with personalized support that meets you where you are. Whether you’re stuck on SAT reading passages or struggling to feel confident in everyday English, I bring empathy, expertise, and a proven track record to every session.

# About your lessons
Specializing in **SAT English** and general English mastery, I turn your biggest pain points—whether it’s SAT reading inference traps, writing thesis weaknesses, or general English grammar confusion—into your strongest skills. I start every student with a targeted assessment to map gaps, then build personalized lesson plans: SAT sessions blend 20 mins of high-yield strategy drills (the same ones that got me a 1550 SAT), 20 mins of timed practice, and 10 mins of detailed error analysis to avoid repeat mistakes. For general English learners, we focus on practical, confidence-building exercises—from conversational fluency for daily use to academic writing for school or work—no rote memorization, just actionable steps. What sets me apart is my track record of lifting 50+ students’ SAT English scores and English proficiency, paired with the empathy of a tutor who’s been in your shoes. My lessons cater to middle/high schoolers prepping for SAT success and anyone (adults included) aiming to sharpen their general English skills for school, work, or daily life.

Richard was my high school friend. He tutored me for SAT English when I was stuck at a 500, completely stuck on reading inference questions and grammar rule loopholes.
We did 2 hours of weekly sessions for 2 months, and by the end, my SAT English score jumped from 500 to 770, which was a game-changer for my college apps! What makes him stand out is that he’s patient when you mess up, adjusts his pace to your needs, and never makes you feel dumb for asking the same question twice. He’s trustworthy, reliable, and actually gets what high schoolers struggle with because he’s been there too.I first connected with Richard on Superprof when I was stuck at a TOEFL score of 85 for 6 months despite endless practice tests and generic tutoring. From our first session, Richard’s approach stood out: he didn’t just hand me practice drills but ran a targeted diagnostic to pinpoint my biggest pain points—struggling with TOEFL listening inference questions and speaking response structure.
What I loved most about Richard’s teaching style is that he’s equal parts expert and mentor. He tailored every lesson to my pace: we’d spend 30 mins drilling my weak spots, then do timed practice with real TOEFL questions, followed by detailed feedback that explained exactly why I lost points and how to fix it.
The results spoke for themselves: after just 4 weeks of weekly 1-hour sessions, my TOEFL score jumped from 85 to 108—a 23-point increase that let me meet the English proficiency requirements for my dream university. Beyond test scores, Richard also helped me build confidence in everyday English; I now feel comfortable participating in class discussions and writing academic essays without second-guessing my grammar.
Richard is incredibly trustworthy and dedicated. He always showed up prepared, tracked my progress week by week, and adjusted our lesson plan whenever he noticed I needed extra support. He never made me feel rushed or discouraged when I struggled, and his passion for helping students succeed is obvious in every session.
I can’t recommend Richard enough to anyone prepping for TOEFL or looking to improve their ESL skills. He doesn’t just teach you English; he gives you the tools to master it, and his proven track record speaks for itself.See more recommendations
