Perfect! Richard is a very professional tutor. He had an excellent knowledge of what he teaches and very patient. My son enjoys working with him.
- Great student and enjoying working togetherRichard's response :
Perfect! Richard did an outstanding job helping both of my children prepare for the IELTS test. I truly appreciate how much he cares about each student’s individual development. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all course, he customizes his lessons to match the specific needs and goals of every learner. This personalized approach made a real difference — both of my children were well-prepared and achieved a score of 7.5 on their first attempt, thanks to Richard’s excellent teaching.
Perfect! great tutor engaging lessons and very helpful
- Great student, looking forward to helping him get his 7+Richard's response :
Perfect! Richard is an absolute legend.
I contacted him because I needed to get ready for my IELTS exam in only 3 weeks. My main concern was the writring part (task 1 and 2). He taught me a good method to how to write all the different type of essays for part 2, and he explained to me what was important to write in task 1. Richard has a great way of explaning things in simple terms but what made me like him the most is the fact that he was always trying to push me to the best of my abilities. Thanks Richard!- An excellent hard working student who has successfully achieved their aim. A pleasure to teach. I wish her all the best in the future.Richard's response :

Richard is a fabulous teacher. Very patient and explains everything thoroughly. Richard’s classes are fun and I look forward to them. Thank you Richard.
Richard is a great teacher, who has helped me to gain an overall band score of 7.5 in IELTS, which is an amazing result for my purposes. Thank you for all the links, information, materials, and advice. I appreciate your help and recommend your services to everyone, who wants to pass exams and level up their knowledge of the English language.
Richard was very helpful! I knew how to structure things for my test and had a confidence I could pass it after your lessons!
I am a student of Superprof Richard. He helped me prepare for the IELTS LIFE SKILS exam, and I passed my first attempt. Superprof Richard teaches in a very didactic, objective, and uncomplicated way. He suggests excellent homework that motivates me to study more and understand better, so I recommend Superprof Richard.
I would definitely recommend Richard as a tutor. Richard is a very friendly tutor and his lessons are pleasant and enjoyable. His lessons are tailored in order to focus on the student needs. One of the pillars of his teaching style is practicing the spoken language. He always finds different topics to talk about and different ways to practice the grammar. Thanks Richard for your help!
I was fortunate to work with Richard. He helped me a lot to get me passed for the Toefl test. I appreciate his help, which was also beyond the lessons.
I sincerely advice Richard to other students :).He is an excellent teacher, always makes me feel comfortable speaking English and helps me with the smallest details. We have very nice conversations and it is very friendly and fun.
Great tutor in every aspect. Has a very unique approach towards each student. Leassons are always fun, interactive and informative. My IELTS requirement was 7.0, yet thanks to Richard I managed to get 8.0. Will definetely recommend his classes to anyone who wants to prepare for IELTS or to practice speaking in general.
I've been preparing for the IELTS exam for about a year and a month ago I finally got the score that I need. Thanks to Richard!
The speaking part was the most difficult for me, because at the exam you have to answer the questions that you've never think about before. On our second lesson Richard shared with me very usefull tips and tricks how to extent answers, how to generate ideas while speaking, how to use idioms which can boost your score significantly. And it works!
To compare with my previous exam I spoke very confidently and without stops, which was unexpectedly cool for me.
He also has a treasure trove of knowledge about dealing with stress during exam, which I personally applied and which gave me a good result. So, If you want your exam went smoothly, try to study with Richard!

Richard is the " full package" teacher. He's been my tutor for a while and I hope we continue practicing together. He prepares the lessons very well and makes sure that the student learns and practices every moment.
I recommend him because there'is no way you will regret choosing him as your tutor.I think Richard is a trustworthy tutor because I had lesson with him and it was perfect. He respect your level with the english language and walk with you according your needs. Congratulations Richard!
Samuel Correia from Brazil.FANTASTIC! Richard is an excellent and amazing teacher and great person. His classes are very productive . :)
I have been learning English with Richard since summer and I feel a huge progress. First, I forgot about my language barrier. I used to get nervous when I was speaking in English. But now I am comfortable to speak in English and completly forgot about this feeling. Second, this is my grammar skills. My favorite thing is that we often discuss how British and American people use this rule in common life. The big news for me was that native speakers do mistakes :) 3rd, I increased my vocabulary and I often use new learned phrases and words in a conversation.
In the end I would like to add that Richard is friendly, supportive and at the same time always controls my learning process, notices what we need to learn or repeat and give a lot of materials for my practice.He can make a peice of information easier for the learner. Also, He is good at teaching methodically.
