Richard: Tacoma tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a recent graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy and am currently an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, where I am studying Economics. Since High School, I have been tutoring through school organizations like Peer Tutoring, where I became the head in my senior year, and also tutoring around public schools in Stamford, Connecticut, near where I live. I have also created a summer camp at Domus Stamford, where I taught Chemistry and Martial arts for two weeks to middle school and elementary school students. I have also coached my school's Chemistry Olympiad team, so I am comfortable with competition Chemistry as well. I have over three hundred hours of tutoring and teaching experience in subjects like Math, Chemistry, and English. Tutoring STEM subjects is always fun for my students and me, because it is always interesting to see the connections and logic behind concepts. I am a firm believer that education is not only a valuable, important resource for everyone, but that it should also be given in a way suitable for everyone. As such, I learn from the habits of my students and personalize my teachign style in a way that would best help them learn more. In my spare time, I like reading, walking my dog, and cooking.
