I loved working with Teacher Richard and achieved a grade 8. He identifies your goals, needs, strengths, and weaknesses and works on them throughout the lessons.
In my opinion Richard is a very good teacher. His help was crucial for me to get a higher score. I really enjoyed the lessons and achieved the score I wanted ( grade 7).
Richard has a great way of explaining 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!
Richard is an amazingly intelligent teacher. I had to score individually high band scores in Academic IELTS. I worked with him for about 3 months and achieved my desired score. Richard is excellent at both identifying his students' learning needs and sharing resources to enhance their learnings. R
He helped me prepare for my IELTS test and I managed to get a band score of 8. A friendly teacher who delivers enjoyable lessons. Thanks Rich!
Richard has a lot of experience in English fluency tests and is currently helping me prepare for the OET (Occupational English Test). Thanks to Richard, my English is improving every day and in addition, I made a new friend.
I did a one week course with Richard to help me prepare for the IELTS and he was a great teacher. Although it was short, the course was very informative and Richard provided me with many resources that help me study topics I had difficulty with and support to get me through the test.
I really enjoy our lessons and most importantly I see how my skills are improving. Rich always tends to find something interesting for me and tailors the program, so it suits my requests.
I found the classes really helpful and I did follow most of the information and links that were on the website. Now I have passed IELTS I plan to move to Canada.
Richard is an excellent teacher and an amazing conversationalist. He knew exactly which areas I should focus on to get the score I needed. He ensured that I was prepared for all aspects of the exam. I would not have got the necessary score in TOEFL without Richard's help.
Richard is an excellent teacher. I had no idea how to prepare the TOEFL test and he helped me a lot, he patiently corrected all my mistakes in the writing part and he explained me the best ways to get through the other parts.
Your lessons were very special for me because after them I always used to have a lot of energy to do more!)
Thank you for the preparation for ielts! I’m happy that I passed with the necessary score! I’ve had many tutors before you, but you’re the best one!! I also want to add, that your structure for both writing and speaking parts was very useful for me, I remember it even now!)
Richard is an amazing teacher! I had roughly one and a half months to prepare for the TOEFL iBT exam and Richard helped me a ton with every section. I greatly improved my overall skills and I was able to pass the test with a high score fairly easily. Apart from the educational aspect, Richard is also a great person to have casual conversations with. I highly recommend taking some classes with him.
I got much help from Rich when I was preparing my test. Against all odds, I got quite a satisfying result in my toefl. Although I took the lessons targeting at toefl, which I had thought to be exam skills-oriented, I was able to learn grammar, accents, and some UK culture. Anyway, he is a friendly and humorous person. You won't be bored if you join his lesson. Thank you Rich :)
I’ve recently had around a year of lessons with Richard. Those lessons were taken in order to improve my skills to seat the IELTS exam, which I successfully took only once and achieved my goal score! I am pleased to have found him. I achieved a 7.5 overall.
I was fortunate to work with Richard. He helped me a lot to pass the Toefl test. I appreciate his help, which was also beyond the lessons. I sincerely recommend Richard to other students :)
Before my IELTS exam, I wasn’t pretty sure about my speaking part. So, I took 5 lessons for IELTS with Richard. Richard was a kind and helpful teacher. He gave me some great tips and pieces of advice about the IELTS exam. Also, we practiced the speaking part several times. After that, I was much more confident about my exam and achieved 6.0 for the speaking part as I hoped. Sergei Tulupov
I have been learning English with Richard since summer and I feel I have made 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 speaking in English and I have completely forgotten about this feeling.
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 he is very friendly and fun.
Great tutor in every aspect. Has a very unique approach towards each student. Lessons are always fun, interactive, and informative. My IELTS requirement was 7.0, yet thanks to Richard I managed to get 8.0. I will definitely 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 needed. Thanks to Richard!
Overall, I got a 7.5. Richard is an exceptional teacher, he is very competent, patient and supporting. He respects individual pace and needs.
Richard helped me with IELTS classes. Although I did not have much time, his help was essential for me to achieve my grade 7.
Richard's guidance was essential to help me achieve my professional goal. I had only five weeks to take the TOEFL test and my score needed to be 100 or more to be admitted in an LLM (Master of Laws) program at the University of Houston, in the USA. I achieved my score and I now study in the USA.
Richard is an excellent English teacher. He is a pleasant person in communication and teaching
I needed a teacher to help me study for the IELTS speaking test and Richard's lessons were the main reason I was able to score 8.5 out of 9.
Richard is a great teacher, has a great methodology and excellent materials. I took IELTS and General English classes with him. Highly recommend.
I believe that Richard’s classes really helped me a lot not only in terms of the TOEFL exam but also towards my English ability in practice.
Richard is an excellent teacher and has greatly helped me in this year of many changes, for me mainly in relation to my self-confidence with English. Thank you very much for the classes and I recommend you to all.
Richard helped me prepare for the IELTS LIFE SKILLS exam, and I passed my first attempt. He teaches in a very didactic, objective, and uncomplicated way.
