Richard H
Richard is clearly a highly knowledgeable and experienced Geography teacher. After an initial consultation and first lesson, my daughter already feels confident that he will support her in strengthening the topic areas she finds more challenging, as well as improving her exam technique. The lesson was well planned, and she found Richard to be clear, concise, and engaging throughout. We will definitely be booking more lessons.
