About Richard
I have been a passionate reader and writer all my life. I am a published writer, I have edited online magazines for twenty years, and for three years I managed the Adult Literacy Program at the Echo Park branch of the Los Angeles Public Library. I specialize in working with adults on all levels of reading, writing, and interpretation, especially more advanced work. My philosophy is that each student deserves individualized attention based on their needs, skills, and personality. You will not be given canned lesson plans, though you will have to work.
If you need references, I have them. If you want to read some of my writing and literary criticism, please go to (concealed information)

I interview the student to learn what they seek from tutoring and to assess their speaking skills and get a feeling fo rtheir personality. It is important to determine what they need as well as what they want; these are not always the same. This interview will take up most of the first session. Then I will give homework. After reviewing the homework, I can usually devise a plan of action that will help the studnet reach their goal.
All types: men and women from Iran, China, and Central America, as well as native-born US residents. I work only with grown-ups.
Don't be too desperate; meet with them first, even if it may cost money, and make sure you are comfortable with their personality. Try to figure out whether they will try to jam you into a one-size-fits-all lesson plan, or whether they will treat you as an individual.
Beginning to teach one of my volunteer tutors from the program I manage. She is a Chinese national who speaks English very well but wished to improve her writing. We have been making great progress; her first assignment, an essay on a song by Jackson Browne and its commentary on US working-class culture, is in its fifth draft and is probably a marketable piece of writing.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What do they really want to achieve? Are they really willing and able to do homework, to sit down and write even when they don't have much free time? List your immediate and long-term goals before your first meeting; this will help the tutor determine what they can do for you.

Rick is the best tutor anyone could ask for. He is well-versed in almost everything I asked him about: literature, politics, religion, English, Spanish, French, Italian...I feel grateful that he's my tutor. He is extremely knowledgeable, encouraging, and thoughtful. I leave every tutoring session feeling more motivated to learn!
