About Richard

- After an interesting 20+ years in business, conducted around the world, in different positions and within a variety of industries - I have thoroughly enjoyed the last 5 years of teaching English as a foreign language to a mixture of students using a variety of resources and my own acuity.

- The fantastic feedback I get from my students let's me know that I am helping them to progress with their goals.

- My biggest character trait is my positivity and my strongest skill is in effectively questioning people and situations, building rapport to get to the core of something, analyzing, then planning and implementing deliverable and measurable results.
