Not only is Richard Hornby an extremely nice chap, he is also an excellent tutor.
Richard was able to adjust his teaching style to suite our daughters preferences. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about his subject and more than willing to go the extra mile to ensure my daughter understood everything. My daughter felt he understood his job was to really ‘teach’ the subject and make sure she understood, rather than to simply spend a hour session with her.
Over the years we have had a many tutors, Richard is definitely one of the very best out there. We would recommend him 100%.

Richard has been a patient, reliable and supportive tutor in maths and physics. He is committed to the success of his pupils and recommends resources and homework to maximise success. Richard has consistently found ways to engage that have been relevant to school work, school homework, lack of understanding as well as moving the learning forward. He brings theory to life with everyday examples. He adapted his approach during Covid so that tutoring could continue and goes out of his way to meet customer needs with diary commitments, flexibility and support.

I just wanted to get in touch as college is almost over for me […]. I also wanted to just say thank you, for everything. I haven’t had the easiest time in education, I have struggled with feelings of not belonging and just not fitting in, but it was the complete opposite with you. To have the opportunity to learn from someone who I identify with, and have great respect for, has been an absolute pleasure. I would even go as far as to say it has been the most positive learning experience of my life and I can’t thank you enough for it.

I had tutoring sessions with Richard for just over 5 years. When I started with him, I was in set 3 maths and within a few months, I had been moved up to set 1. For GCSE and A level, Richard taught my Maths and Physics which I achieved 9’s and A*’s in. I could not have achieved these results without him. He knew how to break complex topics down into smaller, easier to understand blocks. I highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for tutoring services.

Richard has a wide knowledge of maths and the sciences. He was always punctual and efficient. The lessons were tailored to my daughters needs and he made sure that she understood the methods before moving on. His teaching made a huge difference to her grade in just a few months.
I would definitely recommend Richard.

Richard provided an excellent tutoring service to my daughter during the run up to A Level exams. He had a calm manner and explained his subject well. Emma worked well under his guidance and as a result of their combined hard work, she achieved an A in her exam. I would recommend Richard as a tutor.
