About Ritchard
With proper guidance, there are no good or bad students.
My tutees receive genuine encouragement, and guidance
which allows them to build the confidence to succeed.
About me
Hello my name is Ritchard Ouma and my main speciality and reason for being a successful tutor is in helping students to achieve high grades in upcoming exams. In the past, I have tutored a number of students before their important GCSE, A level, IB exams and their parents and guardians contacting me to help boost their results. I start by getting to know the student, reason for their performance and organise a revision plan for the coming weeks or days. In my experience a majority of students require guidance in exam technique and an in depth look at core concepts. I have also found that students in competitive environment under pressure can end up feeling demoralised and loss faith in their own ability. However, I believe with the right kind of encouragement and teaching, students show remarkable progress and go on to achieve A*s, As.***, or 7s.
My Experience
I have been tutoring for over 5 years and have experience of teaching in both classrooms and on one-to-one basis. I have taught a variety of subjects to a variety of age groups, clocking up 1000+ hours of tuition I've also acted as a mentor to students who have successfully applied to top independent schools and Russell Group universities, including Imperial College London. I am currently a top tutor for a prestigious London tutoring company (Bright Young Things). I have experience of teaching students attending a variety of schools from prestigious private schools Beneden School, to grammar schools, Bexleyheath grammar school. These experiences have allowed me to identify where students require help and which learning style to adopt. I am extremely organised and plan each lesson meticulously. I have an excellent track record of helping students achieving high grades in a very short amount of time. I have worked with a number of elite clients, with a very positive response.
My approach
One of the main reasons for my excellent track record is that I pay close attention to my clients and provide excellent guidance. Through high level lesson plans, offer flexibility and a good understanding of my students, I help students achieve their potential. As a tutor, it is my role not just to teach but also provide students with emotional support and guidance, which in turn is seen through an improvement in their learning. My focus is always on each individual’s needs and in this way I have helped numerous students make sense of subjects that were previously a mystery to them. Both parents and pupils alike have described me as ‘enthusiastic, ‘passionate’ and ‘inspiring’ – a reflection of the energy and professionalism I endeavour to bring to all of my sessions.
Tutoring experience
I started tutoring while at high school in Budapest, Hungary. I have lived all over the world in exotic countries like Kenya, Pakistan, Hungary, and Switzerland but I had the good fortune to attend a private international school in Budapest, Hungary where I first began tutoring. While studying towards 7s in my International Baccalaureate (IB) courses, I began by tutoring my younger classmates. After moving to London to study as an engineer at Imperial College London, one of the top ten universities in the world, I began sharing my hard-won expertise in exam technique through part-time tutoring. Teaching children has become my passion and I am now a full-time professional tutor.
I started working with a number of high profile clients after getting good reviews and recommendations as well as through working with elite tutoring companies such as Bright Young Things. I regularly teach students attending London’s top private schools, with excellent results.
I am a full-time professional tutor with an excellent track record helping students to achieve their academic aims.
I hope this short self-exposition has demonstrated to you that I am qualified and eager to help your child to succeed in the education and life.
Thank you for your consideration I hope to hear from you soon.

With proper guidance, there are no good or bad students. My tutees receive genuine encouragement, and guidance which allows them to build the confidence to succeed. Nonetheless, the increase competition for good schools and universities as well as the often negative environment within those institutions means that it is easier now than ever for capable students to lose their way with a negative impact on their agency. It is challenging to help students to remain engaged in subjects when school, or university is telling you: "You can't do it". Over my career it is this issue that I believe is the biggest challenge to my practice and one I believe can only be solved by tremendous support, expert guidance, and resolute belief that students and learners can improve whatever the subject. Often being the best (and sometimes only true) judge of student's academic ability, it is my job to ensure that you are pushing your capabilities no matter what.
I am a full time tutor who graduated from Imperial College London studying Materials Science and Engineering. I have over 10,000+ hours of tutoring experience. I am enthusiastic, motivated, and patient with all my tutees. I tutor math and science from 11+,13+, GCSE level all the way to Alevel subjects.

Ritchard is a highly committed tutor. He is engaging, patient and interested in what his students think, helping to integrate the learning in a way that is meaningful for them. He helped my daughter immensely with her assessed A level coursework and I highly recommend him.
Ritchard has been tutoring my 10 year old in Maths in English in preparation for his Common Pre-Tests. My son took to Ritchard quickly and found him engaging and friendly. This was not the case with some other tutors. I would highly recommend Ritchard.
Great tuition
I reached out Richard for help with my IA and Extended Essay. I found it very useful.
My son has benefitted greatly from Ritchard’s tutoring. I am be happy to recommend him to others.
Before Ritchard I thought I was doomed for the IB exams - desperate with a low self esteem for physics I reached out for his help. It’s now with great confidence that I look forward to smashing the exams, thanks Ritchard!
We would like to thank this site for the very comfortable application to help us find a right tutor for our daughter in Physics. Ritchard helped her to get on the right track and do well in her last year IB diploma. We would highly recommend him. Knowledge of the subject of course is excellent and it’s very important, but also the tutorial skills are most important to engage the child to learn, Ritchard has both on high standard and he is the right one to help your child to get to the top! You will see your child’s progress immediately after two sessions.
P.S. the video helped us to choose the right tutor as you get a feeling of how the tutor expresses himself.My son says that Ritchard understands the subject matter really well and also explains it well. It is great to have peace of mind that he will accompany my son on his road to resit his Core Maths, which I am unable to do myself, to hopefully widen his university choices next year with a better grade - and also start his studies in Computer Science with greater confidence in his maths skills, which are relevant to that degree.
Pleasure to write a reference for Ritchard who has been assisting my son with GCSEs Science . I have spoken with my son who tells me Ritchard proved to be a superior tutor finding ways to explain complex and sometimes challenging topics. He has excellent communication skills and was quick to establish a very good rapport. We will certainly be using his services in future aswell .Regards.
Ritchard has been teaching my 14 year old daughter for a few weeks now - it is the only lesson she has where she doesn't moan about having to attend! she enjoys the fact it is by Skype and Ritchard is really focussed on what she explains she is learning about and finds difficult. She tells me that he explains things in a more straightforward way and makes it more interesting that her school teachers!
Ritchard has been a fantastic tutor for my A-level maths qualification. He has been helping me understand topics in a clear and concise manner as he explains areas in depth and gives me great ways to improve my problem solving. There is a clear structure to all his lessons, which has helped us optimise the use of time in all our sessions.
Very well prepared, thorough and provided detailed explanations
Ritchard has been a great tutor for my son who was struggling with his A level maths and falling behind. Ritchard is very good at explaining and demonstrating Maths in a way that makes sense whilst remaining patient. My son started to make progress after a very short time and has found Ritchard very much worth having.
Ritchard tutored my daughter in English Literature and Philosophy A level.
Ritchard from the first lesson very easily put my daughter at ease and was quickly able to understand where the gaps were in my daughters knowledge of both subjects and where he needed to focus his attention on building her confidence of the subject matter.
Ritchard's love and passion for teaching shines through in his approach to tutoring. This instilled a higher level of motivation in my daughter to learn the subject and apply the learning in her school work.
I would have no hesitation in contacting Ritchard again for tutoring support if the need arises.
In summary, Ritchard has a refreshing approach to tutoring, he engaged very well with my daughter, has a genuine love for the subject matter and this stimulated my daughters interest in the subject which motivated her to do well.I contacted Ritchard to take on the task of tutoring my son who is lacking motivation and has seen his predicted B in Economics (A-level) fall to below a D. Ritchard has been tutoring my son for four weeks now and so far has proved to be very punctual, professional, and enthusiastic. I intend to continue to book Ritchard in future.
Richard is such an excellent tutor, he explains the subject in such a splendid way he makes the subject enjoyable. I will recommend him on a very high level. He is the best tutor l have ever had.
Kind regards
Beverley RichardsonI would highly recommend Richard. He is extremely knowledgeable on the IB and the IB criteria. He has guided my daughter through her Internal Assessment with allot of heart, amazing knowledge and was there at any time she needed him even though he has his own busy schedule he put her forward in order for her to achieve excellence to get into some top universities in the uk. We cannot thank him enough for in a short time to achieve the best possible. We now await her final grade and we know she will do well. Thank you for hard work Ritchard and your passion for Biology and for the student to achieve the best possible. I must note we tried a couple of other tutors and they knowledge was not quite there.
Ritchard has been tutoring my 16 year old son in Economics for the past few weeks and has worked well with him towards a (hopefully) successful outcome. They have hit the ground running and built a useful teaching relationship.
Richard continually impressed us week after week. the children love his teaching method as they are learning new areas of science and engineering prinicpals in a fun way
Richard made a great impression and was extremely patient with my daughter's first lesson.We are looking forward to working with Richard
We booked Richard to help with a revision week we were running for our young people at church. He was great at tutoring in a range of science subjects and levels, from year 9 up to AS Chemistry and Biology. It was a massive help having Richard being able to swap between subjects and levels so easily and each of the young people all benefitted from his tutoring.
Richard has been tutoring my daughter in English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I find him a well competent and reliable tutor. I first chose Richard because he is at university studying, so his brain is still fresh. My daughter has learnt a lot from Richard and I am truly grateful to have him tutor my daughter and would definitely recommend him to others.
Richard and my son got on well and has great teaching techniques. Patient as well as thorough, he ensured he understood subjects well before moving on to the next.
I wish him well.View more recommendations
