About Ritchard
Hello, I’m Ritchard Ouma, a London-based full-time professional tutor and educational consultant with more than 20,000 hours of tutoring experience. I began tutoring while completing the International Baccalaureate at the American International School of Budapest, before moving to London to study Materials Science and Engineering with Business Management at Imperial College London. I continued tutoring throughout university and have now worked full-time in education for around ten years. I support students across GCSE, A Level and IB, with extensive experience in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Maths, Environmental Systems and Societies, Psychology, Geography, Economics and other academic subjects. I also work with students on SAT/ACT preparation and UK/US university applications. Over the years I have supported students attending leading independent, grammar and international schools, as well as students targeting highly competitive universities in the UK and US. I also have extensive experience supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia and dyscalculia, and I understand that academic ability is not always reflected immediately in a student’s grades, confidence or organisation. One of the advantages of my broad academic background is that I can support students across different stages of their education. A student may initially come to me for Chemistry or Maths, then later need help with exam preparation, SATs or university applications. I can provide continuity throughout that process. Parents and students have described me as enthusiastic, patient, engaging and inspiring, and I take great pride in building strong, long-term relationships with the families I work with. I am also a father of four, so I understand the importance of patience, encouragement and clear communication with both students and parents. I look forward to hearing from you!

With proper guidance, there are no good or bad students. My lessons are built around understanding why a student is struggling and identifying what will make the biggest difference. Sometimes the issue is a gap in core knowledge. Sometimes the student understands the subject but is losing marks through exam technique, timing, organisation or confidence. In other cases, motivation and engagement have become the main barrier. I place a strong emphasis on exam technique. I teach students how to recognise what a question is really asking, understand where marks are awarded, structure answers effectively and develop methods they can rely on under pressure. My aim is not simply to cover content, but to help students turn what they know into results. Confidence is equally important. I have worked with many capable students who have begun to believe that they are simply “bad” at a subject. I try to challenge that mindset through clear explanations, achievable progress and genuine encouragement. Students often perform very differently once they begin to trust their own ability again. I also have extensive experience supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia and dyscalculia. I adapt sessions through clear structure, manageable steps, varied pacing, repetition where useful and alternative explanations when a conventional approach is not working. Lessons are highly individual and interactive. I take time to understand each student’s interests, personality and experience of school so that sessions remain engaging while still being focused and purposeful. Parents and students have described me as enthusiastic, patient, passionate and inspiring. My role is to provide expert academic guidance, strong encouragement and the structure students need to keep progressing. Ultimately, I want students to leave lessons feeling more capable, more confident and better equipped to succeed independently.

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
