Brian Richards has been teaching since the third grade. Although his teachers did not appreciate it when he would walk around the classroom after finishing his own test to try to help his peers, he has since made a career out of this talent. After growing up in Westchester County, NY, he attended Boston College and earned a degree in secondary education with a concentration in history. Since then, he has worked in various academic roles from substitute teacher to outdoor educator to tutor. For six years, he tutored and taught classroom programs at Kaplan Inc. for the PSAT, SAT, ACT, and GRE. His expertise and mastery of the material earned him a two time ranking among the top five nationwide Pre-College instructors. In 2015, he was named the highest rated teacher. More recently, Brian has taken on the role of Educational Consultant and has assisted in the implementation of reading programs in public schools and also remains devoted to supporting his own students and giving them the tools to succeed.
