My 13 year old son has been seeing Ricky for math tutoring for about 2 months now. He has gone from hating math to loving AND understanding math in just 2 months. He looks forward to math tutoring every single week! When he first started seeing Ricky, he was at about 2nd grade math level and lacked even the basics of math (addition, subtraction, multiplication). Now, he not only has the basics down, but he is up to speed with his current 8th grade math. Ricky has managed to find a way to teach my son math and make it fun and enjoyable! Both of which I never thought was possible. I have no idea where we would be if it wasn’t for Ricky at Math Cafe.

Hard Math Cafe in Yuba City was so great with Ricky. He really cares about students passing, and goes out of his way to help. Ricky was the reason I was successful in all of my math classes I took at Yuba College.

Very impressive tutor! He is very thorough and wants his students to understand the topics that are fuzzy! If there ever is an issue of not understanding a math topic, you will get the help you need when going to Hard Math Cafe and working with Ricky! Hes the reason why I passed by math class after struggling with math my whole life

Ricky helped my kids in ways that no other tutors ever had. My kids loved working with him, and they were always looking forward to meeting with him. And, of course, they both got As. Thank you Ricky. We really appreciate you.

I would highly recommend ricky. He is very good with kids and makes learning very fun. My daughter has already learned a lot. He is very flexible with his schedule and extremely optimistic with kids.
It’s amazing that we have this wonderful tutoring center in the Yuba-Sutter region. You should definitely visit them. The staff was fantastic, and their tutorsnare of exceptional quality. They assisted my son last year, and I returned this year. I wholeheartedly suggest them.

My son had difficult time with math from the beginning of his 3rd grade,it was stressful for me and my son. Ricky started back in November and helped my son to go through the difficulties and we are looking forward to start our summer sessions with him. I would really recommend him. Great understanding 👏
Hard Math Cafe is the best tutoring center. I highly recommend this center for anyone.

My 9 yrs old son has been working with Ricky for just under a year. My son is excited and eager to attend every tutoring session. Ricky is creative and engaging with every lesson. He has the ability to observe his students academic deficits then implement a creative lesson plan that meets students individual needs. I highly recommend Ricky for any age student’s academic tutoring needs.

Ricky has not only made learning math easier for my boys but he really gets to the heart of the issue. He has made a tremendous impact on my sons learning path.
