Richard Dunn

Military discount, LE and EMS. - Handyman and Handyman - Note: my listed availability only reflects my most common availability (I can make time depending on my fatherly duties and fulltime work schedule) Math Tutoring (Skip to next paragraph for my handyman services): My name is Ricky and I tutor math all the way to Calculus. I love trigonometry most. I am not a fan of common core but I don't tell my student that if that is what they need to learn for their current curriculum. I teach the principal of learning how to think and not what to think. I assume that I may be teaching the next Einstein or next genius so I try my best to remove limiting types of answers to questions. I tend to answer inquisitive questions with a question so that the student can teach themselves (learn how to think and problem solve). "Why does anything to the power of Zero always equal one?" Was a question that I didn't have way of answering. I told my student that their question is a really good one and that I don't know but that I would find out and tell them next time. So I did. I learn by teaching and it is also instantly rewarding. The current education system is not designed for the individual and I would like to help our youth learn to love learning (specifically math). You will see an immediate change in the desire to learn math after our first session. It starts with the homework assignment or upcoming test, then I reverse plan how to get there given current knowledge and understanding. I focus on the weakest link and make it stronger. Handy Man: I'm handy. I can do all sorts of home related projects. I own two homes and am partial owner of three AirBnB properties including one long term rental as part of a family business. I do most of the repairs and did 90% of the labor to get them ready for renters. I love working with my hands and seeing a project through. I am a man of integrity and love helping people. That smile after helping someone is worth a thousand words. My full time job is with the military at Patrick AFB and I am on here to offer my other skills. I am also on here to build references for a future construction job when I retire from the service. I am polite, respectful, friendly, honest, among other positive traits. If you are looking for trustworthiness, fairness, reliability, and efficiency then I can provide that; you can hold me to it. I pride myself in attention to detail and I am a hard worker. Right now I am primarily available on weekends and some national holidays. I also have some evenings available when I get off work. I am married and we have a child so I am working to support them. My work is a representation of me so I do my absolute best and don't cut corners. Please reach out with your project and if I can't do it, I will let you know and still help to refer contractors or other Thumbtack people that I know and trust. Either way, good luck and God bless.
