ABOUT RICHIEPREP · SINCE 2004
Since 2004, Richie's Language Institute has prepared students for leading boarding schools in the United States and for universities including the Ivy League. The ten RICHIE'S volumes and the twenty full-length tests on this site capture the method from that classroom. RichiePrep is where you practice it online.
OUR PEOPLE
Founder & Author
Author of all ten RICHIE'S volumes and every test on this site. He founded Richie's Language Institute in 2004.
Written by Richie Hahn. Developed with the assistant writers of Richie's Language Institute and reviewed before publication.
Over the years, native English-speaking educators have worked alongside the author at Richie's Language Institute as assistant writers — drafting passages and questions, reviewing wording, and piloting materials with students. The RICHIE'S series continues that work, and every volume credits them in its acknowledgments.
