Prompt response time, dependability in every way, and the utmost care for students' academic successes are the driving forces Ms. Roberts adheres to as a personal teacher.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with a new student, I first like to get to know the young person for a few minutes. We talk about random subjects for a little while, then after the ice is broken, I focus on the matter at hand. We start slowly, with only a few minutes given to an academic topic, then I pause and we reflect on how it is going so far. At that point, I am quite flexible and will modify my presentation to better match the needs of the student. After a few modifications, we become comfortable with the learning process and can continue.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a classroom teacher since 1991 and have three certifications - High School English 9 - 12, Middle Grades English 5 - 9, and General Elementary K - 6.
