Career Experience

I have been in the teaching field for 32 years and recently retired to live in the dream home my husband and I built on 22 acres. I've taught at all levels beginning with 10 years at elementary school, spending two years at middle school and ending in a secondary high school. I retired because I was exhausted but as soon as I caught up on my sleep I realized that I REALLY missed teaching - particularly high school English essays. Call me crazy but I LOVE reading essays and helping students make them better! I'm also sympathetic to the very confusing world of English grammar and I can give some simple rules to help students remember correct usage. I've been doing once a week face tutoring at the local library and probably the best endorsement I've ever received is that (during a recent illness) my students refused to be transferred to anyone else - preferring to wait for me to return.

I Love Tutoring Because

of the way it allows me to work one-on-one with individual students and truly help them with whatever problems THEY have. In a classroom of 32, it's hard to get through the material in an hour, but with tutoring, I can check for understanding and know immediately if the student has "got it" or needs further explanation. No one is bored and the work gets done easily. I also enjoy tutoring because it allows me to interact with so many interesting people.

Very good tutor. She helped me extensively with my very difficult No Red Ink assignment. If it wasn't for this tutor I wouldn't have gotten 100 on the assignment and quiz. I hope to have her next time I am in need for some English help.

Ms. Roberta is the best. She is very precise when it comes to reading my paper. Other tutors tell you what to do with the paper but don't show you what must be done. This is why I recommend Ms. Roberta: She will show you what to fix instead of just telling you. She is the best of the best. Thank you always, Ms. Roberta.
