"Hello students,

Here is some information about my background. I have a B.A. and a Masters in English with minors in Creative Writing and Political Science. I bring my cheerfulness and devotion to teaching to each lesson. I engage my students in subjects by asking questions which elicit their participation in the lesson and the learning experience. I ask for feedback: are my explanations and lessons clear? How can I better explain what you need to learn? I adjust my teaching to students' needs.

I have taught in large classrooms, small groups, and one-on-one. The subjects include English for grades 7-12 and college level, Civics and Social Studies for grades 7 and 8, and Math for grades 5-8. I am also proficient in American and European History, Art History, and other subjects listed in my profile. I bring warmth and positive energy to each lesson. I break down the material being taught into small "bites" and I ask questions to ensure that students are grasping the meaning each time.

My goal is to make students feel confident about the subject they need to understand and for them to stand on their own with the subject, passing exams, if necessary. I welcome parents to engage with me, and I can easily be reached by text. I respond quickly and can schedule last minute appointments too.

I look forward to working with you!

Thank you,

Roberta" less...
