Introduction: I have taught kindergarten through fifth grades for over 20 years. Reading is the foundation for all subjects. I currently work with students using a reading program that includes sight words, comprehension, phonics, fluency and spelling. I place a strong emphasis on phonics, breaking words into syllables, and advanced sight words. My students make significant progress and usually reach advanced levels in reading quickly. I have taught four and five year olds to read well after letters and sounds are mastered. My goal is to help students to advance their reading skills and develop a love for reading. I enjoy seeing my students' improvement as well as enthusiasm and self confidence.

The best. You can't go wrong with Mrs.Robertson. She is so patient and encouraging and she gets results. She started with my six year old who was behind in reading. She worked with him two days a week and now I have a serious reader on my hands. This kid is into chapter books and loves to read. All thanks to Mrs.Robertson

I arrange tutoring sessions to be convenient for all involved.
