Testimonials
“Laura’s enthusiasm, encouragement, and expectations helped my son develop an interest in and appreciation for reading that had previously eluded him....[she] opened up whole worlds for him and gave him the confidence to jump in. It seems to me that [Laura] manages to engage every student and help them dial up what they think they’re capable of doing.”
“Laura Roberts is a wonderful teacher who is dedicated to her students. She is engaging, energetic and fully present while teaching. Ms. Roberts has nurtured my son to be creative and a critical thinker. She has the ability to meet a child where they are at and help them achieve their full potential. My son has voiced repeatedly how much he loves her style of teaching and how helpful she has been. We are thankful to have had her support and guidance.”
“Laura’s extensive experience in education has given her a deep understanding of young people and how they learn. She has a remarkable ability to identify the specific needs of every student, and she works resolutely to help them achieve well beyond their expectations.”
“A few magical teachers in a child’s life connect and resonate in ways that not only create technical competence, but also go deeper to inspire interest, curiosity, reverence, and even passion for their subject matter. Laura Roberts is that rare teacher and I’m forever grateful. For my sixteen-year-old daughter, Ms. Roberts is the English teacher against whom all future English teachers are measured. ”
