Rosalyn's Learning
About
I am comprehensive to my student's needs and strive to meet the goals that we set out to achieve together. I am very patient and as a 15+ year educator, I make sure my students can demonstrate their learning before we move further into content.
I've taught children as young as 5 all the to adult education. I've taught many subjects including K-8 general plus 5-8 Science. I've also taught ESL early learner to adult.
I enjoy working with learners who want to learn and are invested in their progress. I love seeing my students grow and I love to show them the progress they've made from when we began to where they are now.
I make my courses as welcoming as possible and I also like to have fun during lessons. It allows for a more productive learning environment.
