About Roberta


Bio

I enjoy meeting new students and finding out their level in computer science so that I can adapt my lesson for them. Tutoring one-on-one is an ideal learning platform because each lesson can be individualized. I enjoy tailoring lessons to individuals and guiding them in reaching a better understanding of computer science. I especially like helping students with their Java programming assignments.

I enjoy meeting new students and finding out their level in computer science so that I can adapt my lesson for them. Tutoring one-on-one is an ideal learning platform because each lesson can be individualized. I enjoy tailoring lessons to individuals and guiding them in reaching a better understanding of computer science. I especially like helping students with their Java programming assignments.

I have a Master of Science degree in computer systems from SUNY Binghamton School of Advanced Technology. And I have 20 years experience teaching computer science at both college and high school level.

I taught AP CS for over 20 years at Seabury Hall School on Maui. I taught C++ programming at Maui Community College. My strength is preparing students for the AP Computer Science exam in Java. I know what topics are the most difficult (recursion, reference variables. polymorphism etc.) and I have many examples and ways of shedding light on the mysteries.

If you are struggling in a Python, C++ or Java programming class or if you just need some encouragement and explanations please do not hesitate to try a session with me. I will do my best to help.

Roberta Understands Code.

I am a college student who had fallen behind in my computer science introductory course. During my lesson while Roberta worked quickly, she was extremely effective in explaining the concepts to me even when I am behind on the material we were talking about. She was able to both catch me up to speed on understanding what we are doing while having me actually do it. Extremely easy to talk to and is willing to answer any questions. Highly recommend.

Excellent Tutor!!!

Roberta has been helping me for over a year now with both Python and Java. Her knowledge in both languages is great and she makes learning the material much easier. She's very quick to respond and is very friendly. Would definitely recommend her!

The absolute best tutor!

Roberta has been the only tutor that I use to help with my assignments. She has gotten me through my Object Oriented Programming, as well as my Advanced Java Programming. With every assignment I have brought to her, my lesson has ended with clarity. She has been patient with me, even on assignments that have been tedious. She truly is an amazing tutor, and just nice to chat with throughout the lesson. I would not have been able to pass my classes without her. HIGHLY recommend.

Knowledgable and patient Computer Science tutor

Roberta has been tutoring my son for the past few months. He is taking Computer Science classes. He has an A in both his CS classes and I believe that is because we started the semester with weekly sessions with Roberta. My son said that he has specificially learned a lot about ArrayList from Roberta. I would recommend her if someone needs a CS tutor.

Perfect tutor for my high school senior

Roberta is patient explaining the concepts of AP Computer Science to a CS newbie. She has helped relieve a great deal of stress from lack of understanding...more hope of being successful. Thanks!
