About Roland
I am extremely patient with struggling students and can help them break down complicated tasks into simple easy-to-understand steps. My experience of 40+ years teaching all subjects in grades 1-6 has given me great insight into student needs and finding a solution that works. I specialize in reading and writing instruction at all levels. I am also extremely competent in math at the elementary and middle school levels.
I absolutely love it when a student of mine suddenly says, "I got it! Now I understand."
I had several outstanding teachers in junior high school (now known as middle school) who inspired me tremendously. Miss Beach, my art teacher, was the advisor for FTA (Future Teachers of America) and with her coaching, I was hooked. I planned my entire college education before I started high school.
I have a college degree in education as well as several years of postgraduate work from different universities. I have completed five semesters of training in programs regarding Gifted and ESOL education. I am certified in Gifted Education which includes Children with Disabilities. I still hold a current teaching certificate in the state of Florida.

I meet with parents through a Zoom session to gain an understanding of each student's individual needs. I find out past history, including standardized test scores and student/parent concerns. I use Zoom for online lessons. I upload age, grade, and skill-appropriate reading activities and build my lesson around it. I use online and verbal responses to check comprehension and writing skills.
I have taught every grade from kindergarten to 8th grade. I have experience in all subjects at the elementary level but for the past 23 years, I specialized in middle school reading, language arts, and math. The students I have worked with range from non-readers to gifted students. My expertise is helping struggling students get back to grade level.

Excellent! Hi spend ample amount of time with students. Share the student's feedback and progress with parents on timely manner. Focus on where the student is lacking.
Excellent! Roland was very helpful with getting my child more comfortable with math. He made math easy and interesting.
Perfect! Before working with Steven my child hated math. He had no confidence in himself and would get easily frustrated. Since working with Steven he has progressed so much. He is more confident when doing math. He can’t wait for tutoring. I always recommend Steven to parents looking for tutors.

- Thank you very muchRoland's response :
Perfect! We have nothing but rave reviews for Mr Stevens. He is extremely patient and knowledgable. He is also very motivating and excellent at bringing out the truest potential of our son. When we started tutoring, our son was very behind in math. Within 6 months of working with Mr. Stevens, Liam is doing work at his grade level, progressing, and growing in confidence. The work ethic and professionalism of Mr. Stevens has for sure guided our son in the right direction. We appreciate him so much.

Teaching skills are wonderful.Appreciate his effort and dedication to teach the kids and help them out inproving their skills.
Mr. Stevens is an amazing teacher, he know how to work with kids. We have started using him from January 2024 and we have seen a 50 points increase in our son’s star test rating for English within 4 months. He is very flexible in terms of schedule and charges you only for the time that class goes on. There were multiple instances where we had to cut short the classes and we only paid for the class times. We highly recommend Mr. Stevens for English and his course works makes it fun for the kids and enjoyable.
One of my grandsons was lagging in reading. I hired Mr. Steven's to work with him and his testing scores have come way up from being held back a year to in the 90s. He is also doing some math tutoring and doing well. My grandson looks forward to his tutoring sessions. We all like Mr. Stevens so much that I decided to have him also tutor another grandson who is just starting to read to help him excel and be confident in his reading. The boys are going into 1st and 3rd grade. Mr. Roland has many years of experience in teaching and his pricing is very reasonable so I can afford to have both boys tutored.
We have been working with Roland for more than 2 months with our 6 years old and we are seeing so much improvements !
My son isn’t frustrated about learning how to read and is always looking forward to his session with Roland.
We are doing 2-3 sessions a week for now and I would like to do 3-4 sessions a week when winter rolls around.
Roland is very patient with my son and funny!Mr Stevens is very professional and really engaged with each tutoring session. He provides positive feedback and building confidence with my 7 th grader. Thus far very happy with his tutoring in grammar and reading comprehension.
Mr. Stevens is a wonderful tutor. He was very patient with my child and flexible with our schedules. Because of Mr. Stevens, my child's reading has improved significantly!
All through the last few years, we’ve struggled with our son who is not a fan of reading, nor writing. He’s now in middle school, and he was tested as reading 3 grade levels below his peers. We heard about Mr. Stevens from a friend who had loved him when he taught her children. Mr Stevens was able to peak our sons attention right away. He taught him strategies and techniques in both reading and writing that made sense to our boy. He guided him through a variety of stories, even created online books from his vast selection of stories, which were quick reads. Our sons confidence grew with his ability to read. He the taught our son to write short responses by making a claim, finding a citation, and making a commentary. Mr Stevens strategy was so easy to use and more importantly, highly effective. By the next testing cycle, our son had made tremendous gains! His confidence in reading and writing has grown, and his grades are improving. Mr Stevens’ tutoring style has made all the difference. He is also so willing to work with me, guiding my support so it is effective, not punitive or pointless. His skills from years of teaching are so fine-tuned as to make him an expert in his field. I highly recommend Mr Stevens!
s very professional. He was always on time and always had an interesting lesson for my 6th grade son. His reading skills have improved greatly and he is obviously enjoying reading more. I highly recommend him and will continue to use his services for my son.
This is the best private tutor my daughter has worked with. She tells me that she enjoys working with him and she appears to be making progress in her class. I highly recommend him.
