    About Rob R.

    4.8
    (27)
    I am an easy going, knowledgable and creative teacher. I strive to put the students and their personal needs first. I'm very aware that each student/person learns differently and I incorporate various strategies of learning into my lessons. There is a lot of humor and dialogue with my lessons, allowing my students the freedom to be themselves while playing. As a school teacher, I have lots of experience in building student confidence and knowledge. If you aren't confident then you aren't progressing! I like to record my students at different intervals of their education so they can hear the progress! I email a lesson recap after every lesson so that the student can see what we learned that week, including any notes/attachments for the student to review. I also encourage my students to text/email/ or call with any questions/concerns between lessons. This gives my students the ability to get through a challenging or difficult concept/strategy when its happening and not have to wait till the next lesson.

    Rob was really good with my son in taking the time to show him new tips and working on basics. We both learned a lot and his approach was excellent. I would definitely recommends Rob for anyone who wants to get better at pool.

    Avionics

    Jan, 1991

    US Naval Air Technical Training Institute

    Intensive 6 month program ( 30 hours in class a week) that focused on air craft electronics for the US Marine Corps. This laid a solid foundation in troubleshooting that I have used ever since in solving problems and figuring out complicated puzzles. Learning music is very similar in that many pieces have to be broken down and this requires patience and puzzle solving skills :)
