Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Broomfield, CO

Been playing chess as a favorite pastime for about 16 years. I once started my own chess club in high school and wish to see the game continue to thrive. Have access to tournaments and wish to start a society for the game that can compete. Hands-on. This allows the student to experience first-hand the complexities of strategy, to further build critical thinking and logic skills in a profound fashion. This will also allow the student a more "upfront" approach and will allow the student to gather their own strategies, and above all else, an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Progress will be reviewed based upon the basic ability to think ahead, forming advanced tactics, and overall knowledge of each piece's value. Through this method it is my hope that the student walks away with a deeper understanding not only of the game of chess, but also that they might be able to grasp the world aro

I love kids and I love teaching. Each student has a different learning style, and I will adapt my teaching methods to accomodate their needs. I think that my patience, dedication, and enthusiasm for the profession will be a great benefit to all with whom I come in contact. I believe all children can learn and I will do everything I can for each of my students to achieve their goals. I have been a substitute teacher in all academic subjects. I have managed a classroom of 5-12th graders as well as presented the lesson prepared by the teacher for that day. This experience has increased my knowledge of the behavior of middle and high school students. In addition to my substitute teaching duties, I have accumulated over 600 hours in the classroom through internships and student teaching. I participated in the “Summer in the City” internship given by the New York City Board of Education

As an ivy league graduate, I have attained a top-notch education and had access to the best professors in the world. Through my major I have studied mathematics, including Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, Calculus, and Statistics. I have tutored high school students for several years in their homes, mostly for SAT prep and Algebra. My SAT I scores were 710M and 710V. I have worked with students who are very bright, and just wanted to score a little higher on their boards, and students who had trouble passing their courses before they came to me for help. Whether I assist the student to get a "C" in their math course, or an 800 on the SAT math section, I have always enjoyed working with children. I know the material, and I have the patience to explain and make sure the student understands.

I am a firm believer that it takes someone special to be a teacher. A good teacher must be empathetic towards student needs, have a good sense of humor, and exceptional communication skills. Communication skills are not limited to inside the classroom. A good teacher must be able to talk to parents, administration, and other staff members. It is their job to make the classroom a safe and welcoming environment where academics are the main focus. They must be willing to motivate even the students who are the hardest to reach with astounding knowledge of their content area, but also with a great personality. These skills are never truly mastered, a good teacher always wants to find new ways to excel at their job. When you enter a classroom it is like entering a mixing bowl full of different ability levels, motivation levels, talent, and skill. It is the teacher’s job to address each one of

I love teaching. I have been working with children of all ages. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference to a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives. As college graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelor degree, BA (hons) in Biology and Chemistry, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science.

I am a passionate teacher willing to devote my time and abilities to the success of my students. I believe that a teacher's ability to personally tailor instruction to his/her students is imperative to the student's success. Differentiation and classroom management have been personal strengths in my past educational experiences. My goal is to provide an environment for students to learn at their own pace, feeling secure and confident in their abilities. Throughout my own personal education, as well as my involvement in the CU school of education, I've come to understand the importance of teachers in children's lives. I feel strongly about my ability to make a beneficial impact for all of my students. I recently graduated from the University of Colorado with two bachelor's degrees in elementary education and psychology. Throughout my studies at CU I taught at several different (and

I recently graduated from Connecticut College with a BA in Mathematics, with minors in French and Philosophy. I received a departmental math prize each year of my college career, and served as a math tutor, as well as proofread French papers for other students. At the same time, I worked in the Career Enhancing Life Skills office, was the Master Electrician for Theater Services, and participated in club soccer, orchestra, and other campus activities. I particularly enjoyed my role as a dorm leader: I was a Governor during my sophomore and junior years, and promoted student involvement in dorm activities. I was also a Housefellow (a paraprofessional Residence Advisor) my senior year, ensuring the physical and mental health of all students in the dorm, in coordination with other departments on campus. One of the most interesting things about math, in my opinion, is how everyone can hav

I love the interaction between a teacher and their students. For me teaching is a form of self discovery. My students are like mirrors in which I see my strengths and weaknesses. I constantly learn from my students and I grow as they grow. I feel as individuals we are limitless and teaching reminds me of it as I see my students grow. My students in turn gain confidence about themselves through the same process of discovery. I am a great believer in that education is a tool to learn about yourself and to exercise self belief and confidence in yourself. I not only teach subjects, but also teach students to learn about themselves. As a Computer Science graduate, I have had extensive experience in Mathematics, physics, and computers. As I have always been passionate about teaching, I always taught while attending school. Teaching and tutoring experience: - High school calculus - SA

I enjoy working with children, and in one-on-one settings, I find it the most effective. I do demand alot from my students, especially considering the distractions and challenges children face these days. Emphasis on studying and school work remains my focus. I achieve that by a slow, deliberate teaching of methods that I hope the children find useful in the learning process. I focus on core fundamentals and critical thinking skills, applied to whatever subject I am helping with. Ultimately, the fundamental necessity is dedication, effort, and discipline on behalf of the student and myself to make this endeavor a success. My undergraduate degree in biochemistry provides a solid foudation in the sciences such as Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Biology. The reading and writing skills I learned during my course studies further supplemented my overall skill sets, and make me a well r

I am an exceptional math/English tutor. I've earned a bachelor degree in Accounting from Santa Clara University. I have three years professional working experience for several multinational companies, which has helped me understand the importance of great communication and math skills in business. In Denver, I've taught math and English to high-risk youth. For the 2010-2011 school year, I had 100% of my students’ parents request me to be next year's tutor. I passed the state certified PLACE mathematics exam showing competency in math (i.e. pre-algebra, algebra I, II, calculus, trig, geometry, and other math operations and concepts). In Peru, I taught English for a year. I speak fluent Spanish and have taught many students with disabilities. I love teaching kids. Kids absorb new things like a sponge and often need things taught in a variety of ways in order to fully comprehend a subject.

In teaching math and physics I find that most student's heads start to spin when looking at numbers, so I do my best to use analogies to describe a mathematical process, then once a student feels comfortable with the analogy they can apply this analogy to solve problems with numbers. Again stemming from overcoming phobias of math or physics being the most important step in learning, I try to make the complicated and confusing territory of math and physics easily navigable by bringing problems to a tangible ground for students. I've recently tutored math and general science for UpwardBound, a program designed to inspire and give the tools necessary to under-privileged high school students to become first generation college students. Throughout my study of math and physics, I've found that most people that are unable to do these subjects are limited by their own phobias and that if they ar

Although I have no formal teaching experience, we all learn and teach everyday in our lives. I am very intelligent and want to pass that on. I have done much reading when I was younger, exploring memory and mnemonics. I also took the Mega-Memory and speed reading courses by Kevin Trudeau. They are the ones that are in the Skymall catalog. I believe those really helped me in my studies, because I learned to approach learning the same way I approached sports. People would laugh in university when I would tell them that I never read anything for school late at night because I was tired and it wouldn't sink in properly, or that I would never eat a meal less than one hour before a test and I challenged them to try the same. Learning starts with learing about oneself and how you best perform. It is very similar to sports, you start off learning the techniques and then you must learn how
