Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help

I feel a great deal of satisfaction in assisting children to fulfill their educational potentials. I believe that a solid foundation in arithmetical and writing/reading basics is essential for further educational success. I therefore prefer to tutor elementary school children. I believe that a prime goal of a tutor is to prepare material that the students can enjoy while they are learning and developing study skills. This will foster a desire to learn and a love for learning. I currently tutor privately 2 days a week for a 2nd Grader diagnosed with ADHD in reading comprehension, writing, and math. As Tutor at Hodge Road Elementary School, Knightdale NC I conducted Pre-and-Post-Tutorial Assessment Testing; prepared individualized lesson plans for K-5th Grade students in Language Arts and Mathematics; guided students in developing educational skills; assisted students in understanding l

I have been a chess player since age 7 - I am rated at 1850. I love to play and teach the game! In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that includes such issues as time management, test taking, study habits, and, sometimes, acculturation. My teaching methodology follows these simple steps: Step 1: Motivation Step 2: Definition & Understanding of terms Step 3: Explanation, exploration, discussion, debate Step 4: Questions & Answers Step 5: Practice: Time & Effort Step 6: Demonstration (or proof) I absolutely believe that motivation is required for learning. I have found that students become more motivated to learn when they understand how they will profit from the experience. I

Learned from my Dad, played in high school and college, still play a fairly mean game. Worked in both the chemical and nuclear engineering fields. Done industrial water chemistry, pharmaceuticial (intermediate and finished) manufacture, food chemicals, vitamins, industrial specialities, taught college algebra, tutored math, chemistry, and SAT, now consulting on chemical process development. 4 published papers and one patent (optics). Tailored to the needs and learning style of the student. In overview: (1) Identify the goal, (2) Determine the steps to get there, (3) Work on the weak areas and sticking points, and (4) Measure how well you have done. "One size fits all" is NOT in the plan.

Fun game that take strategy and planning. I obtained a B.S. in Biology, with a concentration in aquatic science, from Wittenberg University in 2006. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored elementary students in math and science twice a week for two years. After college, I moved onto marine science. In August of 2008, I started teaching High School Biology I, Earth and Space, and Physical Science to students in Polk County. In addition, after school hours were spent with two students taking AP Biology classes. Both students achieved a 4 or higher on their placement exam. In addition, my tutored students reported an increase in their ability to record class notes, study, and take tests. My previous tutoring experiences have included subjects such as; elementary science, elementary math, Algebra (I & II), Geometry, Pre- Calculus, Anatomy, Physiology, Biology (both College and H

As demonstrated by my experience I have taught classes as large as 150 students to one student, from the age of 80 to kindergarten. I believe that the best environment to explain a subject is one-to-one. While a class is good for reaching the masses or to attempt to allow the students to arrive at a conclusion together, to bring a student to an understanding of a difficult subject sometimes requires that undivided attention between student and teacher. With that understanding and my wide field of knowledge I have been able to explicate subjects utilizing various methods. I enjoy making use of visual aids, mathematics, stories, analogies, or common vernacular to impart the subject material, whichever is best suited to the student – which is determined after meeting with him or her. I have been teaching bible classes since I was 16 and tutored fellow students while in H.S. and in colle

I have over 12 years of experience helping students with various levels of academics. Many I have taught are in courses and levels of academics. I have helped some as young as elementary and some in Ph. D. courses. I have a heart for special needs students and a passion to help train new leaders out of any student who comes to me wanting to learn. I enjoy sharing my knowledge for someone else to go use and achieve. I have taught using various methods. Some are visual verbal learners and some I have taught are kinsthetic learners. I begin any teaching assignment with determining their learning style to then adjust my teaching method fit to the type of learner I am teaching. I have taught many types of learners using many types of teaching methods. Some I have taught just want to see it demonstrated and they catch on while others need it explained while demonstrated. The teaching method is

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. I am an Assistant Professor, Research scientist, lecturer and a teacher.

Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach. After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry.

I realize there is no one way to teach anyone. There is always those who learn best in different ways. I have always learned by doing and helping others, and of course practice and repetition helps. I am always there for the student and always wish to help in every way I can. Every math course I have taken I have aced and have tutored others in the course. Through pursuing my degree at Virginia Tech I have become proficient at applied mathematics and physics. For those interested in guitar, I have played guitar for 13 years and it has been a big part of my life. I am always looking to improve on my skill and teaching others to reenforce the basics and the underlying theory will not only help to improve the student but myself.

My grandfather was a decorated chess player and I learned most of what I know from him. If you are trying to learn chess or would like to learn some basic strategies I am more than capable of assisting you. I encourage questions and try to avoid anything resembling a lecture. I believe most students who are task oriented and fundamentally sound in the subject matter benefit greatly from learning in a group of like minded students as it creates an environment where many minds are working together, and very often will help each other answer their own questions. Students who are less task oriented or lack some fundamental knowledge of the subject matter may benefit more form one on one instruction where they are not being lectured but rater are working through each process with the instructor and much more lengthy explanations are possible. I do not believe there is a social gap between ins
