Chess is one of my top subjects!

1st 30 min lesson is FREE! Throughout my career and also my time in school, I have always been able to not only achieve success in various levels of mathematics, but also articulate to others through teaching and working through examples so that they can achieve similar success and have a clearer understanding of how to complete their work independently. I also have over 25 years of chess experience, including both playing and teaching. I was taught at the high school level by someone who has coached many individuals and teams to various local, state and national championship victories. I also run an annual Sudoku seminar locally, where I walk through examples of puzzles with full crowd participation, and discuss tips and tricks to get you through more challenging puzzles.
Teaching through example. I will not do your work for you, but rather show you the roadmap to success an ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

After graduating from college with a BA, I began working for an environmental restoration and public education program. We led large volunteer groups sometime of more than 100 people, in local park and forest restoration event, and also led youth groups on 10 day restoration and hiking trips in the national forest. After this I worked for a program that places tutors in schools that are in need, where i tutored K-5 students in reading, led a ESL class of about 10 students, and worked as a teachers assistant in the class room. I have spent the last several years at a monastery where I have had experience mentoring and working with the public in meditation programs. I enjoy learning myself, and find the opportunity to help others learn and enjoy expanding their knowledge a very worthwhile activity.
I would say that all people are capable of learning and improving their abilities, kno ... read more

I really enjoy teaching because I enjoy seeing the progress with people as they excel in something they thought they would never be able to do. I like working with children because I can make learning fun and interesting to them. I have a lot of experience working with younger children in elementary school all the way up to young adolescents in high school. I have also been a mentor to freshmen in college. My teaching style is very eclectic. I understand that all people learn differently, and I am very open to adapting to the style that works best for them. Ultimately my main goal is to see people succeed and feel good about them selves. Teaching and tutoring comes very natural to me, because I have a lot of patients, and enjoy problem solving with a variety of people.
I am a recent college graduate who is very focused and motivated. I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology an ... read more

My approach is to determine the student's weaknesses, and then formulate analogies to explain the difficult concepts. I study the student's learning style in order to infuse the new material as easily as possible. Additionally, I introduce new ways to understand the material, and then observe the student's reaction.
I graduated Rutgers University majoring in Biology and German, and minoring in Chemistry. I have a strong science background, which I will continue to expand by completing a PhD at Yale starting in the Fall. I have experience tutoring students in math during the last 2 years of high school, and 1 year of calculus tutoring in college. In addition, I tutor my 13 year-old sister in all the subjects of her curriculum.

More About This Tutor...

I have always had a strong interest in Education. From my High School teenage years, I tutored Elementary and High School students in the summer that attended my church in my home country Barbados. I went on to pursue my Bachelors degree in Psychology, in which I earned Second Class Honors, so that I could have a deeper understanding of how individuals develop mentally. This advanced understanding of the distinct developmental stages allows me to better adapt my lesson plans to each unique individual that I tutor. While pursuing my masters degree in Industrial Psychology at Iona College, I home tutored 2 very different 5th Grade Elementary School girls from diverse backgrounds. I also worked as the Graduate Assistant of the Education Department at the College and gained invaluable knowledge from co-workers who are experienced teachers, lecturers and Superintendents from all over the ... read more

I am currently self-employed as a computer software trainer. My practice includes clients as well as groups. As part of my work, I'm currently an adjunct professor at 2 local community colleges. I'm also a Sunday school teacher at my local congregation. I've been doing this for many years. My classes over the years have ranged from K-6th grade. I thoroughly enjoy it and it's fair to say I get more than I give. Finally, I also teach adult ed as part of my business. My catalog includes not only computer courses but also piano, voice, guitar, and songwriting, as well as any other courses that I feel confident in teaching. I'm also a musician and believe in music, where possible, as part of my teaching philosophy.
People who've seen me teach describe me as relaxed, focused, and funny. For better or worse (I like to think better), I believe in age appropriate humor as part of an ove ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Dear Sirs, I am presently working as an English teacher, Homebound Instructor and Professional Development presenter for the Enlightenment Alternative School in Waterbury as well as an on-line facilitator for the CT. Virtual Learning Program. I was, for four years prior, facilitator and lead teacher for the Hillhouse Armory School in New Haven, an off-site alternative learning community. This position compelled me to perform several roles, including administrator, English teacher, and social development coordinator. I am a team oriented individual that is seeking a position working with regular-ed students, at-risk individuals, either teaching, facilitating on-line courses, coordinating programs, as an administrative aide, or any combination of the preceding. I am a committed individual with a history of developing new academic and enrichment programs as well as participating in vari ... read more

I am a very descriptive and thorough teacher. I enjoy explaining subjects first, then writing examples on the board to encourage note-taking. Then I like students to think of their own examples. I like to ensure that I am very clear in delivering my point, because I know how some students will remain quiet, even if they do not understand completely. If a student struggles to comprehend, and then I move on to the next topic too quickly, it is easy for that student to fall behind. I find it very important for students to hear what I'm talking about, then take notes on the topic, and then offer their own insight. I believe this process improves their ability to think creatively and become active participants in their learning.
I have recently graduated from the M.F.A. program at Western Connecticut State University with a degree in Professional and Creative Writing. I completed my und ... read more

I studied education at Montclair State University for 4 years but I have a always been a teacher. From leadership roles in high school to corporate training, I have a talent for being able to boil subjects down to their basics and provide true understanding. My strongest subjects are Math, Music, and Literature. I can also do work in Science, English and Humanities/Social Studies.
I teach people to learn and find answers on their own. I guide the student through exercises in any field and try to avoid straight memorization by putting the subject is some kind of context. I keep up with current trends and technology and can use that to aid in relationships and teaching.

A Little Bit About Me...

An honest teacher can be very effective and productive. If I am honest and open with students they will relate to me as a person. This will allow them to feel comfortable and welcome in my classroom. I am a very caring person. I am also a very caring teacher. I am an effective teacher because I care for my students. This shows in how I share the world of Science with them. The hands-on activities I use in my classroom allow my students to “learn by doing”.
I have studied and worked with people for the majority of my career. I have tutored and taught students for eleven years in the towns of New Britain and Southington, CT. I am a professional and this fact is supported by years of experience in teaching and my career.

After earning my BA in English and raising a family, I returned to school to take graduate courses in Elementary Education at Dowling College in Oakdale, New York. I completed my student teaching at Stagecoach Elementary School, but decided to accept a job as a Senior Educator at The Long Island Museum of Art, History and Carriages where I wrote and taught art and literacy programs for all ages. I also worked for years as an English tutor for St. James Tutoring agency, which served homebound elementary and high school students at the request of various school districts in Suffolk County.
I believe that successful teaching begins with engaging the student. If students are given what I call a "hook" something on which to secure new information, then learning can take place. This can be simply piquing the student's interest, building on past knowledge, posing a question or mystery ... read more

I received my BA from one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country. In addition to my psychology degree, I also studied Spanish extensively. Based on the liberal arts education that I received, I am fully capable of teaching a number of subjects including Spanish, History, and English. Currently, I teach Spanish and US History at a private boarding middle school in Connecticut but am moving to San Francisco for the summer. I also spent a lot of time in college and high school tutoring students in many subjects.
I believe that there is no such thing as a "bad" student/child. There are children that need more help and attention than others but everyone deserves the same amount of effort. I am very patient and laid back and really want to provide the best care possible to all children that I teach. I believe that students learn best when they are completely involved in t ... read more

I am patient and believe that every child has the ability to learn. Not all children have the same learning style and I can adjust to ensure the child is gaining an understanding of the material and concepts. I prefer to be a coach and allow the student to discover on their own. I will provide examples and guidance but want the student to learn he or she can figure things out for themselves.
For most of my life I have had a passion for education and learning. Education opens up a world of opportunities. While studying for my bachelor’s degree in Mathematics I developed a love for the subject because of its order, logic, and simplicity. I earned a masters degree in Computer Science which afforded me the opportunity to learned extensive grammatical skills while writing research papers. As a senior member of many computer systems development projects I have mentored several junio ... read more
