Chess is one of my top subjects!

Teaching through example. I will not do your work for you, but rather show you the roadmap to success and see that you follow the proper steps.
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.

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 junior team members. The most fulfilling part of my business experience has been mentoring and teaching other team members.
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 ow ... read more

I greatly enjoy finding a way to inspire a child to understand the problem at hand. Through from my experience in grade school and my observation of students that attend tough schools I've realized the monotonous class schedule and disciplinary philosophy of most schools deflates most student's desire to succeed. While I can relate to this rebellious reaction I also know that it is no excuse for not trying very hard in school because the main path to success as a young adult is a high school diploma with excellent grades. I am very patient and friendly with students of all abilities.
A diverse education at Wesleyan University has prepared me to tutor many high school subjects. I earned my BA at Wesleyan in Music but I almost double majored in Environmental Science. The high expectations of professors at Wesleyan pushed me to greatly improve my writing ability, with my music th ... 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.

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.

More About This Tutor...

I personally can say that I have learned the most & can recall the most from those teachers that I consider my favorites. I believe it is because they knew how to inspire and motivate me to achieve what I thought I couldn’t or didn’t want to do. Those early experience is the inspiration behind the way I teach/tutor and write. I once heard it stated that ‘no one cares how much you know until they know how much you care’. I truly believe that you have to have a genuine interest in the individuals you are trying to inspire in order to make learning a possibility, especially in young children & adolescents. I also believe that in order to make a difference & be a positive influence; you really have to enjoy & have a passion for what you do

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.

Whether in the environment of education, work or community, leadership and mentoring has always been my focus. My strong educational values were developed throughout my elementary and high school levels, graduating with honors. This level of achievement followed me through College, graduating with honors while I earned a BS degree with a double concentration in financial accounting and business management, including a minor in psychology. I then pursued my MBA degree, achieving an honors grade point average. Computer skills are essential in today’s climate and I can proficiently use Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint. Community involvement is also important and I have served in the Boy Scouts, U.S. Army, and Knights of Columbus.

A Little Bit About Me...

After over decade of classroom teaching and preceding experiences teaching as a manager, I have developed a style that would be considered eclectic, at once rooted in the cognitive behavioral and infused with existentialist expectations. The key element is to reach each unique individual, assessing strengths and weaknesses, and facilitate an atmosphere in which students can find personal success while engaging the group dynamic. I spend a great deal of time examining just what it is I am doing as an educator, how I feel about outcomes and how I can adjust curriculum, practices, and in my case, administrative functioning to better serve my charges. Existing educational practices in no small way determine the modes and methods one uses to engage learners in and out of the classroom. However, teaching style and empathetic relationships to a great extent determine how students are engag ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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.
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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I first started tutoring in 2001 as in-house tutor at New Britain High School until June 2005.

A Little Bit About Me...

I enjoy helping people acquire knowledge. I have experienced the full spectrum of both poor and excellent instructors myself, so I am aware of what needs to be done in order to facilitate learning. I assess the abilities of each person I work with and develop an approach accordingly. I think that a combination of patience and humor can provide for an outstanding learning environment, and I employ this approach when teaching.
Both my Education and work experiences have thoroughly enhanced both my knowledge, as well as my communications skills. Having a degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry, I have attained knowledge in various fields of science.
