James D. - Rocky Mount, NC 27803 (8.5 mi) - Chess Tutor - $55.00/hr.
Chess skill comes from much experience in both winning and losing games (obviously). Yet there ARE winning principles that are not generally known. This, then, is what I tutor -- how to mainly win when playing Chess. I have experience in playing Chess since 1949, and I love to teach winning principles to "new minds". I have been teaching throughout my career, and students learn quickly because of my easy-going style. I have been vetted by WysAnt Tutoring Service. I am an experienced Public Speaker and Toastmaster. Math instructor (NC State University); Aeronautical Research Engineer (NASA LaRC); Chief of Rendezvous Analysis Branch (NASA Johnson Space Center); Chief of Mathematical Physics Branch (NASA Johnson Space Center); Executive Engineer for Mission Planning and Analysis Division (Johnson Space Center); Manager of Technologies (General Electric Space Division); Computer Manufacturin

I believe with my background I should be a good candidate for the tutoring position. I have a B.S. Chemistry from Elizabeth City State University, where I did R&D work with Atrazine. Atrazine is a pesticide that was tested qualitatively and quantitatively using HPLC. I've completed coursework for a M.S. Chemical Physics from Norfolk State University. After being offered a Teaching Assistantship, I taught multiple chemistry laboratory classes. My graduate research focuses on synthesizing organic monomers for Photovoltaic applications; however, I have assisted with research devoted to immobilizing enzymes onto solid supports at the Center for Materials Research, NSU. I am very knowledgeable in wet chemistry techniques as well as analytical characterization, such as TGA, UV/VIS, NMR, DSC, GPC,..etc.

John F - Clayton, NC 27527 (27.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I have been a counselor in the public schools for the past 16 years, both at the elementary and high school levels. I have tutored students in many subjects; ranging from 3rd grade math to advanced algebra to US History. I am able to diagnose weak points in the student's knowledge and remedy those weak points so that the student is better able to have a full understanding of the content. I believe that most academic difficulties come from small gaps in knowledge and a misunderstanding of how parts relate to the whole.

Robert M - Garner, NC 27529 (33.9 mi) - Chess Tutor - $36.50/hr.
As an Exstension Safety Specialist, I have had the opportunity to provide youth and adults with needed information to effect a positive change in their lives. Many of the programs involving these clients were requested by the recipients based upon their needs. It was my responsibility to develop various ways for them to reach their goals. I love to involve children in learning exciting and useful information. I use many different ways, sometimes just talking and gleaning what is on their minds, then planning learning experiences that address these topics. I strive to reach all of my students as they try to gain useful information.

Jessica H - Raleigh, NC 27603 (37.5 mi) - Chess Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I believe it is vital to approach each child with an open mind concerning their learning style, pace, and interest in various subjects. I use tools such as movement, song, rhythm, and sounds to open up a different path to understanding subjects like math, science, grammar, and many others. I believe giving children a bodily experience to relate to their academic learning allows for much more growth and it reduces frustration with themsleves when they don't understand lessons only taught through lecture or writing. I have a heavily arts-based education and teaching background. I taught for a year in an inner-city school teaching creative movement and dance technique. I have artist teacher training from the Lincoln Center Institute for Arts in Education and have been in-residence at several schools working with children by using the arts as the window to learn their academic curriculum

Brigid R - Raleigh, NC 27607 (38.1 mi) - Chess Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I see the role of the educator as a pivotal element in not only academic success, but social and cultural success as well. Therefore my teaching skills often incorporate pockets of knowledge from various disciplines. I also believe that the role of the teacher can also mirror the role of the student, as both teacher and student can learn from each other. I believe that children should be given the necessary tools that foster intellectual curiosity, so as to sharpen creativity and independent thinking. My approach to teaching is not to just impart information, but to impart information in such a way that will lend for students to engage in questioning and realization of answers. Because after all, learning is discovery! My academic and professional histories champion my lack of formal teaching experience. Upon graduating from NC State with Psychology and Journalism degrees in December

Jamieson M - Raleigh, NC 27612 (39.5 mi) - Chess Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I have been tutoring since I was 13 years old. Parents of my peers always approached me to teach their son or daughter. After I completed high school with a 4.0 GPA I was hired at a professional tutoring school. There I worked for nearly 10 years with a loyal student base many of whom I taught the entire time. I taught kids from when they were in elementary school all the way until high school. Some students were ineligible to go to normal school so I was their only teacher for years. In that time I managed to get these students up to 4 years ahead in certain subjects like math and science. I've also taught students that could not even speak english when they came to me and in a short amount of time they were fluent. Teaching to me is about relating the information to the students in a way they can understand. It is very important to make the material relevant to their lives some

Jackie S - Raleigh, NC 27606 (40 mi) - Chess Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I have always been gifted in mathematics, and I feel that is is my duty to help others achieve the success that I have. I earned a BS from Bucknell University in mathematics and I am now working towards a PhD in statistics at NC State University. I have taken education courses and I have worked with professors to run "gifted and talented" mathematic courses for students. I have always found that the best teachers are the ones who are able to explain the same concept in a variety of ways, so this is what I seek to do when teaching. I also attempt to not only teach a student how to do a problem, but also to gain a "big picture" view of the concept being taught; i.e., I want the student to be able to not only apply the concept to problems of the same type that he/she does in homework, but also to related problems that he/she might not have previously seen.
