A Little Bit About Me...

I have been playing chess since I was 10 years old. I went to state as a sophomore in High School. I did not do so well my first year at state. My first year at state I only had one win. The next year I had 4 wins and 3 losses. I finished in the top half at state during my junior year.I have won against several opponents who are hard to beat.

I carry BS degree in Accounting, BS degree in Technical Management, and a few credit shy from completing my MBA in Information Management. Please be aware that I possess excellent technical, business, accounting skills.

I first question the students in what they already know to see the areas that need less instruction. Then I ask them problems from their school texts and see how they do. This will give me some knowledge of where the student is failing and the area that needs more support. I then ask them at the session's end if they learned something and how that makes them feel. This is most important because if the student does not feel that they are learning and what the knowledge can be used for, they will loose interest and not pay attention in class. This is why many fail technical courses because unlike other subjects, math and science builds upon itself so if you do not learn the basics first, the next topics will be harder to grasp.
