Carl W - Heath Springs, SC 29058 (12.5 mi) - Chess Tutor - $34.00/hr.
Having earned a bachelor's degree in Theology and Apologetics with superior academic achievement,I have challenged myself academically, and developed excellent writing and argumentative skills. I have written extensive research papers, and successfully defeated many opponents in classroom debate. I served as a tutor for Homeland Park Elementary for one year during my college career. There have been numerous studies showing that different types of learning exist, and it is my belief that each individual student needs to be taught through adaptive teaching methodologies. I believe that everyone is unique, and each student needs to develop their own style of learning. It is the job of the educator to discover those different styles and implement a teaching method that is most advantageous to the student.

Leslie P - Weddington, NC 28173 (21 mi) - Chess Tutor - $40.50/hr.
My teaching style is founded on being patient and intentional towards every learning student. I am very intentional about making sure that students feel comfortable expressing how they do not understand material so that I can provide resources and assistance to their specific needs. I also strive to find a healthy balance between tutor aid and student discovery. I believe that with the right guidance and instruction, students can discover a skill and apply it to many academic challenges. Specifically, I love helping students take their thoughts and create meaningful, clear and strong prose in order to convey their understanding of a text. As a graduate from UNC with a degree in English, I have gained an in-depth understanding of the English language. Through this rigorous program, I was consistently expected to provide strongly written and grammatically accurate essays that proved I had

Joseph F - charlotte, NC 28277 (21.3 mi) - Chess Tutor - $37.00/hr.
As an MBA graduate with a concentration in Finance, I have had much experience with Finance and Accounting courses. I am used to working in teams and have a talent for simplifying complex information in order to help others. I have tutored a friend in undergraduate accounting and with my help he received an A in the class. I consider myself an expert in MS Excel, Access, and PowerPoint; all of which I believe will be essential in completing a degree in finance or accounting. I am fresh out of my masters program and have taken all the relevant courses that would enable me to help other students in their pursuit of a finance/accounting degree. I really enjoy helping and teaching people. I realize that everyone learns in a different fashion and that each student needs a specifically tailored teaching method. I believe a student really learns the material when he/she understands the reasonin

Kevin H - Charlotte, NC 28226 (25.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $45.00/hr.
Throughout my academic years, in the public school system and higher education, I excelled in mathematics. As a senior at Harding University High School in Charlotte, NC, I obtained a top score of 4 out of 5 on the Advanced Placement Calculus AB exam. This allowed me to bypass taking Calculus I as a freshman at N.C. State University where I majored in meteorology. Meteorology, a science that studies the dynamics of weather, requires complex mathematical knowledge. At the completion of my undergraduate meteorology curriculum, I received an A+ in Calculus II and III. In May, 2008, I graduated with a Bachelor's degree. For the past two years, I have been tutoring middle and high school students in math at two private schools in North Carolina. My teaching technique strictly focuses on the task at hand mainly for proper concentration. I value and encourage student questions because it demons

John B - Charlotte, NC 28226 (27.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $40.50/hr.
Since high school I've been working with my peers to help clarify subject matter, as that was my favorite method of study. In college I tutored under-classmen in Spanish, chemistry, and political science. Since graduating, I've worked with college freshmen as a writing tutor and with middle school students to teach algebra and pre-algebra. I'm a very strong writer, and I've got a broad background allowing me to tutor in any subject through freshmen year to college. My method of teaching varies with the subject. A spanish tutor and a chemistry tutor can go about things quite differently. I like leading students to find answers on their own so that they understand the paths they are taking. That method is especially helpful in hard sciences and math. In the liberal arts (poli-sci, literature, religion, philosophy, etc.) I like to work in the Socratic method. I'll challenge the students on

Lisa M - Charlotte, NC 28226 (27.6 mi) - Chess Tutor - $38.50/hr.
Earning a degree in Communications accelerated my skills in writing through Journalism, research papers and Rhetorical studies. Additionally, writing is something I enjoy and practice on a daily basis. It has been a number of years since I have tutored a child however, I would like to incorporate my vocational experience as well as my collegiate studies into my teaching practices. I would love the opportunity to teach grade school children. It was during my formidable years that I can recall a young lady who impacted my education in a very significant way. Additionally, I also have very fond memories of several children who I mentored through tutoring. My innate enthusiastic nature has facilitated a strong desire with the children to participate in the learning process in many unique ways. I gain tremendous joy and satisfaction through observing this process.

Renato J - Matthews, NC 28104 (27.6 mi) - Chess Tutor - $41.00/hr.
Children have an inate desire to learn: My task is to "train them up in the way they should go, so that when they are old, they will not not depart from it." Having three children of my own, ages 16, 12, and 8, I have always had an active part in teaching them. They have taught me patience, love, and perseverance to the task at hand. Teaching is my gift! Inspiring my students to learn is my passion. Adapting my teaching to their learning style has always proven to be an effective technique. Having taught and tutored middle school to community college level students for more than seven years, I work to inspire them to be active learners. My BA in Mathematics and additional graduate studies in Mathematics Education serve to provide a rich understanding of this subject. Also, my seminary years afforded me ample opportunities through research papers, book reviews, journal entries, and essays

Kristopher F - Charlotte, NC 28211 (28.3 mi) - Chess Tutor - $43.00/hr.
I really enjoy seeing people learn new things. It has been my experience that when someone struggles to learn a new subject, the best method is to relate the subject in question to something more familiar. Patience and persistence are two very powerful tools. I believe in tutoring because it forces active participation. Once a pupil feels they can participate without fear, they can and will learn more effectively. I am a graduate of Hamilton College, one of the top liberal arts institutions in the United States. I have a bachelor degree in history with a focus on American colonial and British imperial history which has honed both my critical reading and writing skills. In addition, I am 18 credits shy of completing graduate degrees in both business administration and sports administration. In the past I have worked with children as both a sports coach, and as an instructor for vari

River City High School, Sacramento CA Algebra teacher 08/08/2005-12/18/2005
Teacher Assistant Math department UCDavis 09/30/2003 – 08/05/2005
TA for classes Calculus 16A, 16B, 16C and 21A, 21B, 21C (groups and individual consultations) About my role as a teacher, I think that the main principle should be “teaching for understanding”. A teacher creates learning opportunities that engage students in thinking about important mathematical concepts. Facts and skills support such learning but are not the ultimate goal. A teacher not only draws on past knowledge of mathematics but continuously builds on and refines that knowledge during meaningful interactions with students and colleagues. Thus, her or his practice as a teacher is constantly evolving

Paul C - Columbia, SC 29223 (34 mi) - Chess Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I feel as though I am highly qualified and competitive for a teaching position because of my abilities to relate to children of all ages. As a volunteer basketball referee at Northside Baptist Church, Upward basketball program since 1998, I work with children between the ages of 7 and 13. I teach them about basketball and sportsmanship.
As a parent of a 17 year old son, I constantly mentor him and his friends on life, school and everything in between. I really enjoy talking to these young men and giving them information about the importance of education. This seems to have a positive impact on the decisions they are starting to make.
I am very eager to get into the school system as a full time teacher. I enjoy working with children and desire to be a role model for the youth of today.
I look forward to asset the school district and impacting my community through leadership
