Chess is one of my top subjects! Been playing chess as a favorite pastime for about 16 years. I once started my own chess club in high school and wish to see the game continue to thrive. Have access to tournaments and wish to start a society for the game that can compete.

I started playing chess with my father when I was 7 and have been playing my entire life since. I grew up losing time and time again but I refused to give up on the game. I sought individuals with much more experience than me until one day, I started winning! I took on more challenging endeavors time after time and continually sought more and more challenging players to increase my expertise. Now it has been almost two years and I am waiting to lose, so my offer to teach chess isn't based upon credentials or tangible evidence of my expertise, but is just as much a search for a challenging player as it is a learning experience for my students.
Hands-on. This allows the student to experience first-hand the complexities of strategy, to further build critical thinking and logic skills in a profound fashion. This will also allow the student a more "upfront" approach and will allow the s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During the last five years I have taught others how to use social media, viral marketing, search engine optimization and social media marketing more effectively. I have been recognized by peers as a leader in the emerging space of social knowledge, which embraces a holistic approach to the social interactions an organization has internally and with customers and partners.
I focus on the individual first - her style of learning, what makes her mind tick, how she responds to different methods of teaching. I believe that people are treated fairly by being treated individually. I also believe that people do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. I strive to set an example of genuine care and concern for the learner.

More About This Tutor...

I believe that everyone, children and adults alike, can learn through patience, creativity and organized lessons. I make it fun and interesting, and possess many years of interesting real world experiences to draw on to help students understand and learn.
While at Devry Institute of Technology, I was ranked in the top 3% of National Engineering students. This degree required advanced mathematics including Calculus, differential equations, and network synthesis. It also included computer programming and electronic circuit theory and design. In my career I have taught Windows, MS Office, robotics and programming to adults, helped teenagers graduate from high school, and helped my 7 year old daughter learn math.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a lifelong learner I have a unique perspective on how difficulties inside and outside of school can effect learning. I earned by B.S. in Business when I was 31 years old and I am now in the process of earning my Masters Degree. During this time I have aquired the skills needed to become succesful in learning and I am eager to share these skills with others. My ultimate goal is to instruct college classes to help others make thier stars shine.
My teaching style reflects my personality and that is comfortable and confident. Peoples' minds are most open to learning when they are comfortable with their situation, surroundings, and the people they are interacting with. Being confident in yourself will lead to confidence in your students.

A Little Bit About Me...

Having had experience in several dynamic fields, I find myself to be a diverse individual with various talents. With a degree in Anthropology from the University of Colorado (having completed courses in Chemistry, Biology, and Statistics), I find myself capable to deliver success to others looking for solutions in many different fields, especially mathematics. I spent 300 hours serving and educating inner-city youth in Pennsylvania, assisting with homework as well as educating them on appropriate conduct to excel in life.
Given my bachelor’s degree in the study of man, I find myself constantly driven to better myself and the lives of others. Education does not occur just in the classroom or through study halls; education is not limited by any means or measure. My aim is to give children the tools they need to achieve any and every goal they have, especially those in their succe ... read more

As the graduate of a difficult field of science, I spent a great deal of time studying and developing better methods for studying. I have become very knowledgeable in science and applied science through my degree field. I have also spent much time reading and writing scientific articles, which has made me proficient in English, general literacy, and writing. Throughout my college career, I have been tutoring and leading study sessions in science.
I think that learning is subjective. Every person will have the opportunity to learn if they have an instructor that can meet their needs. I work well with children, young adults, and adults. I am patient and attentive. I believe that asking questions is the best way to find and address gaps in understanding and facilitate teaching the appropriate material.

I am a graduate of Law School, but my first love and continued passion is education. I have vast life experiences as well as experiences in education that were both diverse and enriching. My English background has provided me with a great content-area knowledge; while my law background has taught me an analytical side to reading and writing.
My love is working with kids. My true gift is working with kids who have otherwise had problems in an academic setting.

I have been involved every year since 1975 in the work of an educator, mostly for pay, but occasionally as a volunteer, either community- or faith-based, in three states and two foreign countries. Leadership was usually demonstrated in teaching for proprietory institutions in curriculum development and in the processes of actual recruitment. In fifth-grade teaching of English language learners, my class for two semesters won the highest attendance record for 3rd-5th graders in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Each time I have taught a different age-level I have sought to accommodate myself to the learning style of that particular level, whether psychokinetic for kindergarten and preschool, audio-visual for lower elementary, or verbal-phonemic for upper-level students and adults. It was in the teaching of adults that I encountered my most challenging situations, and even to ... read more

More About This Tutor...

When I graduated college I found myself wanting to help others. I began doing this by counseling youth who had substance abuse issues. For a time I also worked with the youth at a homeless shelter. Helping them with homework, ESL studies, and math skills. The youth there were a variety of ages and backgrounds, so I had to adapt my style to their needs. My education allowed me to focus on child development and the various stages of cognitive development. This helped shape my ability to help a variety of age groups based on their level of understanding. By relating information in terms that were easy to understand for them, I have been successful in helping them learn new skills and ideas.
I enjoy teaching a great deal and working with all ages of children. However my favored age group is adolescents. I try as much as possible to appeal to as many learning styles as I can in ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I possess unique training and skill sets that enable me to reach and connect with diverse learners. I work to honor each learner’s distinctive needs, abilities, proclivities and style through establishing trust by way of kindness, patience and understanding. I trust in every child’s ability to connect with the material at hand given the right environment, support and encouragement. I understand that when a child feels safe, valued and met, engagement and learning follow. Being an avid learner myself, I bring enthusiasm and curiosity to every lesson and work to find and stir that curiosity in my students.
I’m deeply passionate about education and have taught for over 16 years a wide variety of students (ESL, Learning Challenged, Gifted, APA), 2nd – 12th grades and college courses in Critical Thinking, Creative and Multimedia Writing. I have a BA with honors in English, and hold an M ... read more
