Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Glenn, GA

My teaching style is conversational and generally straightforward. I work through translators, so it is important to keep a positive presentation style to avoid misinterpretation and miscommunication. After each segment, I ask the students if they have any questions or concerns. The students are also invited to stop me at any time to ask me questions. I also like to provide visual demonstrations on a white board, which helps me to explain my point in further detail. I provide all my students with my Powerpoint presentation translated into the Bhutanese and Burmese language so that the students have a guide for future reference. My goal is to help the students to understand the U.S. banking system in general, and to overcome any fears or hesitations that they may have about opening a checking account. I teach them how to write a check, and keep a check register. So far, th

I have always enjoyed teaching at any level. One of my strengths is to recognize the personality of the student and contour my style to that particular personality. In a class room setting, I would focus on a student that I feel is shy and afraid to speak. I would gently get them involved with simple questions to build their confidence so that others in the same realm would understand and overcome the fear associated with participation and become involved with the existing interaction. As a Facilitator for Western/Delta Air Lines, I was sent to a Training Mapping class in Los Angeles, Ca. to master writing training materials based on the Fogg Index of the trainees. I have also been a Substitute Teacher in the Fayette County School system from 2003-2008 in various grade levels (kindergarden to High School. The subject levels that I have taught range from art, mathematics, English, Histor

For me, teaching began in my senior year of high school, where I would lead extensive calculus groups. After entering college, where I obtained a Batchelors degree in Applied Mathematics, I tutored pre-calculus and differential equations. I then began to tutor math to at-risk high school students. For a period of more than 2 years I taught computer-related subjects, particularly those that would enable students to obtain Microsoft certifications. Currently I teach and tutor all school mathematics subjects as well as SAT math. In my opinion my teaching would have to be considered unique. Usually I teach math in laymans terms and use analogie that students can relate to. Once the student understands the concepts I can then express the same ideas in the more rigorous mathematical terms. I also teach so that the student becomes active in his or her learning experience.

As an adjunct instructor, I have the responsibility to provide to students a curriculum that covers the course objectives as well as to utilize related technology to enhance learning. As a personal goal, I strive to incorporate higher-level learning using problem-solving techniques to assist students to connect their current studies with previous and/or future studies in the related disciplines. I facilitate individualized instruction to students who require additional assistance with their coursework. I have taught courses online and face to face in the following areas: Web Design, Graphics, Animation, Specialized Software Packages, Art History, Math and Spanish. The quality of education that I received has inspired me to give the same quality and better. Because my students bring a wealth of different knowledge and skills, I attempt to help them use that knowledge towards the to

My teaching style is somewhat unorthodox. I try to use as many styles as possible. I create activities and different opportunities for my students to learn so that they can achieve. I am a motivator and I try to relate real life experiences so that my students will see the benefits of education. My ultimate goal is to become a teacher who is effective at teaching to every type of learning style. Since choosing a career in education, I have been an enthused advocate, promoting opportunities for young people. I have gone as far as getting my Masters in Education Leadership. I also plan to get my PhD in the next couple of years. I have taken many workshops and trainings to become a more effective teacher.

As a son of an educator I have been around the education field since early childhood. I understand that one of the roles of a teacher is to motivate children to learn. Patience with children cannot be over emphasized in a learning environment. I find the keys to successful teaching are patience with consistency of standards and versatility in method of delivery. I have earned a BS in Business Management with extensive post graduate studies in the MBA field. I was a military officer. I have faciltated training in a professional environment, as well as college classes. My experience includes presentations on complex subject matters made simple, writing business programs/proposals, teaching computer software, and instruction on business procedures. I have taught college and business courses in group and one-to-one settings.

Being a father to a 13 year old son, and having close friends with school age children, I have been able to teach some of my ways of doing math in subjects from simple math to algebra to geometry. I believe that there are more ways than one to complete and understand a math problem, and that if done correctly and it is easier to learn and remember, then that may be the way that student better understands that procedure. As an accounting graduate and a college football player, I learned to have a good sense on how to study and hard work, both on and off the field. I had a great love for math throughout my schooling career and decided to go into accounting due to this. Even with a hectic schedule with football in college, I was still able to graduate exactly 2 weeks before 4 years with enough credits to be close to a finance degree as well. I took some graduate classes for my last seme

I believe that paitience, discipline, and focus on the part of the student and the teacher/tutor results in consistant success as a students attempts to learn and achieve. Although I do feel that conventional methods of teaching are still effective, I also believe that implementing audio visual aids, as well as hands on learning are also productive teaching methods. Supplemented with the reward merit system, I have found these approaches to be successful. Every student has the ability to learn if someone is willing help them. Moreover, I am a firm believer that positive reinforcement is an essential part of the learning process. Any student who has confidence that they can learn and achieve will learn and achieve.

The last five years have seen me working in research and development roles, but teaching math and science has always been a dream of mine and it is time for a career change. Having earned BS and MS degrees in materials engineering, my technical education as well as my career have provided almost daily practice of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. I want to not just teach students something, but also show them how and why it is relevant and useful. Aside from my technical background, I am also a semi-professional jazz guitarist of 20 years experience. I have played with many groups of various genres of music over the years, but jazz has been my primary passion since high school and I currently play with a jazz quintet named Style Points. As mentioned above, I want to demonstrate to students the real-world applications of scientific and mathematical principles. This will not only help t

For five years, I was professor of World Literature/English Composition at Clark Atlanta University. For two years, I taught Literature/Composition at North Atlanta High School. During this time, I developed a linguistically oriented method of teaching writing that allows students to appreciate and exploit the instructive correlations between the writing and reading processes. Equipped with such knowledge, students developed not only the skill, but also the confidence required for successful writing. I use a differentiated instructional approach that is designed around the student's particular needs. After assessing the students needs and setting targeted goals, I develop a (lesson) plan to meet those targets.
