Matthew P. - Worcester, MA 01602 (32.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I am currently employed as a technical advisor for Charter Communications for video and Internet. I originally was a math major and a math and history honor student at the University of Houston in the early 70's. I left school to start a family bakery in Vermont followed by award winning bakeries in Northern California and Utah. After retiring from baking, I completed my education at Vermont Tech with a degree in Information Technology. I enjoy passing on my skills and knowledge to others. I have trained many apprentices in baking as a professional and conducted many classes. Every day I am teaching customers how to use their television equipment and their computers correctly. I am very patient and enjoy the rewards of successfully passing on my knowledge to others. Friends call me regularly from all over the country for advise on their computers, video devices and random trivia question

Randolph S - Eastford, CT 06242 (8.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I was more of an instructor than a teacher. I was a day camp counselor at Solway House parent/child resort in Saugerties N.Y. I instructed kids how to swim, dive, play various sports and gave dancing lessons to the guests. As a high school student I tutored 7th and 8th graders in an after school community center. I was one of a few staff at the University of Connecticut to instruct graduates and staff in the use of the various electronic facilites available to them. I feel children are very self-aware and are very vulnerable to positive and negative feedback. Therefore, no matter how little progress is made, praise them. If no progerss is made or if an issue needs to re-addressed, praise them..."That was great, but let's try it this way!" I feel that you are positive, smiling, and they believe that you believe in them, 9 out of 10 kids will follow you!

neil r - woodstock, CT 06282 (9.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $47.50/hr.
I am easy going, energetic, very passionate (especially when teaching calculus and physics), and engaging. In most cases it takes only a few sessions and students are having fun. I believe that most students can understand mathematics with a proper explanation. For example, the order of operations is usually presented to students without explanation for its existence. This gives the false sense that it is an arbitrary rule. I enjoy sharing my understanding to students, but I also enjoy providing a role model for my students. If I show compassion to a students it is almost always reciprocated. Academic excellence is a virtue but so is being a kind and caring person. I like to spread this through my teaching style. I graduated from the UConn with a B.S. in physics and a minor in mathematics. Because I have used calculus and linear algebra on a daily basis as a means of solving prob

Ryan G - Storrs, CT 06268 (10.6 mi) - Chess Tutor - $41.50/hr.
In my four years as a professional tutor at the University of Evansville writing center, I focused on improving all aspects of a well-written essay, including the researching process. I have a vast knowledge of the MLS, APA, and AP styles and have honed my grammar skills during my three years as a sports editor.
Moreover, I have gained experience tutoring a wide variety of students by volunteering as an English as a Second Language tutor for three years and participating in the Just Read and Junior Achievement programs. Learning is a team effort. I believe my experience as a Division I cross country runner has endowed me with a team mentality I use each time I tutor a student. Establishing a team setting reassures those I tutor that we will work together to achieve every goal we set. Because I have tutored students of all ages, I can easily identify what must be taught and how t

Lucian S - Coventry, CT 06238 (11.7 mi) - Chess Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I developed a patient style of simply allowing a student to set his own pace yet make sure he lives up to his own promises. Making lasting commetments allowes the student to take controle of his own improvement, yet allows me to see what he need direction in. In showing the student alternative practices, he will see the benifit in changing his ways for the better. I am seeking a degree in Finance and Actuarial Sciences from the University of Connecticut. I achived a high level of proficiency in math from a very young age and finish Advanced Calc 3 and a half years ago. I have tutored a student for his entire second year of high school in all subjects with noticable GPA improvements.

Dawn I - Norwich, CT 06360 (14.7 mi) - Chess Tutor - $41.00/hr.
I consider my style to be firm but loving. Children know what to expect from me because I'm consistent. I have high expectations of students and they have never yet disappointed me. My teaching hero was Jaime Escalante who taught poor, struggling, barrio students in Los Angeles college level mathematics in the 1980s. One of his beliefs that resonated strongly with me was "Students will rise to the level of expectation." I am passionate about teaching and in the process, inspiring children to reach for their dreams. I have worked with children most of my life and have many years of experience with them, including independently tutoring two elementary students in the early 1990s. I spent two years as a substitute teacher for primarily Groton Public Schools but also Norwich and Waterford Public Schools. I am very good at teaching the foundational basics that an elementary student mus

Brian C - Dudley, MA 01571 (18.3 mi) - Chess Tutor - $56.00/hr.
I first began tutoring under the direction of Nancy Donohue-Berthiaume at Quinsigamond College. I turored in Introductory Accounting, basic and college level mathematics. In my Sophmore symester, I was presented with a challenge. A young man who was both Dislexic, and Mathlexic was failing basic mathematics. In less then 1/2 hour, I was able to help him go from failing grades to straight A's. Later, I tutored fellow students in Pre-Calculus while taking the course myself. I ended up with a 4.0 GPA in that class. Later, I was provisionally certified to teach in 7th & 8th grade english and mathematics and in recent years I have felt more and more, because of my desire to help other's I would like to persue tutoring if possible. I really enjoy tutoring students one on one better than teaching in the classroom, because of the one on one contact, because I have found it helps take the pressur

Richard P - East Hampton, CT 06424 (22.9 mi) - Chess Tutor - $44.00/hr.
I personally can say that I have learned the most & can recall the most from those teachers that I consider my favorites. I believe it is because they knew how to inspire and motivate me to achieve what I thought I couldn’t or didn’t want to do. Those early experience is the inspiration behind the way I teach/tutor and write. I once heard it stated that ‘no one cares how much you know until they know how much you care’. I truly believe that you have to have a genuine interest in the individuals you are trying to inspire in order to make learning a possibility, especially in young children & adolescents. I also believe that in order to make a difference & be a positive influence; you really have to enjoy & have a passion for what you do "I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back" Maya Angelou. I’v

Math is fun. Teaching math is more fun. I love playing with numbers and helping children also play with numbers and solve problems in the most easiest manner. I really wonder why does the clock move fast when I am in a math class. I have been in a school environment as my favorite pass time was to spend with children. Math is my favorite course. I helped students achieve good grip on calculations and solving problems. In Short- Teaching kids gives me peace and satisfaction in life.

Sheila P - North Providence, RI 02911 (28.5 mi) - Chess Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I love teaching and helping students to achieve their education goals. I like to make learning memorable and fun for my students and I encourage critical thinking, analyses, and problem solving over rote memorization. In addition, I recognize Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, and in order to ensure I reach all of the students I teach I use various vehicles of communication whether it be visually, kinesthetically, orally, and so forth. Having had the opportunity to attend Rhode Island College, I was able to learn the most current and effective tools for classroom teaching. I earned my BS in Elementary Education and have had much experience in the classroom teaching various subjects ranging from Science and Math to Social Studies and Reading. In addition I have also had the opportunity to teach overseas in China for a summer, where my students learned English and Communication

I have extensive training in teaching to various learning styles and am committed to student success. My experience is mainly in the private school sector with small class sizes.
