My comments on tutoring Chess : Introduction, Mastering the Pieces, Tactics, Opening Principals, Pawn Structure, Evaluation of Position, Endgame Evaluation.

"Chess lessons" are usually just that, chess lessons. I think that there are more dynamics to teaching chess than just moving the pieces. Most chess lessons for beginners, start with an introduction to chess. I teach this way too, but everything I am able to teach starts with respect. Every person should understand and accept that they will not always win. They must also accept that they may not always play their best. They must also respect their opponent. So often chess "coaches" forget about these key elements and life lessons. Tradition and culture are important to me and my style of teaching. With these few elements, learning is fun and the teaching is effective. Prime teaching focuses are: 1) Introduction to chess a) Learning the chess board b) Getting to know the pieces 2) Tactics a) Purposes of each piece b) Discovery 3) Strategy a) Opening Principals b) O ... read more

I have a holistic, eclectic style of Teaching. When I work with any student,or students, I always determine what proficient level they are at.If they are having any problems grasping the subject, I must do diagnostic testing to remediate at progress from that point forward. When the student has reached a level of proficiency,he or she may move on to whatever subect,or level that pertains to. Yes, each student is unique and can reach their full potential under the right guidance encouragement,and support. Yet, I firmly believe that all students must master the fundamentals, no matter what subject.
As a private school and state school graduate,I recieved a broad and varied background in higher education.I taught at two Catholic Schools.

Born as a Chinese national and I speak fluent Chinese Mandarin language and I studied Business in Accounting and graduated from SUNY Brockport in 1990 and my mathematical course I always get "A" on my grade (I even get 105 on my test score, believe it or not) and I still love math. Therefore I can tutoring not only business in Accounting and also Math or language in Chinese.
I enjoy teaching one on one more then in a group class setting and I do enjoy teaching individual more then in a group setting. I do wish to teach "Chinese" as a personal language when I retire in the future if we don't have SS since I am a baby boomer (hope this is not true)

A Little Bit About Me...

As a Research Scientist in Corporate America, I took the opportunity to focus on enhancing the math and science education of high, middle, and elementary school students. In addition to hands-on classroom activities, I was involved in the Program In Rochester to Interest Students in Science and Math (PRISSM), judged Science Fairs and Science Competitions. Because of my goal of enhancing student achievement, I have taught Chemistry at the Junior College level for the past eight years. I love the appreciation of English Literature and English Grammar as well and so, upon retirement, have taught French and Latin to students in middle school and high school.
The word student comes from the Latin to be eager, and I love to instill the love of learning, n eagerness to learn, in children. The education or drawing out of a child's mind is the ultimate goal, and doing so in a discipline ... read more

I love working with people and teaching them about the things that I am passionate about. I am very patient and throughout and I have learned a lot of valuable techniques such as asking the right questions to confirm that the student has learned the lesson as well as planning out what the important points are that I need to cover. I also try to illustrate points using a variety of learning styles that over time I can customize to individual students.
Between my studies at Roberts Wesleyan College in the liberal arts field, where I earned a bachelors degree, and my studies in math and computational science I have an exceptionally broad knowledge base. My work experience further illustrates this having worked briefly as an English teacher in Prague as well as the various sales and customer service jobs I have had including Verizon Wireless, Wegmans, and Radio Shack.

Given my knowledge of mathematics, I love teaching it and working with students, so they too can be experts and appreciate its value in their future endeavors. I am able to work with students at a pace that fits their needs. I understand that not all students learn at the same level, and so creating an appropriately stimulating environment for utmost grasping or concentration is very critical to success in teaching mathematics. Not only am I open-minded to other options that help impact the mathematics concepts but I am also patient, and considerate of each student’s level of mathematics with respect to a given topic. I give examples that help students discover and find it even more interesting to learn mathematics. My goal is to give each and every student I am assigned the guarantee that at the end of the tutoring period, they actually succeed in mathematics.

Throughout my academic career, I have been motivated to achieve at a high level, regardless of the discipline I was studying. This motivation has allowed me to obtain two bachelor degrees, a BS in Business Administration and a BA in Psychology. My specialization in two distinct areas has allowed me to adapt to a variety of research and writing methods. Starting at an early age, I was able to gain experience teaching skills to others as a member of the Boy Scouts of America and eventually achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. I have also mentored adolescents in a variety of areas while working as a youth counselor.
I have always aspired to adapt my teaching techniques to each student on an individual basis. I have been successful in doing so by utilizing a vast array of methodologies to instruct and provide examples which are relevant to each unique student. I believe there is no ... read more

Though teaching is not my profession, I have taught as guest lecturer in college level investment classes, as well as tutored one-on-one basic English reading to those unable to for LVA in the 90s. I have a BS in Accounting and a MBA in Finance. I have been working in the areas of Investment/Finance. I have improved my own ability to write effectively from the reading of poetry. In a written venue such as that, every word, space, and symbol has a purpose and meaning.
I believe it is easier for a student to learn when the topic being studied is of interest to that student. Thus, it is important to relate each topic to those things that the student most easily relates to.

I have been teaching for 21 years now (wow, that's gone by fast!) and I love every second of what I do. I have also been a tutor in the district for the past 9 years, tutoring every subject possible--math, English, Social Studies, etc. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to get to know students who don't take French and also I love to teach other subjects outside my own area. Teaching is the best job there is--I get such a great energy from my students every day! I rarely miss a day of school, and I look forward to going in to work every morning. Everyone should be so lucky to have a job they absolutely love!
My teaching style.... depends on the day, depends on the students, depends on the topic. One minute I can be dancing around the room and the next we're having a more serious discussion. My expectations are very high and I always push my students to do "just a bit bet ... read more

As a literacy volunteer I was awakened to a deep desire to achieve my degree in a career in the helping profession. This profession opened doors for a career change in education. I embraced the challenges of a teacher/professor for students ranging from kindergarten to senior citizens, both in the class room setting and one-on-one tutoring in the home settings and community programs. Teaching continues to be the common thread that binds my life experiences with the core person I continue to grow into.
I love working with people of all ages and from a verity of cultures in an educational setting. I firmly believe that every person can learn but that each person has a dominate and secondary learning style of their own. In order to enhance learning for the student, I enjoy the challenge of developing and implementing lesson plans to match the students learning style. My teaching ... read more

My underlying belief and philosophy is that all students can learn, and should be allowed to do so in the environment that best suits their own particular learning style. I have a vast knowledge of teaching and learning, and a strong sense of what good teaching looks like. I have developed my own easy going, student centered, and hands-on approach to teaching, and design lessons that answer the inevitable question from students, “When am I ever going to use this stuff?” This simple question drives me as I plan and carry out these lessons, and allows students to actually use what they are learning in the context of real life situations and settings.
In my 23 years as a teacher and administrator, I have been involved in all aspects and levels of education including teaching all grades K-12, instructional and curriculum leadership, professional development, building management, comm ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a mechanical engineering graduate with 3 years of practical experience in the field, I am constantly curious of the world around me and take great delight in sharing and imparting that knowledge in others. The degree itself grounds me firmly in the math and science worlds - everything from basic skill sets in geometry and HS science to advanced level calculus and physics. Growing up with an English/ESL teacher for a mother and participating in various speaking competitions gives me a good background in English and language arts, both oral and written. I have tutored both as a volunteer and as a paid employee for various offices on the Rochester Institute of Technology campus as well as several programs in New Mexico, this along with growing up with a teacher gives me a good background in teaching skills and tactics.
I tend to work well with individuals and small groups, indepen ... read more
