My comments on tutoring Chess : I have been a chess player since age 7 - I am rated at 1850. I love to play and teach the game!

In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that includes such issues as time management, test taking, study habits, and, sometimes, acculturation. My teaching methodology follows these simple steps: Step 1: Motivation Step 2: Definition & Understanding of terms Step 3: Explanation, exploration, discussion, debate Step 4: Questions & Answers Step 5: Practice: Time & Effort Step 6: Demonstration (or proof) I absolutely believe that motivation is required for learning. I have found that students become more motivated to learn when they understand how they will profit from the experience. I teach ‘communication’ all the time, regardless of the subject matter. Throughout the course of ... read more

I have become very involved in youth development and academic success. I also am a motivational speaker for high schools and colleges. I believe that any student can achieve their dreams and goals. One bad habit that I share with people is that I am stubborn and this describes the desire to never give up. I want students not only to succeed academically, but also in life. I will do everything in my power to provide students everything that will help them reach their desires and goals. I have substitute taught theatre and history classes. I am an extremely creative person and will always offer a new way to look at a problem or situation.
As a high school student and college graduate, I have lived through the education process and hope to share that experience with students. I hold a Bachelors of Arts in History and a minor in Women`s Studies. I graduated from Wilkes University which ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a successful graduate of Susquehanna University, having earned a BA in International Studies. This study of cultural anthropology allowed me ample experience with writing, grammar, and research. I will be attending Rutgers University next year to earn a Master of Science degree in Microbiology. I am very experienced in the subjects of Biology, Chemistry, and Math on all levels. In addition to my devotion to the sciences, I have maintained an advanced-conversational level of fluency in French and an ability in the creative arts through coursework at the collegiate level and would be able to teach those as well.
As a student who has dabbled in so many areas, it is easy for me to assess when a teacher/professor is not explaining a concept in a method that helps the students. I have previous experience tutoring, but my teaching talent comes from my role as the unofficial tutor for ... read more

The thinking and learning processes were always intriguing to me. I am very inquisitive and cannot stop until I understand how things tick. However, patience and comprehension are certainly big parts of me as a person. This is why tutoring is a very fulfilling experience. Being part of how young and/or elder people improve not only their analytical and cognitive skills, but also their self esteem is so satisfying. The latter, is most likely what will help them to face and deal with future academic, and personal problems. Besides, tutoring not only helps people individually, but eventually, it helps to improve society as a whole.
As my parents always told me, I believe that education is a transcendent part of everybody's lives. I have earned a BS in Biochemical Engineering, and almost a BS in Apply Mathematics, at Rutgers University. Since I was in my native country I had a very cle ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have a wealth of experience both teaching and tutoring. Since 2005, I have been an adjunct instructor of writing, English composition, and journalism at Burlington County College. Earlier I spent a year in Poland and Greece respectively teaching English as a foreign language to both teenagers and adults. While earning my bachelors in English literature I was also an English and writing skills tutor at Stockton College's Writing Center. I am also a professional and award-winning journalist, formerly a staff writing for the Princeton Packet.
The role of an instructor is provide some structure in class, but allow students enough flexibility in order to accommodate a number of different learning styles. There is usually more than one way to solve a problem, especially in rhetoric, composition and literature. My goal is to provide students with the tools necessary to effecti ... read more

I have a very unique teaching style in that I like to incorporate many different presentation methods and I am a firm believer of teaching to multiple intelligences. No two students learn the same way and if the student is not learning the teacher is just as responsible as the student. This being said I have used many different teaching methods from having the students performing, and singing to setting up shops to buy and sell products. If one method did not reach some of the students, I would go out of my way to create a lesson that involved these particular students. Multiple intelligences are ever so important because every student learns in a different.
I have a range of experiences which help make me a superior candidate to tutor. I have lived and studied in Barcelona, Spain. During this experience I learned a lot about Spanish culture and brought my Spanish to a mastery leve ... read more

I am to begin my second graduate studies in Environmental Science and Policy at the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), Columbia University, New York City on June 1, 2010. I have earned two additional degrees: a bachelor degree in Civil Engineering and a master’s degree in Project Management. The degree in civil engineering has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, the degree in project management has also helped me learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing term papers, memos, and project reports in many various areas of my study. I have strong analytical and communication skills that make me a great teacher.

As a fourth generation college graduate, I was driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education to continue my family tradition of graduating with honors. I have earned a 5 year B. Arch from Pratt Institute. Tutoring found me in college, when my fellow students asked me to tutor them in structural courses. My classmates did not have an adequate structural foundation, whereas I had graduated from a very rigorous high school with advanced studies in math and physics. My students often told me that I have a gift for demystifying complex ideas. My study group proved so successful that Pratt offered me a tutoring position. I have taught and tutored math and science-related courses for graduate and undergraduate students ever since. I worked significant amount with Adobe photoshop, and I can tutor Photoshop.
In my 10 years of tutoring experience, I worked with more than 100 stu ... read more

I love learning while teaching. That is, the discovery process of finding out what motivates individual students to achieve, finding methods to feed positive energy to the classroom dynamics, learning what makes students feel good about reaching for a higher level of thought; these are the things that excite me when teaching. In my high school teaching, I used an interdisciplinary approach to mathematics -- e.g. mixing history, spelling, real-life examples, web research, etc. I also try to make it fun and challenging at the same time -- speed drills to improve arithmetic, fractions skills, recall of important math rules, math Jeopardy. The important thing to remember is that the differences among students requires an individual assessment and approach at any level for success.
Upon graduation from NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematics, I taught for one year as an Adjunct Lecturer ... read more

Anyone can learn a language. I believe that each student learns differently. It is imporant to find out what the style is and create lessons accordingly. In learning a new language, I feel it is most important visual, audio and writing tools into every lesson. I am easy-going, patient, fun-loving, yet stern. These are very important and necessary qualities for a teacher to have. I strive for my students to feel the same passion I feel for languages.
Since high school, I have had the opportunity to share my passion with others intermittantly, sometimes through formal tutoring sessions and sometimes in a more laidback environment. Although my work experience is in a business-like environment, I have learned the tools to communicate clearly and effectively with a variety of personalities. The extensive essays and research papers I have written in Italian have developed my gramm ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a currently in the process of obtaining my bachelors of science degree in biology. I have been teaching science since I was in high school and I still carry the passion within me to teach. I will get my college degree in December 2009 and then I will be off to medical school to achieve my long life goal of becoming a general physician. I have tutored students in every subject from microeconomics to statistical biology. I have excelled in my sciences with grades no lower that A-.
I have been teaching students for many years and I know I will be perfect in tutoring any kind of student. I love teaching and learning new things in life and I can definitely share my knowledge with students to enhance their academic mindsets.
