Sam p. - Knoxville, TN 37919 (28.3 mi) - Chess Tutor - $35.00/hr.
My style of teaching has a practical approach. I focus on what the student wants to get out of our time together and their goals. I have both a Bachelors and Masters degree in Accounting. After receiving my masters in 2005, I went on to work in public accounting for 5 years where I gained experience as an auditor working for a Big 4 CPA firm. Part of my job responsibilities were to develop and coach new staff while on the job. This requires teaching them how to apply their accounting knowledge learned school as well as teaching them accounting principals that were both new or forgotten. During that time is when I discovered that I loved to teach, and I have been tutoring privately ever since. My work experience also includes working as a tax consultant and a business analyst for two different private companies here in Knoxville. That said, I am confident that my background and experience

Stephen L. - Knoxville, TN 37923 (31.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $20.00/hr.
Currently, I am a student attending the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. At UT, I am majoring in Microbiology and maintaining a 3.18 GPA. During my education, I have had great opportunities to study the sciences and mathematics; however, history and philosophy are fun to study as well.
In my studies of science, I have studied through all introductory biology and chemistry classes including both sections of organic chemistry. My mathematic studies have taken me from Algebra to Differential Equations and Calculus 3 (Multi-Variable).
I enjoy interacting with students of all ages and levels in a variety subject matter. Generally, I am easy going and can schedule easily unless it interferes with a work shift or school class. Thank you for reviewing this statement and I look forward to the opportunity to tutor you!

Robert P - Knoxville, TN 37917 (22.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I'm a very laid back casual sort of fellow that likes to make someone think about how to solve problems efficiently. I won't just blurt out an answer to a question hoping they pick up, hands on working through a problem is the best way I've found to solve computer problems. Teaching the student "where" to look to find answers is big help too, there is reference material out on the web for ANY business related task you can think of. I have 20+ years of real world business IT experience. Most of that was programming on IBM iSeries/AS400 mini computers in RPG or COBOL. The last 6 or 7 years has been devoted to learning HTML & PHP in my spare time. The languages aren't important, what is key is learning to break complex tasks down into smaller chunks and think logically about how to link all these smaller tasks into a program to accomplish the overall goal.

Timothy M - Walland, TN 37886 (24.5 mi) - Chess Tutor - $57.50/hr.
My teaching style is informal and friendly. I have numerous years as an AWANA teacher of children at church in addition to one year experience as a professional chemistry teacher. A prior supervisor of my teaching style said "a natural teacher that immediately puts the students at ease". My experience starts as a chemist in the nuclear industry, then proceeding to an environmental professional in the manufacturing industry, and finally as an adjunct professor of law for a distance education university. I have worked primarily in the utility industry, with short periods of employment in the aluminum industry and semiconductor industry.

Cathy K - Knoxville, TN 37912 (26.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $34.50/hr.
My backgrounds in special education (BS), adult GED preparation, and nursing (AAS - RN) have helped me develop into a patient, skilled, and compassionate teacher/tutor. I have a strong instructional foundation in basic math, pre-algebra, basic geometry, nursing math, anatomy and physiology, essay writing, English usage, and learning disabilities. As a published author, I know the importance of careful proofreading and editing skills and am well able to apply this knowledge with my writing students. I love teaching, learning, and researching. Working with students gives me the greatest job satisfaction I've ever experienced. I love teaching both school-age students and adults. I believe the three most important qualities a teacher can bring to a student are expert skills in the areas being taught, patience, and optimism. I truly believe all students can learn, and I provide a safe atmosph

Robert C - Knoxville, TN 37921 (27.3 mi) - Chess Tutor - $56.00/hr.
Through experience and research, I have developed a tutoring style that has helped countless students achieve unmeasured success. My students usually respond very well to my standard explanation of the procedure for solving algebra equations, as well as other math concepts, such as logarithms, trigonometry, and derivatives. On occasions when my students do not quite understand my standard explanations, I will explain the concept in a different way until the student understands. I am also very good as devising mnemonic devices to remember various formulas and terms in classes such as Biology and Anatomy. I have been a full-time (and quite busy) professional tutor for the past five years. I currently work as an independent tutor through The Tutor Connection and Wyzant, as well as my personal tutoring service. While living in California in 2007, I was employed by the San Diego Board of

Phillip T - Louisville, TN 37777 (27.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I have a passion for math and love to make the subject come alive for children and adults alike. I am quite patient and sensitive to diverse educational and family backgrounds, so I often try to relate concepts to the student's own life and activities. I'm a visual and object-oriented learner, and I tend to illustrate concepts through drawing, using props, as well as using rhythm, rhyme and personification. I look at at-risk students as a happy challenge, to give them appreciation for and, yes, even love of their subject matter. I work with teachers and parents helping them to find unique and effective supplements to help their child succeed. Starting in high school, I began to tutor grade school and middle school students through an after-school honors program. I have worked with (primarily middle school) students in several volunteer programs through church youth ministries. I had rece

Dwight B - Maryville, TN 37803 (33.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $36.00/hr.
Since I earned my K-6 teaching license, I have worked with children in several different instructional/mentor/tutoring positions. I worked as a teaching assistant in Fifth Grade and First Grade. At the same time, I was also the Education Director for the local Boys and Girls Club. I have also subbed and worked as a tutor since March of 2009. I enjoy teaching and working with elementary aged children. I love those moments when, after much effort, the light of understanding dawns in a student's eyes. When it comes to how children acquire knowledge, I believe it is very important to help them build new knowledge based upon their prior knowledge and experiences. I am aware of the different ways that children learn and attempt to structure my approach in tutoring to match those learning style differences. Finally, I believe that building a positive relationship with both the pupil and his/

Jason Y - Leicester, NC 28748 (44 mi) - Chess Tutor - $39.00/hr.
My teaching style varies greatly depending on the needs of the student; however, I always try to meet the student first and then decide which approach will be the most effective. My philosophy of teaching revolves around the theory that a tutor or teacher's primary role is to support the student so that each problem can be solved by the student. It is also important to me to apply the subject at hand to the life of the student so that concepts hold meaning in an individuals life. I am patient and capable of working with students from all walks of life. I am a recent graduate with a Master of Science in Environmental Studies with a Conservation Biology concentration. This education has required that I become acquainted with a wide variety of subjects including mathematics and the natural sciences. This also entails having a high level of written and oral communication skills needed

Gary P - Asheville, NC 28806 (50 mi) - Chess Tutor - $34.50/hr.
Working as an assistant teacher in Davidson College encouraged me to pursue a career in educating children. I currently work at Eliada Homes helping teach at-risk children the skills required to lead a successful life. I focus on details and I guide the students to develop a general understanding of the topic or material studied. I often use humor to animate interest and participation among the students. I am dedicated to teaching others, confident in my abilities, and patient during times of stress. As a graduate in one of the top liberal arts colleges in the nation, I received an education that enhanced my skills as a writer, as a leader, and as a thinker. I worked as an assistant teacher for the Spanish department where I conducted speaking drills to improve the proficiency of Spanish for elementary level students.
