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

I have been playing chess since my childhood and I am good at it. During my college, I was a finalist in a chess tournament that was conducted on Hogwarts day. I played on the quad with students as chess pieces dressed in corresponding ones. I won all the qualifying games and lost against my Mathematics professor in championship. In my college, it is a glory for my friends to win against me. I play random and strategic. My random play is such that the opponent cannot predict my moves. If the opponent is playing with strategy, I deploy my defense strategy as well as offense. My favorite piece in chess is knight. Holding a Bachelors of Science degree in Mathematics and Economics, I have knowledge of both Mathematics and its application to Economics as well as other real world situations. I have advanced experience on tutoring high school students and college students in courses like PreCal

I have had the honor of working with many kids in regards to a variety of fields. My experiences taught me responsibility, patience, the importance of learning and education, and much more. The various teaching opportunities I have been fortunate to have have impacted my social and educational lives; I take what I learn from teaching and apply it to my own studies- having patience and upholding the responsibilities of being a student. My teaching style is a mixture of strict and lenient. I try to form a connection with students and apply that to my teaching method (i.e. incorporating a similar hobby in a question in order for the student to understand the material better). I expect my students to give me and the other students respect- never speaking while others are speaking, no disruptions, ect. This method of teaching has shown effective and a fun learning environment. I base my curri

Hi my name is Jordan Page, I currently work for an after school chess program called KidChess as a head coach. I've been teaching elementary school children for about three years and I love it. I currently have three students that I give private lessons too and I'm looking for more students to share my passion and love for the game of chess. I'm also a veteran tournament rated player achieving a rating of over 1800 and climbing.

I believe in helping students learn chess in a straight-forward manner. I teach the importance of chess strategy using the 5 most important chess principles. This teaches the student to learn how to think in chess, make great moves, figure out what the opponent is trying to do and prevent them from doing it. I teach how to come up with and execute a plan, openings, tactics, king safety, and much much more. I have been playing chess for 26 years and teaching chess for over 10 years now. I've played in several competitive tournaments and placed very well in most of them including 1st place in the Magic City Classic Reserve Section and I placed 2nd in the 41st Annual World open 1400 section. I also have a lot of experience teaching people from beginner level all the way up to strong tournament players. I know of all the best chess training materials around and I use the best from all of it

I'm an experienced chess player that has been teaching children chess for about a year now. I work part time for Kid Chess, a company that provides chess lessons to Elementary Schools across Georgia. With them I have prepared many lessons for groups and have given individual instruction to children too. My experience with Kid Chess has taught me how to instruct children in the basics of the game, and my time there has shown me how to give lessons to more experienced students too. Although I mainly teach children, I am more than comfortable teaching adults and teenagers too. Anyone who whises to learn chess from zero, or any beginner who wants to improve is welcome.

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

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. I try to help the student to realize that math is not as difficult as it is made out to be. Over the course of my tutoring career I have employed a strategy of helping the student to understand more of the mechanics of mathematics and depend less on shortcuts that do not foster learning or, even worse, do not work. I would say that I have a great deal of patience and understanding. I realize that it is very unlikely that students will grasp the new concepts immediately, let alone several new concepts, and so repetition occurs often. Althoug

My teaching style is simple, whatever it takes! Working in the school system has given me the opportunity to work with all types of learners. Some students do well with a quick learning session, others work at a slower pace. I believe that teachers should work in conjunction with parents to tap into the nature of their childs learning habits and then utilize this information to make a comprehensive plan of action. Over the past ten years I have gained experience in education. As a high school student I volunteered to work at a couple schools. Shortly thereafter I began working as an after school tutor. I've worked in summer camps and currently work as a substitute teacher.

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, History, and Science. My repore with the younger generation is my forte. 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 wit

I have five years of experience in teaching, childcare, mentoring and community service. My bachelor's degree in History from the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign indicates my highly developed verbal and writing skills. In addition, on a recent verbal teacher's exam, I achieved a score of 750/800. I plan to attend a Master's program in Middle-Secondary Education this year. As the oldest child of a family with seven, I have an intuitive understanding of child psychology and motivation. I have a sincere love for children, and I am pursuing a career as a teacher. The children I have worked with who have learning challenges have been the most influenced by my positive reinforcement. I focus the most attention on changing the way they think about learning, and keeping our approach simple. I practice the material with them as much as needed, reward progress and constantly rem

As mentioned above, I want to demonstrate to students the real-world applications of scientific and mathematical principles. This will not only help them learn and master the material, but also to understand and appreciate its relevance and usefulness. I also would love to teach guitar to learners from beginner to 10 years of experience. Will teach any style of music, except classical and flamenco guitar are not my specialties. 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

A commercial banker by trade, I currently teach two (2) classes on financial literacy skills to legal immigrant refugees from India, Burma, and Cuba. This volunteer work is offered through the Catholic Charities arm of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. I started teaching these classes roughly six (6) months ago on a volunteer basis, and the classes have been very well received thus far. The first class is entitled "Introduction to Banking", and teaches the fundamentals of personal banking (how to open a checking account, how to write a check, etc.). The second class is focused on family budget planning. Each class is roughly 1.5 - 2 hours in length, depending on the number of questions asked by the students. In addition to the above, I have tutored a foreign immigrant from Turkey in pre-calculus and college-level English. I tutored this student on a volunteer basis for roughly two

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. 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.
