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!

I have been teaching college (History, Philosophy, Ethics, writing, reading, social studies) since the early 1980's. I have taught in New York (LaGuardia Community College), Connectiuct (Three Rivers Community College), New Jersey (Mercer County Community College) and Pennsylvania (Bucks County and Montgomery County Community Colleges and ). I have also taught online (University of Phoenix, DeVry University and The Iowa Consortium of Community Colleges). I have tutored many college and high school students, as well as grammar school students. I have taught several test preparation classes and helped many students to raise their test scores.
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 incl ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 effectively express themselves, and help them find their own path to success.
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- ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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 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

More About This Tutor...

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 level. I lived with a host family which gave me the opportunity to become more involve with Spanish culture and their traditions. Upon returning from Spain, I finished my degree at SUNY Oswego with two semesters of student teaching.
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 produc ... read more

My greatest attribute is to assess the students learning style and teach them a new subject in their own language. I find that the learning rate is directly related to my ability to communicate with each student in a manner that they can understand.
I have extensive teaching experience from both private tutoring and teaching at the University of Pennsylvania. I have expert knowledge of all mathematics and sciences at the high school and college levels.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I am available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, outgoing, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.
I have earned two bachelor degrees, BS in Mathematics and BS in Chemistry, which have enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of theoretical and applied sciences. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last few years, I have tutored students in calculus, statistics, and organic chemistry.
