Chess is one of my top subjects! I can teach students anywhere from beginner up to those starting serious tournament play.

I have been playing chess for close to seven years, many of those at the tournament level. I was a natural when I started, and have only grown in my concepts of the logic and theory of the game. I am also a published author, and can easily teach any student to understand writing in new ways so that they can improve not only the accuracy but the style of their writing.
I prefer to work with students one on one, getting a sense of their skill level, and then engaging with them where they are at to help them work towards their own personal goals.

What a better way to teach your teen than by a teen?

I graduated high school in late October of 2012. I am not currently in college. I am working twords bettering my future. I enjoy helping others and I find it easy. I used to be tutored and I hated it because the tutors seemed to not care if I got it. I make sure the person or people I am tutoring understand and remember how to do what I am asked to teach them. In high school my teachers used to send me to other classes and tutor kids in the middle of class. I am extremely flexable and can help just about anyone I try to teach. I will not say every because no one is perfect and I'm not going to pretend I am.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have enjoyed each experience I have had with teaching, beginning with an informal position as a study group leader in the Genetics course I completed at Penn State University. While working on my MS at the University of Tennessee, I taught lecture and outdoor laboratory sessions for the Ornithology course, which included about 30 students. As the coordinator of the Conservation Science Internship Program at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, I am responsible for much of the training of 5-11 interns at one time. The Sanctuary hosts interns from all over the world including 26 interns (age range: 17-42) from 24 countries in my time as coordinator. I also teach two 1-credit courses per year as an instructor with Cedar Crest College in Allentown, PA.
My teaching style changes with my perception of a student's needs. My goal is to show students the path by which they can come to answers themsel ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I believe the first key to learning is enthusiasm. I like to offer real world applications and display my own enthusiasm to instill a positive attitude towards learning in each child. After that foundation is established, I feel it's necessary to tailor my instruction to each individual student. It's well understood that each of us learn differently. My tutoring experience taught me that patience is vital. It is well worth it to see their joy in working through a problem entirely independently. I also stress the understanding of the concept being studied so that students know why they're doing what they're doing, can solve a larger variety of related problems, and carry that knowledge into their future education.
While attaining a BS in Mathematics at Penn State University, I was heavily involved in peer tutoring. For two semesters I spent 10-20 hours per week working one-on-one wi ... read more

I have trained students in a laboratory, restaurant and in the home. I graduated from college with honors and have succeeded in statistics, algebra 2, calculus 1, biology 1, chemistry 1, English literature, professional writing, civics, sketching/painting and classical guitar
It's imperative to listen and understand a students challenges. Reviewing their previous work and giving a current test is a good indicator of the situation. I believe in practice and examples as the clearest path to success. I don't hand deliver answers and I make the process towards answers engaging. I make sure the time and place are conducive to active and non-distractive learning. I relay the importance and relevance of the material. I recap previous lessons and try to integrate them into current assignments. I always value and respect people and expect the same of my students.

There I taught beginner guitar, chorus, piano and coached the drama club. This past summer I taught remedial reading during the summer school session at Hamburg. I have tutoring experience in Reading, Math, and elementary science. As a college student, I worked as a tutor. I taught music theory, sight singing, elementary science, math, and reading.

I have worked as a helping professional for most of the thirty-plus years since I graduated from Haverford College. A significant portion of my employment experience has involved service to school-age children in their role as students. I currently work as a cognitive rehabilitation therapist with people who have survived traumatic brain injuries. I try to help these individuals develop strategies to meet post-injury challenges, especially those related to memory, judgment, organization and time management. I have also coached elementary and junior high girls’ and boys’ basketball teams on a volunteer basis for many years.
Any subject can be difficult to master. Each of us brings something different to learning. A tutor may enjoy spectacular success in the short term by applying behavior management principles. I believe that a student’s long- term interests are best s ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an active member of Mensa International and someone who's consistently done well in number-related fields, I've come to love teaching what I can understand. I perceive the world in a very unique way and I excel at using my perspective to help my students understand what others typically have difficulty imparting to them. I aim to one day be a professor and I love to inspire learning in and out of the classroom.
As an undergraduate at UConn, I pursued a number of fields from computer science to communications and philosophy, giving me a wide range of experience in a multitude of subject areas. In my senior year, I became a substitute teacher for grades 7-12 in all subjects. I am currently a graduate student in criminal justice, writing papers and doing research almost continuously.

More About This Tutor...

I love talking to students. I endeavor to let each student know that I care and am willing to go the extra mile to help he, or she, "get it"! I want to "connect". I have a terrific sense of humor, and try to keep my students smiling. I think we learn more, through laughter. I try to keep everyone relaxed. I try to keep everything real. (I've realized that we learn, more easily, when we can apply what we are learning, to our every day lives.) I encourage questions. I want my students to realize that when they are with me, in the classroom, they are safe, i.e., it is OKAY to make mistakes! It's encouraged! How can we learn, if we don't "open up"? I won't give up -- on any student.
I have been writing for 30 years; I have been published over 200 times, in approximately 106 periodicals. In 2008, samples of my earliest writings, as well as recent-front page articles, fro ... read more
