Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Oldsmar, FL

I know the basic moves and strategies. I am an honors graduate of U.S.F. with forty years of teaching experience. In addition to my B.A. and M.A. degrees, I completed all cousework for the ED.D. I have taught FCAT preperation in middle school in math and reading. I have also taught GED Prep in the evenings. I taught junior high math one year. I have also written two books. One is a history jokebook. The other is a memoir of humorous classroom incidents. I believe that these experiences qualify me to tutor social studies, reading, and math. My style is student centered. I always try to provide a positive atmosphere for learning. My jokes were a technique to help accomplish that goal. As a GED teacher I always began with a pretest and documented student progress to correct any deficiencies. I believe in positive reinforcement and helping students achieve their goals which gives us both a s

Once while subbing, I entered a classroom where the students had been allowed to watch Jerry Springer on TV for the last two weeks. I couldn't let this continue, but I saw how emotional the class was about the show. I encouraged them to write their own talk show and told them we would perform it the next day. I find that connecting student's interest with the subject matter to be learned is the best way to teach. After completing my undergraduate degree in English Literature at Florida State University, I worked as a substitute teacher in Hillsborough County for two years. In 2009, I completed my Master's Degree in Communication at University of South Florida while simultaneously employed at the Department of Special Education. I have been tutoring with Advanced Learners for 1 year and am currently an Adjunct Instructor of Public Speaking at HCC Dale Mabry.

I have always enjoyed teaching others. My students consistently comment on my patience and good humor. In the end though, I believe that eveyone teaches themselves. My job as a teacher is to act as a good guide for a student's learning journey, pointing out the way, helping them to avoid pitfalls, providing encouragement, and good company along the way. I have always valued education, and enjoy helping others to learn. I am an Illinois State and National Merit Scholar. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Maryland with a major in mathematics and education in 1991. I am a former certified secondary mathematics instructor and taught for Baltimore County Schools.

I have worked with and helped children of all age levels and abilities. I work patiently with each student, and I feel a sense of reward when I am able to successfully help the child understand the homework, or lesson. I love working with children, and I feel an overwhelming sense of accomplishment when I make a difference in a child's life. I graduated from Peace College, which is an all Women's Liberal Arts College in NC. My degree in Liberal Studies has given me a diverse background in all subject areas. I further received the National English Merit Award and was inducted into the Spanish Honor Society. I have taught Environmental Science to children, and I have taught children at Sea World.

In 2005, I graduated from Clearwater Christian College with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education (K-6) as well as an ESOL endorsement. I have three years of full time teaching experience, teaching both first and third grades, as well as one full year of substitute teaching. Last year, I decided to enter the Pinellas county public school system looking for a full time teaching position. However, due to job shortages, I began substituting while I continued looking for a full time position. Looking back, I value my time as a substitute teacher because it has given me an enriched experience in a variety of classroom settings. For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a teacher. If you were to ask me to describe myself using three words, I would say that I am caring, compassionate, and committed. John Lubbock once said, "If we succeed in giving the love of learning,

I have two main goals when I teach or tutor. One is to meet the student where they are. I seek to meet their learning style, background, and ability in the subject. Secondly, I try to make the the subject as interesting as possible. I present it in an interesting and fun manner, such as using analogies, references, and real life application when possible. I am also very patient with slower learners and able to meet the fast-paced demands of a gifted student. I enjoy getting to know the student and helping them succeed at every level. Throughout my life I have been an avid learner. I have explored many subjects in mathematic, science, literature, art, and history through my education as a homeschool student, dual-enrollment at SPC, and my academic career at the University of Florida. However, I do not keep this knowledge to myself; it is one of my great joys to share and teach others what

My teaching style consists of high energy and a positive attitude. I am a firm believer that positive energy is contageous and as such brings a high level of enthusiasm to my classroom. I am not afraid to "have fun" with my students as long as they are fully aware of what is expected from them. I run a routine-oriented classroom packed with visual cues, sensory stimulating activities, and an attitude that each of my students will succeed to their maximum potential. I also do my best to ensure that my students know they are well cared-for and safe and that it is ok to have fun while we learn. Directly after graduating from Purdue University, I accepted a position as a teacher of 5 high school students participating in a voluntary community based vocational instruction program. I was also the teacher for 9 PreK students ID'd as having speech delays and was in charge of teaching them begin

My approach is adapted to the needs of the student. People learn in many different ways. I encourage the student to communicate freely with me. A relaxed and comfortable student will assimilate information readily and I will be able to communicate effectively. My goal is to equip a student with the confidence and ability to approach any subject. The common regurgitation of memorized information has little bearing on the applicable understanding of the subject. I performed group literacy tutoring and one-on-one math & literacy tutoring for children ages 5-13 at The Learning Center. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering from USF. I currently work as a design engineer for Pall Aeropower. I currently tutor my 3 children (ages 10,9,4) and some neighborhood children in all math & science related subject. I consistently tutored my fellow students during my years in college in subjects such as

Teaching has been a part of my life as long as I can remember. I started out with tutoring my little brothers and neighbors kids, then continued through college mainly tutoring peers. I have earned a bachelor degree in Civil Engineering with strong Mathemactics knowledge. While pursuing my PhD in Engineering, I taught Math as a Teaching Assistant. I can teach middle school Science (Earth Science, Chemistry, Physics etc) as I have sound knowledge in these areas as well. I have been judge at the student Science fair in State of Illinois for 4 years. I have tutored students in Mathematics and Reading. I am a volunteer Ready Reader Tutor at the Westchase Elemnetary. I like the teaching and learning process alike. I love the feeling when a student suddenly gets the concept. I enjoy the process of teaching just as the final result.

It amazes me just how much I enjoy tutoring to all of my students. Each student is different and he or she needs personalized help. My goal is to provide them with what they need to improve their math and/or science skills. My methodology is one that is simple; take is step-by-step. I call it "the method of crab". I originally studies to become an Industrial Engineer. Currently, I am working to get a second degree; a Master’s of Education. That is why I came to the United States. In the last four years, I have tutored students in all levels and areas of mathematics and sciences. I have had experience with students from elementary school through college.

Since receiving my Elementary Education Degree fifteen years ago, I have had the opportunity to experience the many different aspects the teaching profession offers. Prior to relocating to Florida I taught for 4 years in Pennsylvania and this is my eleventh year with Pinellas County Schools. I presently teach 5th grade at San Jose Elementary in Dunedin and am currently seeking my Masters Degree through USF. I have tutored both children as well as adults, 10 out of the 15 years of my teaching career. I constantly strive to stay current with the newest educational trends through extensive reading, exploring new technologies, and through our nation’s multi-media. I also expand my knowledge by attending and/or participating in the different county-level courses that are offered to teachers throughout the school year.
