Alan R. - Gainesville, FL 32609 (20.6 mi) - Chess Tutor - $22.50/hr.
I am particularly looking for younger students, ranging from completely new to chess or the beginner looking to make advancements to the next level. I am prepared to offer the student plenty of my time and dedication; I will teach them the rules, standard opening theory, endgame theory, tactical concepts, and of course strategy in the middlegame. I will present them with grandmaster games, and show them the winning logic behind moves. If they wish, I will be glad to review and analyze any games that they played with them and optionally with computer assistance. Hello, my name is Alan Reyes. I am a 19 year old college student attending the University of Florida for a BS in Physics and Astronomy. I have been playing chess for 5 years and have placed first in my section in the Jacksonville Open and two years running in the Sunshine Summer Opens 2013 and 2014. I also placed first in my secti

Kyle O - Gainesville, FL 32608 (13.6 mi) - Chess Tutor - $35.50/hr.
Throughout my schooling, I’ve been very driven towards academic excellence. Because of my successes, I skipped 1st and 12th grade to begin college as the youngest freshman of the year at Carnegie Mellon University. I completed 2 years of Industrial Design, and Rapid Prototyping Engineering education at that fabulous institution; and, I am currently studying for my bachelor’s degree at The Art Institute Online (A Division of The Art Institute of Pittsburgh) in Interactive Media Design. I have been tutoring in mathematics for the past four years, specifically Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus. Professionally, for the past two years, I’ve worked as a freelance graphic artist. I am skilled in Adobe Creative Suite 2, Rhino 3.0, and Corel Bryce 5. I enjoy guiding pupils through the journey of “ah-ha” moments. That initial expression of joy and true understanding is my fuel for teaching. Whe

Pruthu P - Gainesville, FL 32608 (13.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $32.00/hr.
My teaching style is very specific to each student I tutor. I try to tailor my thoughts so that any student at any level in the subject can understand me. At the teaching center, the focus was to help guide the student to get the correct answer and not just give the answer. Sometimes the thinking process to achieving the correct answer is more important than the answer itself. I also try using diagrams and figures when they are called for to explain some of the topics. I frequently use positive reinforcement so the student feels even more encouraged to learn. As a microbiology student, I have taken rigorous courses in the sciences as well as math. The laboratory classes that accompany the science classes also provided first hand knowledge and the ability to write research papers and lab reports. This along with my passion for chemistry let me to take a position at the University of Flori

Arjun G - Gainesville, FL 32608 (13.9 mi) - Chess Tutor - $33.00/hr.
Coming from an industrial engineering background, I have all the necessary math and physics skills to train students at the high school and early college level. A major career shift to modeling nature made me acquire new knowledge of biology, ecology, and, of course, much more math. I have been on field-work for a long time, and I've trained several people in sampling techniques. I am currently teaching wildlife population ecology to undergraduate students at the University of Florida. I am good with all ages. My ideas in physics, math, statistics and wildlife are very concrete. I am a visual person and do most of my teaching with real world examples. I believe that students only grasp concepts when they see things and relate situations into real life examples that they have experienced in their life. Helping a student get excited about the subjects I teach gives me tremendous joy

Melissa M - Gainesville, FL 32608 (14.5 mi) - Chess Tutor - $33.00/hr.
I will be graduating from UF this fall semester with a degree in marketing and mass communication. Although I am young, I have had some experience in teaching, as I have worked as a tutor during the summer. I have also served as a tutor at the University of Florida in all math related topics. I truly enjoy working with people of all ages and I am a registered substitute teacher. I have always been a diligent student, as my transcript can attest, and I have a passion for teaching anyone, especially in the areas of mathematics, economics, English, and writing. My teaching style embodies a combination of individualism and structure. Before I teach any subject, I dissect the topic to get to the fundamental root that may cause difficulties in learning. I break down the problem into a simple nature so that students can understand the logical reasoning of how to solve any problem. I believe

Sergio I L - Gainesville, FL 32608 (14.6 mi) - Chess Tutor - $36.50/hr.
A BA and an MA in French provide me with the knowledge. Experience as a former teaching assistant and as a current online tutor give me the skills necessary to teach. Writing numerous papers in both French and English taught me the mechanics involved in language. I use all of these insights to enrich students' prospective experiences. In addition to reading and writing, I also tutor math up to Algebra II. Although schooled in the Communicative Method in second language acquisition, my teaching styles are varied, fluid and dependent upon the individual student and subject. Along with patience, understanding will create an environment conducive to learning.

Erik D - Gainesville, FL 32608 (14.6 mi) - Chess Tutor - $33.00/hr.
While in business college, I am constantly tutoring fellow classmates and peers. Tutoring is very rewarding to me because I can be a part of each student's success. My teaching style is largely based on my learning style. I am a very fast learner and I decipher the big picture and the essential concepts of a subject or problem before looking into the details.

Scott M - Gainesville, FL 32603 (14.7 mi) - Chess Tutor - $33.50/hr.
I have worked as a substitute teacher in a wide variety of subject areas, and have volunteered as a tutor for some time. However, since beginning a PhD program at UF I have done neither. Though most substitutes are not much more than babysitters, I attempted to teach whatever subject matter was before the students. I regularly heard from students that they understood my way of explaining something better than they understood their regular teacher (though this by no means happened in every class). This happened most often in math and history courses.
In my work as a lawyer (I was an assistant district attorney between law school and the PhD program) I honed my conciseness skills. I have prepared more academic papers than I care to recall during my eleven years (and counting) of higher education. My particular field of political science requires proficiency with higher math and statistic

Godfrey T - Ocala, FL 34471 (15.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $31.50/hr.
I have loved and been involved in teaching for the past twenty eight (28) years. I believe in starting with a clear idea of what the student must be able to do at the end of specific periods in order to complete a syllabus. To be effective, I feel it is necessary to have prepared, before the start of an academic period, all the lesson materials germane to that period inclusive of all measuring instruments that would monitor the students understanding of the material as they are exposed to it. I believe that, from the outset, the student must feel a part of the learning process. I believe in defining a student’s knowledge base and then guiding them to where they need to be. For me, a successful tutoring assignment would be when the student were confident enough to sensible question the information been delivered. I am a graduate of both a Master’s (M.Sc. in Natural Resource Management)

Tyler K - Gainesville, FL 32612 (15.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I believe that the key to academic success lies in developing a personal passion for any given subject area; I live to share my passion for knowledge with others. I am authentic, intuitive, and calm. I feel that all persons can learn any subject provided sufficient internal motivation. As much as possible, knowledge should be discovered in a relevant manner so as to ensure a continued interest. Sometimes all a student needs is that little spark, and I aim to provide it. I have gained tutoring experience as a volunteer tutor at Bartow High School, treating Spanish, math, and the sciences. Additionally, while serving as a Troop Guide for Troop 500 of the Boy Scouts of America, I had the opportunity to teach younger peers an assortment of survival skills. I am currently a freshman engineering student at the University of Florida pursuing a BS in Chemical Engineering, and I am a graduate of

Diana K - Gainesville, FL 32601 (15.3 mi) - Chess Tutor - $35.50/hr.
I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelors degree in Neuroscience. This degree has allowed me to achieve a great understanding of the sciences. I have taken math classes up to Calculus 2 and a variety of science classes. In addition to this, I wrote my own thesis paper for a neuroscience laboratory that I worked in for two and a half years. This improved my writing skills, lab skills, and critical thinking skills immensely. In high school, I tutored after school calculus for a year while in college, I have tutored fellow peers in science and math classes in which they had difficulty. I love teaching one on one because I believe that is the most effective way to teach one person. By teaching one on one, you can focus on the student's personal weaknesses and strengths in the subject and mold your lessons to their benefit. My teaching style involves showing lots of example

Grant C - Gainesville, FL 32607 (15.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $50.50/hr.
I love seeing people understand something once I explain it to them in a way that they can understand it. I also love working with kids and teenagers because I believe that if we have a positive influence on young people they will grow up to be the leaders that our nation needs. My teaching style is geared at making people think. Students don't learn when they are spoon fed their education but when they are lead in the correct direction. I am currently enrolled in the graduate engineering program at the University of Florida, in which I plan to graduate in the spring of 2012. I enjoy working with people and I have a strong background in numerical analysis. I have taken the GRE, ACT, and the SAT. Scores were high above the national average for math and at about the average for the written portion. I do have experience in writing research papers and laboratory reports, all in the field of

Christine R - Gainesville, FL 32609 (16 mi) - Chess Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and I have a Master's degree in Family, Youth and Community Science, with a focus on youth and community development. I was a substitute teacher in the Atlanta area for one year which gave me the chance to mentor and tutor several high school students in math. I have worked with kids through volunteer opportunities as well, such as a local community garden at a middle school. I have excellent written communication skills as well due to writing a thesis, research reports and running a business for the past 5 years. I love mentoring and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but they all have different learning styles (auditory, visual, tactile, and kinesthetic). Also, learning must be relevant to each student. For example, using sports statistics to teach math. I am patient, easy going, and fun. I am a firm believer in t
