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

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.

Having taught for the past 15 years has enabled me to hone my teaching style, which is mainly an instructor-centered approach. I believe students need to have a focus to be successful learners. It is the teacher who guides the student to have a focus. To focus a student to a particular task, skill, or strategy the teacher needs to fully explain the task, skill, or strategy. Students don’t retain much information when they are told; they need scaffolds and supports to process information. As teachers we need to...” ask ourselves whether we are explaining or telling.” Students need to be aware of the thinking process of the teacher whom demonstrates and models what is expected (skills and processes) and then acts as a coach or guide to assist the students in applying the knowledge. This style encourages student participation and utilizes various learning styles Since receiving my Elemen

In my opinion good teaching results from years of trial and error and the willingness to learn about teaching from veteran colleagues and from one’s own successes and failures. Teaching is both a science and an art; it is a science in the preparation, pedagogy, methodologies, and assessments; it is an art in the myriad of dynamic interactions that take place in the classroom every day which are affected by the teacher’s actions, class size, student backgrounds, subject area, physical conditions, etc. As in art, part of the attraction to teaching is its inherent complexity that makes it difficult to decompose and describe explicitly, and similar to art - you know the quality when you see it. I have a BA and MS in Mathematics, MS in Environmental Engineering, PhD(abd) in Quantitative Analysis (aka Decision Science or Management Science), one year of graduate coursework in Ed Psychology, an

I am currently a student at St. Petersburg College in pursuit of a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. I have taken many specialized courses as to how students learn as well as observing many hours to discover how students learn. I have also worked in multiple after school programs where I have worked in academic atmospheres to promote student learning. My teaching style is pretty flexible. Depending on how the child learns affects the way I would work with them. I usually use examples and support the child with help if they are learning something they have never seen before. I do not rush a child to learn a subject. We can try different ways of learning and figure out which is easiest for the student to use. My goal is to make sure the student becomes successful in school. I think I can make learning fun and interesting for young children.

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, the learning itself is sure to follow." This is a quote that I strive to live by, as well as demonstrate daily in my teaching style. I firmly believe in education both as a tool in investing in the future, as well as an opportunity to make a positive difference in children's lives. :) 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 s

I am a University of Tampa graduate with a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and an Associate's Degree in Mathematics. Also, I am fluent in Greek, and perfect with both writing and speaking skills. I've been tutoring classmates all of my life, not professionally, but just to help out. I've also tutored my brothers and sisters in math throughout their high school and college careers. I have tutored in Greek, math, and chemistry, however, math and Greek are my strongest subjects. I really love teaching. I also think that anybody can grasp any concept in any subject as long as they are subject to a good teacher that knows how to get down to the student's level. This helps the teacher to realize that the student doesn't know everything that the teacher knows, and therefore, has to realize that he has to break down the material in simple, approachable sections so that the average studen

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.

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.

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 received the “Shrider Outstanding Achievements in Mathematics Award” in 2005 from St. Petersburg College. 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.
