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 section at the 2014 CFCC Tornado in Orlando. I am currently rated USCF 1705, based on 24 games. At the local Gainesville chess club, I can easily play with Class A players, and am considered among their ranks. 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

I am a graduate of both a Master’s (M.Sc. in Natural Resource Management) and Bachelor’s (B.Sc. – Honors - In Surveying and mapping sciences) Programs. As such, I have been exposed to the rigors of writing two (2) thesis submissions, many targeted research projects and numerous technical reports. I have specifically, been responsible for lecturing to students at the certificate, diploma and B.Sc. levels in the subject areas of: land surveying, map reading and map use. Land surveying is basically concerned with the practical application of mathematical principles to mapping. As such, I would be very comfortable offering tutoring in the area s of –Algebra, Geometry, Arithmetic, Trigonometry and Calculus 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 pe

I am a recent graduate from Johns Hopkins University where I majored in mathematics with a concentration in chemistry. Over the past eight years I have tutored and taught continuously in many areas of math, chemistry, physics, and SAT. I have helped students succeed on both the high school and college levels, and have given students exposure to the field of medicine by working as a teacher at the National Student Leadership Conference on Medicine. Through my years of tutoring I have learned there is no single teaching method that works for every student, but every student can be successful if you personalize your teaching method for them. Whether they need visualizations, analogies, straightforwardness, etc, I find what works for my tutees and build on it. My students’ successes make me proud and I strive to give my best to them.

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

Education is one of the best tools anyone could have to build a fulfilling life. It is my experience that students that require that extra boost through tutoring succeed when a role model that demonstrate the skills demanded for their grade level is demonstrated step by step. I emphasize on showing students how to work through a problem while giving support and encouragement when they attempt them. I encourage student participation during the lessons and assist them in developing skills that they could use to facilitate their learning when in the classroom. I possess 10+ years of experience in the field of school psychology. My current dual Florida certification includes the instructor of Foreign Languages (K-12 Spanish) credential. I pursued direct hands-on experience as an instructor of non-traditional (GED for under 18, adult, and bilingual) students and as a college level adjun

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

I was a full time teacher for nine years in Ohio. I taught eighth English for 5 years and had my own sixth grade class for 4. I relate well with my students and my peers. Children seem to like my style of teaching, as I bring myself to their level. I like to have students play a big role in the learning process. Building self-confidence and self esteem is very important to me. Each student is an individual, and it is important to find out what motivates that student.

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. 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 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

I truly love to see the expression on a child's face when he or she learns something new! I understand that there are multiple ways to learn things, so I am that person who uses hands on activities, music, games, rhymes, cheers etc. to reinforce learning concepts. I am patient when a child has trouble grasping a concept and will keep trying until I find a way to demonstrate or explain something that “clicks” with him or her. To me,education is a partnership between the student, parent and educator. Please share any information that you think will help me to help your child be more successful in school. I look forward to our working together to ensure that your child is as successful as possible this school year. I have worked with children for most of my life. For 5 years, I was the owner/operator of a NY State Licensed Family Day Care Home. For more than 15 yrs., I worked in

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.

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. 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.

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
