Calina P. - Smyrna, GA 30082 (1.9 mi) - Chess Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I was taught chess at age four and have been playing ever since. I played throughout school but I have never competed outside of a school setting. I have just finished law school. I grew up in Brazil as well as the United States which allowed me to become fluent in Portuguese as well as English without any accent. I enjoy computers and have learned many programs inside and out throughout my lifetime. Through college I took every computer class I could and even learned how to create a webpage using HTML formatting. I learned many skills as well to improve my chances of entering into Law School such as study skills and typing skills. I like to formulate individual teaching styles based on my students. Not everyone learns the same and therefore I do not teach the same to each student. Sometimes students require my constant attention and encouragement. Other times taking a step back and expl

Jeet B. - Mableton, GA 30126 (3.1 mi) - Chess Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I have been playing chess since my childhood and I am good at it. During my college, I was a finalist in a chess tournament that was conducted on Hogwarts day. I played on the quad with students as chess pieces dressed in corresponding ones. I won all the qualifying games and lost against my Mathematics professor in championship. In my college, it is a glory for my friends to win against me. I play random and strategic. My random play is such that the opponent cannot predict my moves. If the opponent is playing with strategy, I deploy my defense strategy as well as offense. My favorite piece in chess is knight. Holding a Bachelors of Science degree in Mathematics and Economics, I have knowledge of both Mathematics and its application to Economics as well as other real world situations. I have advanced experience on tutoring high school students and college students in courses like PreCal

Antonio Z. - Suwanee, GA 30024 (22.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $15.00/hr.
I'm an experienced chess player that has been teaching children chess for about a year now.
I work part time for Kid Chess, a company that provides chess lessons to Elementary Schools across Georgia.
With them I have prepared many lessons for groups and have given individual instruction to children too.
My experience with Kid Chess has taught me how to instruct children in the basics of the game, and my time there has shown me how to give lessons to more experienced students too.
Although I mainly teach children, I am more than comfortable teaching adults and teenagers too.
Anyone who whises to learn chess from zero, or any beginner who wants to improve is welcome.

Jay S. - Snellville, GA 30078 (24.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $27.50/hr.
My teaching style is a mixture of strict and lenient. I try to form a connection with students and apply that to my teaching method (i.e. incorporating a similar hobby in a question in order for the student to understand the material better). I expect my students to give me and the other students respect- never speaking while others are speaking, no disruptions, ect. This method of teaching has shown effective and a fun learning environment. I base my curriculum around the importance of reading. Reading is the easiest and most effective way of obtaining knowledge and using it in the world. I have had the honor of working with many kids in regards to a variety of fields. My experiences taught me responsibility, patience, the importance of learning and education, and much more. The various teaching opportunities I have been fortunate to have have impacted my social and educational lives; I

Joanne C - Smyrna, GA 30082 (3.7 mi) - Chess Tutor - $41.00/hr.
From my experience I realize that every student learns at a different pace. The tutor has to adapt their approach to suit the students needs. The first step is always getting their attention.
I connect with the students and try to understand what motivates them. I encourage creativity and positive learning and life behaviors. I have a natural talent for reaching students of all ages. I especially am talented in simplifying complex material and helping the learner “get it”. I enjoy the positive response. Having worked with aspiring GED students for the last 2 years I have real experience with a varied student base. Within the enclosed resume packet, I’ve included a detailed description of this experience.
I am comfortable and knowledgeable in most subjects including Math through grade 12 (not calculus), Social Studies, English grammar & vocabulary, composition, most general scienc

Rodney A - Atlanta, GA 30342 (6.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I love teaching and have a passion for it. I enjoy helping students understand the intricacies of science. I make it relevant to the student's life. Through my tutoring I also show how I need to understand and learn the different aspects of science. Science is an evolving and dynamic subject, which we need to try to understand. I use a constructivist approach to learning besides making it a relevant aspect in their lifes. Discover is the best way to learn in science. Anyone can tell students facts and numbers, but having them discover the significance of those facts and numbers is the greatest learning tool for any person. I graduated from New York University and earned a bachelor degree, BA in Biology. I also minored in Psychology. After graduating, I started my career in the educational field. I have been a Science teacher for 25 years. I have taught Biology, AP Biology, Forensic Scien

Larry D - Austell, GA 30168 (7.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $41.50/hr.
Being a father to a 13 year old son, and having close friends with school age children, I have been able to teach some of my ways of doing math in subjects from simple math to algebra to geometry. I believe that there are more ways than one to complete and understand a math problem, and that if done correctly and it is easier to learn and remember, then that may be the way that student better understands that procedure. As an accounting graduate and a college football player, I learned to have a good sense on how to study and hard work, both on and off the field. I had a great love for math throughout my schooling career and decided to go into accounting due to this. Even with a hectic schedule with football in college, I was still able to graduate exactly 2 weeks before 4 years with enough credits to be close to a finance degree as well. I took some graduate classes for my last seme

Vivian G - Marietta, GA 30066 (7.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $43.00/hr.
As a substitute teacher, I experience all types of students. One thing is common in all of them; they want to know they matter. I use this as a means to find a particular interest and weave it into the lessons. Once the interest is peaked, engagement will follow. I love to see students when they discover the ‘aha’ moments in their learning. Not all students learn at the same pace, so I am patient and encouraging. My goal is to get them to believe they can achieve anything and go for it. My first experience as a tutor happened my second year in college. She was an elementary student with behavioral problems. After four sessions, I resigned from that position. A month later, I found out that she was autistic. She taught me a very valuable lesson. Before I can tutor, I must first understand what kind of learner the student is. Although, I did not pursue a teaching degree, I have taken thi

I have earned a BS in Business Management with extensive post graduate studies in the MBA field. I was a military officer. I have faciltated training in a professional environment, as well as college classes. My experience includes presentations on complex subject matters made simple, writing business programs/proposals, teaching computer software, and instruction on business procedures. I have taught college and business courses in group and one-to-one settings. As a son of an educator I have been around the education field since early childhood. I understand that one of the roles of a teacher is to motivate children to learn. Patience with children cannot be over emphasized in a learning environment. I find the keys to successful teaching are patience with consistency of standards and versatility in method of delivery.

Naaman R - Atlanta, GA 30314 (9.1 mi) - Chess Tutor - $41.50/hr.
I believe that paitience, discipline, and focus on the part of the student and the teacher/tutor results in consistant success as a students attempts to learn and achieve. Although I do feel that conventional methods of teaching are still effective, I also believe that implementing audio visual aids, as well as hands on learning are also productive teaching methods. Supplemented with the reward merit system, I have found these approaches to be successful. Every student has the ability to learn if someone is willing help them. Moreover, I am a firm believer that positive reinforcement is an essential part of the learning process. Any student who has confidence that they can learn and achieve will learn and achieve. My BA in sociology has enabled me to develop an objective understading of society. Therefore, I have been able to apply my soical understanding in ways that promote growth an

Wayne C - Hiram, GA 30141 (9.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $63.00/hr.
I believe that science has a undeserved reputation for difficulty as a subject that is directly related to the inability of many teachers to "break it down". Science can seem to be like a foreign language to the uninitiated, but at its essence science is simply a way of thinking about the world and asking questions. Several themes appear again and again in concepts that on the surface may seem unrelated and it is recognizing these themes that is the key to success in building knowledge and confidence. My teaching philosophy is to point out these common threads binding various topics in science and relate it to the real world as quickly as possible, always with the goal of breaking it down to its simplest explanation. I hold a bachelor of science in Biology (cum laude) from Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA and attended graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine

Kamisha M - Atlanta, GA 30359 (9.6 mi) - Chess Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I am a driven and motivated person with a high level of expectation. I have earned my B.S. in Graphic Design and have extensive English/writing and mathematics skills. I have tutored children of elementary, middle, and high school grades; in addition to being an elementary school reading coach. The majority of my work experience has been with young children. I believe that each pupil is unique and it is most important to discover what learning style(s) work best for them. I prefer a constructivist approach in where the learning takes place side by side and with as much "hands on" opportunities as possible. Also, I like my students to fully grasp a conceot and have a true understanding of what they are learning. Time is the key and ofeten times students do not have the "time" within a school day or year to get the necessary assistance they need only at shcool or from their teacher.
