My comments on tutoring Chess : Play the game. Understand the basics.

I am dedicated to having my customers become successful. I take this very seriously. I am a great listener and understand that every day is not golden and wonderful. I am honest and will give you my input good or bad. I may have materials to assist in the learning process. Also, I will provide instant feedback. I will assist with research, homework and test preparation.
I have been teaching in a classroom environment for ten years at the Associate, Bachelor and Master's levels. I have tutored for over fifteen years. My positions included being Business and Accounting Instructor, Program Director of Business and Accounting program and Dean of Education for two different schools. I am a trained facilitator of a student success program taught by the Pacific Institute. I have written lesson plans and created new courses as necessary. My students are from kindergarten to College Level.

My comments on tutoring Chess : Decent chess player

Very patient. Usually I will explain the concept, present a practice problem, and double check to make sure he or she understands how to do it. But if possible, I will teach differently in the most effective way.
I have just finished junior year of high school and will be a senior this fall. Throughout my life I have always been especially good at math. I never fail to get an A in math every year. In 10th grade I decided to skip Pre-Calculus from Algebra 2 to AP Calculus BC when I enter 11th grade. Interestingly, I still found AP Calculus BC to be relatively easy. I am the vice president of a tutor club at La Costa Canyon High School. I teach students after school all subjects. I also tutored students outside of school. During my junior year I tutored a girl in Pre-Algebra who did not understand how graphs work. I also tutored a high-schooler in Pre-Calculus two weeks ag ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love Math, and I would love to have the opportunity to teach children and adults especially students from k-12th grade who are struggling in Math. My teaching style would be to teach Math as simple and understandable as possible. I would also make my teaching style to be fun but my priority is to tutor students to be successful in their education.
I graduated from University of California Riverside and received my bachelor's degree in Mathematics. Not only I gain more understanding in Math, I also spent most of my time with my fellow classmates helping each other for our Math assignments in college. During the spring 2010, I tutored one student who is struggling in Algebra 1 and helped her pass the class.

Through participation in professional and community leadership activities, I have honed my attention to detail, leadership and interpersonal skills. As a “Bears United In Literacy Development” mentor for CAL Corps Public Service Center, I guided a group of 3 underperforming students from the low-income Oakland community to grade level standards by creating innovative weekly lesson plans to improve test scores, grades, and ownership of their academic careers. Out of 300+ learning strategy submissions to America Learns lesson strategy network, I was honored with the “December National Learning Strategy of the Month” for creating an innovate lesson plan, employing engaged pedagogy in the classroom and guiding students to take initiative.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy use of the Socratic Method but recognize that in the sciences a more pragmatic process is required. Over the years I have concluded that good teaching requires good analysis of which particular approach works for a student and then alter the materials to fit the need.
I completed my MBA and Juris Doctorate while employed full time, married with two children. It has given me insight into the learning process and what is or isn't a distraction. I have taught over 20 years in several community colleges a full range of business subjects while employed in the accounting function. In addition, I published and managed a Law Review and later a sports magazine nationally.

More About This Tutor...

I consider my ability to observe and adapt to situations that may not be considered ordinary as an advantage. Through education, I have developed techniques that enhance my analytical and critical thinking skills. My closest linguistic “friends” in life are How, What, When, Where, Who, and Why. With their help and the help of others, I know I will succeed as a teacher and student. I am a perpetual pupil and will remain so until the end. I also draw upon my experiences as a husband, parent, son, brother, friend, and associate when assessing interactions and conversations with those individuals I come into contact with on a daily basis. We are all here and together for such a short time, and time is an irreplaceable asset. Therefore, it only stands to reason that moments of learning should not be wasted. I consider teaching to be a privilege as well as a serious responsibility, and I will ... read more

I received my BS degree in Communications in 1974 and passed my CBEST test in December, 2008. I have been tutoring for over 6 months assisting a student rewriting her term paper. I have also tutored my grandson and younger daughter in high school and college math. I decided to enter tutoring and teaching after realizing how important education is while using my communications ability.
I have always enjoyed working with children and helping to direct paths thru life. I get along with children very well and am very patient. Children like adults have their strong subjects and weak ones and my style is try to find the strong points of children. It is important at what point a student lost their way, go back and help them get past that point. I want to make a difference in this small amount of time I have on earth.

More About This Tutor...

I always enjoy working with children. Each child has unique skills, needs, and background and I try to adjust my teaching style accordingly. I have worked with students of all ages and abilities and from diverse backgrounds and so have learned to "tune-in" to the situation at hand and improvise if need be. I am patient and yet am not afraid to push a little if the situation seems appropriate. All of the students I have worked with seemed to have benefitted by this approach. Knowledge is never crammed in from the outside but drawn out from within. Seeing the growth of interest and intelligence in the child makes me feel that I have contributed something of worth to humanity and to myself.
I have studied philosophy at UC Berkeley and UC Riverside (where I received my BA). I excel in math, science, and English. My reading, grammar and writing skills are quite storng. I ... read more
