Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Union City, GA

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

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 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 explaining everything in depth and watching the student work is the best approach. No two students are alike therefore my teaching style is different for each student. 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

I have been playing chess for 26 years and teaching chess for over 10 years now. I've played in several competitive tournaments and placed very well in most of them including 1st place in the Magic City Classic Reserve Section and I placed 2nd in the 41st Annual World open 1400 section. I also have a lot of experience teaching people from beginner level all the way up to strong tournament players. I know of all the best chess training materials around and I use the best from all of it when I'm teaching someone. I believe in helping students learn chess in a straight-forward manner. I teach the importance of chess strategy using the 5 most important chess principles. This teaches the student to learn how to think in chess, make great moves, figure out what the opponent is trying to do and prevent them from doing it. I teach how to come up with and execute a plan, openings, tactics, king s

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 take what I learn from teaching and apply it to my own studies- having patience and upholding the responsibilities of being a student. 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 curri

For me, teaching began in my senior year of high school, where I would lead extensive calculus groups. After entering college, where I obtained a Batchelors degree in Applied Mathematics, I tutored pre-calculus and differential equations. I then began to tutor math to at-risk high school students. For a period of more than 2 years I taught computer-related subjects, particularly those that would enable students to obtain Microsoft certifications. Currently I teach and tutor all school mathematics subjects as well as SAT math. In my opinion my teaching would have to be considered unique. Usually I teach math in laymans terms and use analogie that students can relate to. Once the student understands the concepts I can then express the same ideas in the more rigorous mathematical terms. I also teach so that the student becomes active in his or her learning experience.

As an adjunct instructor, I have the responsibility to provide to students a curriculum that covers the course objectives as well as to utilize related technology to enhance learning. As a personal goal, I strive to incorporate higher-level learning using problem-solving techniques to assist students to connect their current studies with previous and/or future studies in the related disciplines. I facilitate individualized instruction to students who require additional assistance with their coursework. I have taught courses online and face to face in the following areas: Web Design, Graphics, Animation, Specialized Software Packages, Art History, Math and Spanish. The quality of education that I received has inspired me to give the same quality and better. Because my students bring a wealth of different knowledge and skills, I attempt to help them use that knowledge towards the to

My teaching style is somewhat unorthodox. I try to use as many styles as possible. I create activities and different opportunities for my students to learn so that they can achieve. I am a motivator and I try to relate real life experiences so that my students will see the benefits of education. My ultimate goal is to become a teacher who is effective at teaching to every type of learning style. Since choosing a career in education, I have been an enthused advocate, promoting opportunities for young people. I have gone as far as getting my Masters in Education Leadership. I also plan to get my PhD in the next couple of years. I have taken many workshops and trainings to become a more effective teacher.

My teaching style is conversational and generally straightforward. I work through translators, so it is important to keep a positive presentation style to avoid misinterpretation and miscommunication. After each segment, I ask the students if they have any questions or concerns. The students are also invited to stop me at any time to ask me questions. I also like to provide visual demonstrations on a white board, which helps me to explain my point in further detail. I provide all my students with my Powerpoint presentation translated into the Bhutanese and Burmese language so that the students have a guide for future reference. My goal is to help the students to understand the U.S. banking system in general, and to overcome any fears or hesitations that they may have about opening a checking account. I teach them how to write a check, and keep a check register. So far, th

As a Facilitator for Western/Delta Air Lines, I was sent to a Training Mapping class in Los Angeles, Ca. to master writing training materials based on the Fogg Index of the trainees. I have also been a Substitute Teacher in the Fayette County School system from 2003-2008 in various grade levels (kindergarden to High School. The subject levels that I have taught range from art, mathematics, English, History, and Science. My repore with the younger generation is my forte. I have always enjoyed teaching at any level. One of my strengths is to recognize the personality of the student and contour my style to that particular personality. In a class room setting, I would focus on a student that I feel is shy and afraid to speak. I would gently get them involved with simple questions to build their confidence so that others in the same realm would understand and overcome the fear associated wit

The last five years have seen me working in research and development roles, but teaching math and science has always been a dream of mine and it is time for a career change. Having earned BS and MS degrees in materials engineering, my technical education as well as my career have provided almost daily practice of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. I want to not just teach students something, but also show them how and why it is relevant and useful. Aside from my technical background, I am also a semi-professional jazz guitarist of 20 years experience. I have played with many groups of various genres of music over the years, but jazz has been my primary passion since high school and I currently play with a jazz quintet named Style Points. As mentioned above, I want to demonstrate to students the real-world applications of scientific and mathematical principles. This will not only help t

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 semester and season before I left college. During this time in college I was able to tutor other players and students in Math and Accounting. I have had the pleasure of continuing tutoring in both of these subjects as well as individual taxes to people after college. 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 fro

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. 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.
