Charles T - wilson, NC 27896 (39.6 mi) - Chess Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I love teaching and working with people. I believe that there is no set teaching style, due to people's indifferance. I believe that because people learn in differant ways, then a teacher/tutor should approach students in many angles. I believe with my background I should be a good candidate for the tutoring position. I have a B.S. Chemistry from Elizabeth City State University, where I did R&D work with Atrazine. Atrazine is a pesticide that was tested qualitatively and quantitatively using HPLC. I've completed coursework for a M.S. Chemical Physics from Norfolk State University. After being offered a Teaching Assistantship, I taught multiple chemistry laboratory classes. My graduate research focuses on synthesizing organic monomers for Photovoltaic applications; however, I have assisted with research devoted to immobilizing enzymes onto solid supports at the Center for Materials

Jamieson M - Raleigh, NC 27612 (47.9 mi) - Chess Tutor - $39.50/hr.
I have been tutoring since I was 13 years old. Parents of my peers always approached me to teach their son or daughter. After I completed high school with a 4.0 GPA I was hired at a professional tutoring school. There I worked for nearly 10 years with a loyal student base many of whom I taught the entire time. I taught kids from when they were in elementary school all the way until high school. Some students were ineligible to go to normal school so I was their only teacher for years. In that time I managed to get these students up to 4 years ahead in certain subjects like math and science. I've also taught students that could not even speak english when they came to me and in a short amount of time they were fluent. Teaching to me is about relating the information to the students in a way they can understand. It is very important to make the material relevant to their lives some

Brigid R - Raleigh, NC 27607 (49.5 mi) - Chess Tutor - $37.50/hr.
My academic and professional histories champion my lack of formal teaching experience. Upon graduating from NC State with Psychology and Journalism degrees in December 2005, I was employed as an editorial and production assistant at a national consumer magazine; Child, in New York City. My roles were exhaustive of both skills I am trained in, and the quality of my writing and grammatical abilities improved greatly. I have been tutoring undergraduate students in writing and aiding with their writing assignments for roughly three years. Notwithstanding the fact that I currently am a research assistant at NCSU's social psychology stress lab, I am confident that my contribution to Advanced Learners' students will be par none. I see the role of the educator as a pivotal element in not only academic success, but social and cultural success as well. Therefore my teaching skills often incorpo

Jessica H - Raleigh, NC 27603 (49.7 mi) - Chess Tutor - $36.00/hr.
I believe it is vital to approach each child with an open mind concerning their learning style, pace, and interest in various subjects. I use tools such as movement, song, rhythm, and sounds to open up a different path to understanding subjects like math, science, grammar, and many others. I believe giving children a bodily experience to relate to their academic learning allows for much more growth and it reduces frustration with themsleves when they don't understand lessons only taught through lecture or writing. I have a heavily arts-based education and teaching background. I taught for a year in an inner-city school teaching creative movement and dance technique. I have artist teacher training from the Lincoln Center Institute for Arts in Education and have been in-residence at several schools working with children by using the arts as the window to learn their academic curriculum

Jackie S - Raleigh, NC 27606 (51.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I have always been gifted in mathematics, and I feel that is is my duty to help others achieve the success that I have. I earned a BS from Bucknell University in mathematics and I am now working towards a PhD in statistics at NC State University. I have taken education courses and I have worked with professors to run "gifted and talented" mathematic courses for students. I have always found that the best teachers are the ones who are able to explain the same concept in a variety of ways, so this is what I seek to do when teaching. I also attempt to not only teach a student how to do a problem, but also to gain a "big picture" view of the concept being taught; i.e., I want the student to be able to not only apply the concept to problems of the same type that he/she does in homework, but also to related problems that he/she might not have previously seen.

Karen F - Morrisville, NC 27560 (53.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $32.00/hr.
I am a patient and empathetic tutor. I have come to realize that there is sometimes a correlation between students having problems in school, and having problems elsewhere. Sometimes they feel the need to discuss these things. I think it's important to listen, but on the other hand, not let that take up a great deal of time. I am able to redirect and focus the students' attention, and to explain things in different ways, if they don't understand the first time. I graduated from San Diego State University, with a B.A. in Social Sciences and a Biology minor (Animal Behavior), in 1995. Previously, I had served four years in the U.S. Navy from 1982-1986. During 2001-2003, I worked for Salem-Keizer School District in Oregon as a Special Programs Instructional Assistant. I worked primarily with an autistic child, but also assisted the other students in math and reading. I have excellen

Theresa A - Cary, NC 27511 (54.6 mi) - Chess Tutor - $39.00/hr.
For the last 3 years I have worked as a Full time teacher for Brevard and Port St. Lucie counties. I have taught all subjects in including reading, math, science and social studies. My first year I taught Middle school reading which included one advanced class , three on level classes and one below grade level class using a program called Read 180. Before I was a teacher I tutored peers in school and elementary students. I have a BA in Psychology an AAS in Business. I have many certification include Prk-3, K-6, middle grade social science and Health k-12. I believe all children can do well at school if they are taught correctly. Every child learns differently and it is the job of the teacher to find the style that works for the student. Some students use verbal cues to learn while others visual, hands on or a variety of other approaches. The better we teach the children today the better

Richard S. - Cary, NC 27513 (54.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $49.50/hr.
Over the years I have found that the most effective teaching style involves not only encouraging student participation, but also to inject "real world" experience into the subject matter. This enhances and brings the textbook material more into focus; thus enabling the student to better understand the subject matter. I have 20+ years of finance and accounting experience; which covers several organizations in the private sector as well as government. From 1989-1999 I was a Certified Bookkeeping instructor in the State Of Florida; teaching Adult Education. Finally, I possess an M.B.A. from Florida Atlantic University and an Associates degree in
Accounting from Broward Community College.

Vinca P - Cary, NC 27513 (55.9 mi) - Chess Tutor - $61.50/hr.
Being a student at UNC Chapel Hill has challenged and inspired me to think creatively and achieve excellence in all areas of academia. As a senior at Carolina I will graduate in the spring of 2012 with a BS in Biology and a minor in Chemistry—providing a thorough understanding of science. I have grammatical expertise and writing skills due to extensive research and refutation papers, and laboratory reports and essays throughout my undergraduate education. In the last several years I have tutored elementary reading and writing at the 1st-3rd grade levels working with underprivileged children. I have tutored general chemistry during my senior year in high school to honors students, and continue to tutor college students in chemistry today. I enjoy working with children of all age ranges, and it is my personal goal to make learning a difficult subject less of a chore. I believe that having
