Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Vero Beach, FL

I love to interact with somebody who is curious and interested in the subject, no matter what the subject. In mathematics, I believe in a very thorough and conceptual understanding of the subject, which enhances one's ability to use the knowledge in real-world settings, not just memorization of formulae and equations. Understanding, rather than memorization, is also crucial for the student who will continue to learn more advanced subjects in mathematics. At my undergraduate program, my professor for a course in Symbolic Logic asked to refer students in the class to me, if they had questions about the material. After the class had finished, the professor hired me through the university's Philosophy Department as a tutor for the same class. After graduation, I acted as a private tutor in my spare time. At Columbia University I was a Teaching Assistant for three college courses, giving

As a teacher, I realize many students need exra help to comprehend their course material. I enjoy giving that extra help and working with the student to determine which style of learning best suites them. It is possible for every student to succeed. It is my goal not only to have the student understand the material but to enjoy the process. I explain and show the concepts to the student in a clear easy to understand way. I encourage my students to participate in the learning process. My greatest joy is to see the light in a student's eyes when they "Get it". As a private school teacher I hav taught all the math,science, and history courses at the middle and high school level. I have also tutored college Algebra and Trigonometry. Math is the subject I love teaching the most. I am very proficient in teaching all levels of math,science and history. I also have experience in teaching grade

Throughout my professional career, I have enjoyed teaching and mentoring young engineers and other workers in advanced technologies. I believe now that it is time I gave back to other young students and, in particular, to your student. I love to teach and would dedicate myself to the improvement of your child's academic performance. My technique is to be patient, understanding, and sensitive to the exact needs and capabilities of your student. My expertise is in math, english, and the sciences and I will dedicate myself to making a great and positive influence on your child's academic performance.

The students of today will be the first generation to collaborate on a global scale and it will be necessary that they have an understanding of cultures other than their own if they are to succeed. This is where I feel that having knowledge of history and current events plays a crucial role. I believe that to truly know where you are going you have to understand where you have come from. I fully intend to give my students the experiences they need to become knowledgeable partners in the global community. The two main philosophies I try to live my life by are giving back more than what has been given to me, and always leave something in better condition then I found it. Life has not always been an easy road, but through hard work and determination I have risen above any adversity life has presented. I believe the juxtaposition of these philosophies with the leadership skills acquired thro

I don't just want to regurgitate information to a student; I want them to learn. I allow them to try to complete and assignment, and if they ask questions, I think of the child's learning style. How they learn affects how I explain it to them or how I show them. If they are having trouble understanding, i will model their question and answer it correctly. I will ten ask them the differences between the two. I am very patient, easygoing, and I give praise often. I graduated with my BS in CSD and am now going for my Master's. I have worked with children of all ages specifically in literacy, writing, and speech. I am comfortable teaching up to and including Algebra,any history, and elementary school science.

As I indicated, I have a B.A.in Philosophy and later studies in Art. Later, in 1975, I decided to return to obtain a DMD at BU. After that I joined the Army and served as an Army dentist. Due to events in my life following my brief sojourn in the Army, I traveled abroad to India and Asia. Upon returning, I continued to study, but this time in more spiritual matters. I currently live with my daughter and 3 grandchildren and we have a small family registered daycare. I also participate with the children. However, I do spend a few hours a day writing and I am also a webmaster. Of the essence in tutoring is to make the subject pertinent and fun, as well as applicable to everyday life. For small children, we have phonetics to help the child master sounds and words. I do use Ipod teaching games to involve the child actively. Obviously for older children, who may have trouble expressing them

I am a college graduate with degrees in finance and real estate. Through the years I have educated myself through higher learning in all areas of academics. Years ago I performed all the requirements needed to graduate a four year college, one of which is interaction with other students in a study group atmosphere and either learning or teaching each other. I have always loved learning and teaching people which I believe qualifies me to tutor young people. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I would use all the learning styles while tutoring a person to evaluate and develop the learning style which best fits the individual. I believe anyone can learn and have fun doing so, it is the teacher or his style or any combination which hinders the student.

I believe instructors should be fair and knowledgeable in order to be effective educators. I believe allowing students to have some flexibility and leadership in their own learning makes a more enthusiastic and motivated student. I believe instruction should be purposeful, meaningful, and appropriate for what each student is required and capable of attaining. I also use assessments (formal and informal) to measure and adjust learning goals for all students regularly. I have taught elementary through high school special education as well as regular education course loads. I have experience in alternative school settings, juvenile justice, and public school, as well as GED prep work. I regularly integrate technology into instruction and attend professional development opportunities when they are provided.

I taught nights at Prospect Hall College in Hollywood for 4 years. 1-2 courses per quarter. They awarded AA degrees in computer programming, business administration and others. I taught accounting I & II, personal income tax, managerial accounting, business administration, bookkeeping and public relations. I did tutor my grandson last year for 4 months while his family stayed with us. Algebra was one of the courses. I can pick up programs and apply them right away, ie:test prep, elementary, middle and high school courses I selected outside of Accounting/finance base. I have learned to apply various teaching methods to reach each student individually. It doesn't matter how smart I am, a master of the subject or my business successes. It matters that they get what they can out of the subject. Even how to take a test or to test the reasonableness’ of the answer. Seeing the "light go on" is

The most important part of teaching is to teach students the principle or concept behind a subject. I do not believe in making students memorize absurdly large lists of facts in order to pass a test. Learning should be more fundamental than that. When a student has been successfully taught something, the student should be able to solve an array of problems with a common theme. At college I worked as a tutor for two years in the areas of chemistry and mathematics. I earned BA's in chemistry and biochemistry and have some laboratory experience. Having been educated at a liberal arts school has also given me the opportunity to study philosophy and sociology. I also write well, as writing is emphasized in all disciplines of study at Knox. Previous to my college education, I was also active in my tutoring program in high school.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge of Accounting and Taxation with interested clients and students. I enjoy working with college age students who are pursuing a degree in accounting and taxation or who may be working on their MBA. I also believe Accounting should be taught at the highschool grade levels. The ability to balance a check book and work a double entry trial balance are important skills all educated students should know. I began college studies at Spring Hill after completing my junior year of highschool. I entered Spring Hill College under the early admissions program. I completed my education at Spring Hill in three years by attending Summer School. I passed the CPA Exam and have been a Florida CPA since 1983 working in the field of public accounting and taxation. I have taught graduate level accounting courses at Florida Institute of Technology. I have over 1000+ hours of

While receiving my Bachelor of Science degree in Hospitality Management, I was determined to succeed in other facets of education. In fact, I took several courses in Elementary Education before switching my major. I tutored many students who needed help in the areas of English,grammar,writing,accounting,economics,law,a nd research papers. I helped them gain confidence and motivated them to become self-starters. In addition, I assisted them with goal setting and structure, in order to complete assignments. I am a very patient individual who will work with each child at their own pace. I believe in highlighting the strengths children possess rather than pointing out their weaknesses. I work with their challenges in a creative way so the child continues to stay motivated in the learning process. All children are valuable assets and I treat them as such, without any compromising.

I have a natural gift for working with children. I am a good listener. I am very patient with those I teach. I try to find out what they need to learn and how they can best hear and understand the informantion. I meet them where they are and try to excel them from there to reach their goals. I also try to inspire them to want to learn and to appreciate their own unique skills and challenges. My educational and work experience backgrounds have provided me with proficient skills in math, organization, multi-tasking, computers and various software programs. Since 1992, I have taught subordinates, peers, managers and directors how to manage their budgets, understand their financial reports, and how to use their computers more effectively. For the past four years I have taught medical assistant students in the subjects of using a computer in the office and business ethics. I continue

I always enjoy helping and having a positive impact on someone's life. I worked as a Tutor Counselor before for the EOF Program in NJ. The objective of the graduate EOF program is to increase participation in graduate & professional study of NJ residents from backgrounds of historical poverty. I was a joy watching them mature and learn in such a small period of time and I was glad I had made a difference in their lives. I am very interested in this position that is available at your company. I recently graduated from Bloomfield College and am actively seeking employment. My courses in investments, finance and business have given me a solid base upon which I plan to build to build my career. During my college years and previous work experience, I dealt with a variety of budgets and conducted market research while handling numerous administrative duties. The experience allowed me to le
