Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Youngtown, AZ

Will need to brush up myself, so we'll learn together! My experience in Tutoring is a bit fleeting only having done it in odds and ends; non-professionally at best, but as I see progress in others, it inspires ME to grow. Also knowing that I have helped in some small part further encourages me to help out more. I don't have any track record to speak of but I what I hope to provide for those under my wing is a chance to believe, as motivator Les Brown would say, "It's Possible that I can succeed!" THAT'S what students REALLY need to know. One on One is the ideal method for me as it allows time dedicated to the tutored. It makes them feel special and appreciated and also allows time for coaching and motivation.

Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various styles which is very effective. Teacher-centered, where the teacher is expert and authority in presenting information works well with students who need little direction from the instructor, and/or those who accept responsibility for their own learning. While in other situations, I will take a learner-centered approach thus viewing my role as more of a facilitator of student learning. In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company. I am an experienced educator and state certified instructor with impeccable credentials and a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching. More recently, I have tutored adults participating

I love working with children and adults, and I have taught all types of students from very different backgrounds. I understand that each person has a different way of learning and understanding. It is important to teach each individual in the way she or he best receives the material. I attribute much of my success in teaching with the fact that I make learning fun and interesting rather a burden. I find that students learn better when they are at ease and when they enjoy what they are learning. Education is very important to me. It is rewarding each time I can see I have made a difference. I have an interest in working with others and helping them to develop their skills. I first began tutoring privately and through extra-curricular organizations. After graduating university, I began teaching. I have taught English for SAT and other college placement exams. I have also tutored elementar

I have a policy with my students, which I call the three L's: Look, Listen, and Learn. When I teach, I expect them to learn, and I therefore have to make it interesting enough for them to want to do just that. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." Children's minds are like sponges,and one has to make sure the information is good. I try to educate in a way that will help them to read, relate, and realize. I want to be the teacher my students want to remember! I have much experience in tutoring and teaching. I have tutored right from the time I was in college, and taught in the past and present. I have held other jobs, but have always been drawn to teaching like a magnet. I do believe teaching is my forte! My diverse cultural back ground, travels, and experiences, have contributed to an interesting life, that I am able to share in my teaching and interacting with students. I have taught

Experience: Responsible for monitoring training of individuals on shift and delegating work assignments. I would assist in designing training aids and test. I was responsible for scheduling training, perform the training, and then following up with making sure it is recorded and tracked. I believe teaching style is dictated by the student. I have noticed that some take to hands on training better or repeating of the process till it is learned. I like to teach a subject and have the student repeat it back to me when I am done to make sure they have learned anything from what I have just said.

It is my goal to enhance learning to help your child get their homework done and for them to learn valuable skills along the way. I care about your child's frustration and boredom with homework and understand that success is built on minimizing distractions, breaking each problem down and creating a comfortable, quiet setting. As a graduate of a college known as the Ivy League of the South and a highly ranked business school, I am very driven to teach others to achieve success in their education experience. I have earned my bachelor degree in Accounting while working full time and later went back to school studying medicine. I am now a Tutor in several of the most frustrating and demanding subjects: Accounting, Calculus, Algebra, Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology and Physics. I enjoy teaching and bring fun into all my lesson plans.

Throughout my higher educational career, I’ve been driven to learn as much as possible to help satisfy my enormous curiosity. I have earned a bachelor degree in English Literature, and am currently a MFA candidate in the creative writing program at Arizona State University. As part of my graduate funding, I work as a teaching assistant. The program requires constant training, and I enjoy taking part in understanding the way students learn. In addition to teaching at the university, I work with the Office of Youth Preparation—teaching not only the craft of poetry, but helping 4th and 5th graders develop language skills necessary to do well in school. Although I primarily work with the study of English, I study Spanish and have become proficient with the use of the language. I believe that the possibilities of learning are incredible, especially with understanding the tools of both teach

I love both teaching and tutoring. It is a joy to me to be able to help students learn. I believe in the constructivist theory of learning. We learn by doing. Thus, I don't believe in merely showing a student the solution to a problem. She must work through the problem herself, using an approach that works well for her. My job as tutor is to provide guidance, supporting the student at first, then gradually dropping my support as he gains confidence in his own abilities. Techniques I use include asking leading questions and demonstrating ways of solving similar problems. I also try to ascertain exactly where the student is having difficulty, so that I can help her in the areas where she needs the most help. Making a difference and helping young people grow is what education is all about! Because of my strong interest in education, I am changing my career field from computer progr

I have grown up wanting to be a teacher. I love children and I love teaching them. Being able to help a child learn something new that will stay with them for the rest of their lives is very rewarding. I strive to make sure that I am reaching every student in my classroom. In order to do that I believe that my school curriculum needs to be creative and ever changing. All student learn differently so I need a diverse curriculum to meet the needs of every child in my classroom. The most important part of teaching is the children in the classroom and I strive to make an impact in each and every one of their lives. From June of 2005 till January of 2009 I was homeschooling a family of 5 children everyday. I taught them all their basic curriculum as well as art, music, p.e., cooking, Spanish, sign language, health, and safety. When they needed help, I tutored them until they understood the ma

I have a strong interest in mathematics in the areas of algebra, geometry, and statistics. I have completed 9 credits of statistics and 6 credits of algebra. I can also tutor in business and psychology. I have been working with in academia for the past 3 years and am working towards becoming an adjunct-faculty at the local college. I find enthusiasm and interest in the subject taught is very important. If I can convey the interest and fun that I get from working problems and show it through my teaching, students who fear or hate math or any subject tend to rethink their position from a disabled frame of mind to one that exudes confidence in their approach.

My first teaching experience involved establishing a Title I Kindergarten classroom. Since that first few months of teaching, I have loved working with children at the kindergarten level and teaching them the basics of learning to read and prepare them for 1st grade. I have taken several classes from different universities in teaching reading and methods of teaching. I am a retired teacher, but continue to work with children through volunteer work. I love working with children and am able to communicate with most in a way that produces a secure and encouraging environment. I am patient, easy going, and respect each child's right to express himself in an appropriate way. I believe each child can learn if he is given the appropriate materials, methods, and teacher for his style of learning.
