Calina P. - Smyrna, GA 30082 (36.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $32.50/hr.
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 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 to create a webpage using HTML formatting. I learned many skills as well to improve my chances of entering into Law School such as study skills and typing skills. 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 expl

Jeet B. - Mableton, GA 30126 (37 mi) - Chess Tutor - $45.00/hr.
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. I involve students a lot during the learning period. I consistently ask them questions about the topic and let them think for a while. I give them as much information as possible so that they do not miss any information while solving problems. I make students write. That is how th

Joseph E - Acworth, GA 30102 (23.3 mi) - Chess Tutor - $42.50/hr.
My goal for all my students is to achieve success in their learning and to recognize in themselves that they are capable of that success. With that in mind, I seek to lead and guide the students into not only discerning the answers for themselves, but to learn the method by which they can continue that success on their own. I believe that it is the teacher's responsibility to not just teach to each student's learning strengths but to also help them strengthen those areas in which they struggle. Even before I became an educator, I had the heart of a life-long learner. I believe I was called and gifted to be a teacher and to try to impart a love for learning to my students. I have a BA in English and French, and an MA in French Literature. In my 18 years of teaching experience, I have taught a wide variety of subjects (English, Spanish, French, Social Studies, Math) in mostly small school

Vivian G - Marietta, GA 30066 (28.9 mi) - Chess Tutor - $43.00/hr.
As a substitute teacher, I experience all types of students. One thing is common in all of them; they want to know they matter. I use this as a means to find a particular interest and weave it into the lessons. Once the interest is peaked, engagement will follow. I love to see students when they discover the ‘aha’ moments in their learning. Not all students learn at the same pace, so I am patient and encouraging. My goal is to get them to believe they can achieve anything and go for it. My first experience as a tutor happened my second year in college. She was an elementary student with behavioral problems. After four sessions, I resigned from that position. A month later, I found out that she was autistic. She taught me a very valuable lesson. Before I can tutor, I must first understand what kind of learner the student is. Although, I did not pursue a teaching degree, I have taken thi

Jon C - jasper, GA 30143 (31.1 mi) - Chess Tutor - $39.50/hr.
The method of teaching I prefer is maieutic, i.e., one which draws knowledge from the student, rather than attempts to place it in him/her from without. To me, the process of asking questions and allowing the student's curiosity and intelligence to reach conclusions is far more effective than one-sided lecturing.
I am endlessly creative, coming up with myriad examples to illustrate concepts. In 2006 I taught graphic design topics at Westwood College. In 2007 I taught the same subject at The Creative Circus (roughly equivalent to an MBA program for designers, writers, photographers, and art directors). In 2008 I taught in the design department for Georgia State University. This summer I traveled to a remote region in India to teach English.
I have taught GRE prep for the past 3 years, covering the verbal, quantitative (math), and analytical writing (essay) areas. As a test prep teac

Wayne C - Hiram, GA 30141 (32.3 mi) - Chess Tutor - $63.00/hr.
I hold a bachelor of science in Biology (cum laude) from Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA and attended graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine where I studied Molecular and Cell Biology and completed all coursework required of the Ph.D. Since graduate school, I have over 10 years of biology research experience in both academic and biotech settings. My research, teaching and training experience covers the entirety of essential topics in biology and chemistry. In addition, my solid oral and written communication skills, and excellent computer fluency are just a few of my relevant assets. I believe that science has a undeserved reputation for difficulty as a subject that is directly related to the inability of many teachers to "break it down". Science can seem to be like a foreign language to the uninitiated, but at its essence science is simply a way of think

Rodney A - Atlanta, GA 30342 (38 mi) - Chess Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I love teaching and have a passion for it. I enjoy helping students understand the intricacies of science. I make it relevant to the student's life. Through my tutoring I also show how I need to understand and learn the different aspects of science. Science is an evolving and dynamic subject, which we need to try to understand. I use a constructivist approach to learning besides making it a relevant aspect in their lifes. Discover is the best way to learn in science. Anyone can tell students facts and numbers, but having them discover the significance of those facts and numbers is the greatest learning tool for any person. I graduated from New York University and earned a bachelor degree, BA in Biology. I also minored in Psychology. After graduating, I started my career in the educational field. I have been a Science teacher for 25 years. I have taught Biology, AP Biology, Forensic Scien

Joanne C - Smyrna, GA 30082 (38.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $41.00/hr.
Having worked with aspiring GED students for the last 2 years I have real experience with a varied student base. Within the enclosed resume packet, I’ve included a detailed description of this experience.
I am comfortable and knowledgeable in most subjects including Math through grade 12 (not calculus), Social Studies, English grammar & vocabulary, composition, most general science areas and generally can jump in as needed to respond to the needs of the student. From my experience I realize that every student learns at a different pace. The tutor has to adapt their approach to suit the students needs. The first step is always getting their attention.
I connect with the students and try to understand what motivates them. I encourage creativity and positive learning and life behaviors. I have a natural talent for reaching students of all ages. I especially am talented in simplifyin

I have faciltated training in a professional environment, as well as college classes.

Larry D - Austell, GA 30168 (39.1 mi) - Chess Tutor - $41.50/hr.
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 from simple math to algebra to geometry. I believe that there are more ways than one to complete and understand a math problem, and that if done correctly and it is easier to learn and remember, then that may be the way that student better understands that procedure. 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 seme
