Jeet B. - Mableton, GA 30126 (8.1 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

Calina P. - Smyrna, GA 30082 (8.2 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

Jay S. - Snellville, GA 30078 (18.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $27.50/hr.
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 curriculum around the importance of reading. Reading is the easiest and most effective way of obtaining knowledge and using it in the world. 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

James H. - Carrollton, GA 30116 (35.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $65.00/hr.
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 safety, and much much more. 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

Naaman R - Atlanta, GA 30314 (2.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $41.50/hr.
My BA in sociology has enabled me to develop an objective understading of society. Therefore, I have been able to apply my soical understanding in ways that promote growth and development for myself and those who are around me. Through my one year of service as a tutor in the Americorps National Service Organization I have learned how to work with students from many different segements of society, and also embrace the challenge of tutoring subects which fall outside my circle of experties such as math and science. While fufilling my duties as a graduate student and teaching assistant in my former university's History department, I have written and graded numerous short essays, research papers, as well as term papers. These experiences have also allowed me to develop my skills as a writer and proof reader. Therefore,through the years I have enjoyed tutoring students in the subjects of Eng

Kamisha M - Atlanta, GA 30359 (2.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $42.00/hr.
The majority of my work experience has been with young children. I believe that each pupil is unique and it is most important to discover what learning style(s) work best for them. I prefer a constructivist approach in where the learning takes place side by side and with as much "hands on" opportunities as possible. Also, I like my students to fully grasp a conceot and have a true understanding of what they are learning. Time is the key and ofeten times students do not have the "time" within a school day or year to get the necessary assistance they need only at shcool or from their teacher. I am a driven and motivated person with a high level of expectation. I have earned my B.S. in Graphic Design and have extensive English/writing and mathematics skills. I have tutored children of elementary, middle, and high school grades; in addition to being an elementary school reading coach.

Talib D - Atlanta, GA 30312 (3.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $39.00/hr.
I use a differentiated instructional approach that is designed around the student's particular needs. After assessing the students needs and setting targeted goals, I develop a (lesson) plan to meet those targets. For five years, I was professor of World Literature/English Composition at Clark Atlanta University. For two years, I taught Literature/Composition at North Atlanta High School. During this time, I developed a linguistically oriented method of teaching writing that allows students to appreciate and exploit the instructive correlations between the writing and reading processes. Equipped with such knowledge, students developed not only the skill, but also the confidence required for successful writing.

Anand S - Atlanta, GA 30030 (3.7 mi) - Chess Tutor - $57.00/hr.
Before coming to Emory, I grew up in a struggling Memphis public school system. Although I was lucky enough to have plenty of resources, support, and guidance to enable me to excel, I knew many students did not have the same fortune. I began informally tutoring the ACT and SAT in high school. In college, I was a member of 'Emory READ' (through Emory's volunteer agency) tutoring at an inner city elementary school and AmeriCorps Jumpstart tutoring at a pre-school. Working with younger underprivileged children presented a welcome challenge, for in addition to mastering specific concepts I enjoyed the emphasis on developing language, literary and social skills. In college, my neuroscience major has often taken me out of my comfort zone and pushed me intellectually; I have received tutoring every step of the way. My college experience in addition to tutoring students in pre-school, element

Chris R - Atlanta, GA 30312 (3.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $40.50/hr.
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

Cydni M - Atlanta, GA 30316 (4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $40.50/hr.
As the oldest child of a family with seven, I have an intuitive understanding of child psychology and motivation. I have a sincere love for children, and I am pursuing a career as a teacher. The children I have worked with who have learning challenges have been the most influenced by my positive reinforcement. I focus the most attention on changing the way they think about learning, and keeping our approach simple. I practice the material with them as much as needed, reward progress and constantly remind the student, "You can do this." I have five years of experience in teaching, childcare, mentoring and community service. My bachelor's degree in History from the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign indicates my highly developed verbal and writing skills. In addition, on a recent verbal teacher's exam, I achieved a score of 750/800. I plan to attend a Master's program in Mi

Joanne C - Smyrna, GA 30082 (6.4 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

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
