Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Buffalo, NY

I love to play chess. Laid back, approachable with a sense of humor. I received my B.A. in humanities with a minor in Spanish from Buffalo State College in 2009. I studied English, Philosophy and Spanish mostly. I have a lot of experience in writing, critical analysis of literature and basic Spanish. I also hold a TESOL certification from Oxford Seminars. A TESOL certification is an international certification which certifies you to teach English as a second or other language. I have over a year in experience teaching ESL both here in the United States and in South America. I believe I have a good understanding of the technicalities of the English Language and would be ideal for a student struggling with grammar and writing.

As a UB graduate, I was very driven to learn the most I could in the areas of humanities and social sciences. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BA in History and BA in Political Science. With history, I wrote many essays that required me to decipher large amounts of kryptic writing aging back from thousands of millenia ago to present day. In Political Science I have learned how to collect data, use deductive logic, and apply statistics in any situation on will. During the last year I have taught special education students at various schools at all grade level from k-12. Reading and writing were the main focus areas of all of my teaching. I love trying to help children gain knowledge. I believe anyone is capable of learning something new no matter how old they are and that patience and the use of deductive knowledge are they key's to having someone develop their knowledge.

I am a versatile tutor, with experience in a wide range of subjects. I can tutor nearly any high school subject, including English, history, biology, chemistry, earth science, and algebra. Furthermore, I can tutor a variety of college courses including philosophy, psychology, communications, anthropology, sociology, and economics. Moreover, I have experience tutoring students in preparation for standardized tests such as the SAT, GED, and GRE. Finally, most of my experience at the Canisius Tutoring Center involved assisting students in the writing of research and term papers. I excel at writing and can teach students how to effectively plan, outline, structure, and write any sort of paper. I gained my first permanent employment as a tutor five years ago, in the beginning of my sophomore year, in the Canisius College Tutoring Center and held this position for three years until gradua

I have been a teacher and tutor for over 15 years, specifically in private schools. The first student I tutored (as an elementary student) has graduated from dental school and has his own practice! My background in science and math, as well as human psychology, enables me not only to teach the curriculum, but also to understand those academic areas which are common roadblocks to many students. I am motivated to bring knowledge, model tenacity and give hope to my students. It is a thrill to help a student who is struggling with a subject and see him/her become comfortable and begin to enjoy the academic journey. I have tutored students both with and without learning disabilities. In my 15 years as a teacher in elementary and high school, and as a tutor, I have covered math through algebra and geometry,biology, geography/history, chemistry and physics. I am capable of tutoring college

I would say that the greatest personal attribute that the Lord has given me when it comes to teaching is patience. I allow the student the time that it takes them in order for them to "get it" without pressuring them. I also like to make the material as simple as possible by teaching in a manner where I like to emphasize understanding as opposed to just being able to do it. And typically I find the best way to offer enlightenment to the student is to take whatever concept it is that I am trying to convey to them and draw an analogy to something basic that they do understand to help bridge the gap to the new concept (the same thing that the Lord Jesus Christ did - John 3:12). I have been tutoring and teaching since I entered college. I have helped multiple friends of mine through difficult classes that they needed for their degree. I have held many study groups for difficult upper le

I've always been driven to help others understand subjects on a deep level. When I was in high school, I taught my brother basic algebra. (He was ten years old at the time.) As the editor of a high IQ society's official publication, I work with people to help their submissions meet their full potential. My undergraduate degree is in economics, and my graduate degree is an MBA with a concentration in finance. I have a very solid understanding of statistics; enough so to allow me to identify and correct errors on two separate professors' answer keys. I'm also strong in finance, accounting, general business, and general written communication. The single most important thing about being a teacher or mentor is to be respectful, socially aware, and sensitive. Okay, that's three things, but they kind of go together. The second most important thing about being a mentor is to create unde

I tend to work well with individuals and small groups, independent of their age - I have worked with everyone from elementary school and below up to adult learners on a factory floor. My main goal is to teach by finding out what the pupil already knows and relating the subject matter to them through the already established knowledge base. Combining this this direct experience with analogy tends to bring what sometimes starts as an incomprehensible subject into the realm of what they already know and have a feel for, making them more comfortable with the subject and better able to grasp the concepts. As a mechanical engineering graduate with 3 years of practical experience in the field, I am constantly curious of the world around me and take great delight in sharing and imparting that knowledge in others. The degree itself grounds me firmly in the math and science worlds - everything f
