My comments on tutoring Chess : I have been a chess player since age 7 - I am rated at 1850. I love to play and teach the game!

In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that includes such issues as time management, test taking, study habits, and, sometimes, acculturation. My teaching methodology follows these simple steps: Step 1: Motivation Step 2: Definition & Understanding of terms Step 3: Explanation, exploration, discussion, debate Step 4: Questions & Answers Step 5: Practice: Time & Effort Step 6: Demonstration (or proof) I absolutely believe that motivation is required for learning. I have found that students become more motivated to learn when they understand how they will profit from the experience. I teach ‘communication’ all the time, regardless of the subject matter.

I try to excite my student's interest about a topic before teaching it. It is human nature that we don't want to learn anything that we perceive as useless for the future, so every lesson must be relevant and applicable. When it's not, I will make it into a game, and have an external motivator associated with successful outcome of an exercise. It's all about setting attainable goals and rewarding your students for them in a way they can appreciate.
Having to live and work in a real world outside of educational system and academia has given me valuable experience, and a new appreciation for applicability of subjects I teach and tutor. As a licensed pilot I found a new meaning for knowledge physics and mathematics, which are essential in flight planning. As a real estate professional, I realized that you may have a good product but if you don't know how to package it, ... read more

As my parents always told me, I believe that education is a transcendent part of everybody's lives. I have earned a BS in Biochemical Engineering, and almost a BS in Apply Mathematics, at Rutgers University. Since I was in my native country I had a very clear goal in mind. I wanted to get a broader level of education, than just simply assuring a future professional career. In order to achieve that I decided to pursue my studies in a different country. This came along with a language that I had to learn and a different educational system. I complemented the science core of my bachelors with Philosophy, Cognitive Psychology and Anthropology among others. I always tutored either Math or Spanish while my school years, but when I was senior, the School of Engineering selected me as a tutor for incoming engineering students. Chemistry and Calculus were the main topics, but later I also helped ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Passion, selflessness, and compassion are some reasons for wanting to be a teacher/tutor. I would want to know all that I possibly can learn about my students' life styles, behaviors, wants, and needs in order to help them achieve and learn as much as possible. I would encourage my students to let them tell me as much as they possibly can about their problems, wants, and needs. I, as a teacher, am a role model to be trusted, and I would like my students to put their faith in me as their leader, role model, and hero.

As a student who has dabbled in so many areas, it is easy for me to assess when a teacher/professor is not explaining a concept in a method that helps the students. I have previous experience tutoring, but my teaching talent comes from my role as the unofficial tutor for ... read more

The task is to create relevancy in a lesson plan. In order to bring relevancy to a topic teachers must be willing/able to determine each student's individual learning style. Not everyone learns the same way. Therefore, not everyone should be taught the same way. It is important to know the strengths, weakness, and interests of a student in order to create connections with the material, delivery, and instructor.
My first experience teaching was as a counselor at an ESL Summer Academy. After graduating, in 2008, I accepted a position as an instructional assistant at a High School in Storrs, Connecticut. When the school year ended, I was offered a contract to work as an English Teacher at an Academy in Korea! I have also been coaching male and female hockey players ages 4-20 since 2003.
