My comments on tutoring Chess : Play the game. Understand the basics.

I have been teaching in a classroom environment for ten years at the Associate, Bachelor and Master's levels. I have tutored for over fifteen years. My positions included being Business and Accounting Instructor, Program Director of Business and Accounting program and Dean of Education for two different schools. I am a trained facilitator of a student success program taught by the Pacific Institute. I have written lesson plans and created new courses as necessary. My students are from kindergarten to College Level.
I am dedicated to having my customers become successful. I take this very seriously. I am a great listener and understand that every day is not golden and wonderful. I am honest and will give you my input good or bad. I may have materials to assist in the learning process. Also, I will provide instant feedback. I will assist with research, homework and test preparation.

My comments on tutoring Chess : Decent chess player

I have just finished junior year of high school and will be a senior this fall. Throughout my life I have always been especially good at math. I never fail to get an A in math every year. In 10th grade I decided to skip Pre-Calculus from Algebra 2 to AP Calculus BC when I enter 11th grade. Interestingly, I still found AP Calculus BC to be relatively easy. I am the vice president of a tutor club at La Costa Canyon High School. I teach students after school all subjects. I also tutored students outside of school. During my junior year I tutored a girl in Pre-Algebra who did not understand how graphs work. I also tutored a high-schooler in Pre-Calculus two weeks ago who had a final in two days. I came to his house and tutored him for a total of 15 hours (he needed lots of help) in those two days.
Very patient. Usually I will explain the concept, present a practice problem, ... read more

I am passionate about guiding students to discover their learning style, so I provide a variety of analysis and synthesis activities using: modeling; academic vocabulary and language writing projects ; left and right brain activities; interdisciplinary, visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities. Students maintain an interactive notebook in which they maintain a record of different types of note-taking (lecture or reading). Each writing entry is complemented with a variety of processing activities taylored to student learning preferences strengths, and needs. I want students to continually experience the joy of discovery, problem solving, and the pride of achievement, and self-monitoring with my guidance.

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from University of California Riverside and received my bachelor's degree in Mathematics. Not only I gain more understanding in Math, I also spent most of my time with my fellow classmates helping each other for our Math assignments in college. During the spring 2010, I tutored one student who is struggling in Algebra 1 and helped her pass the class.
I love Math, and I would love to have the opportunity to teach children and adults especially students from k-12th grade who are struggling in Math. My teaching style would be to teach Math as simple and understandable as possible. I would also make my teaching style to be fun but my priority is to tutor students to be successful in their education.

A Little Bit About Me...

As recent graduate of the Walter A. Haas School of Business Undergraduate program at UC Berkeley, I developed my ability to thrive in an intellectually stimulating and demanding environment. I developed strong analytical, quantitative, and verbal/written communication skills through participation in classroom discussions, presentations and writing business case analysis reports. I learned to balance informed risk-taking with out-of-the-box thinking through participating/competing in International and National Case competitions sponsored the National University of Singapore, PricewaterhouseCoopers (NY)and UC Berkeley. Since high school, I have also had experience mentoring and tutoring students in literacy and mathematics.
Through participation in professional and community leadership activities, I have honed my attention to detail, leadership and interpersonal skills. As a “Bears ... read more

I have always enjoyed working with children and helping to direct paths thru life. I get along with children very well and am very patient. Children like adults have their strong subjects and weak ones and my style is try to find the strong points of children. It is important at what point a student lost their way, go back and help them get past that point. I want to make a difference in this small amount of time I have on earth.
I received my BS degree in Communications in 1974 and passed my CBEST test in December, 2008. I have been tutoring for over 6 months assisting a student rewriting her term paper. I have also tutored my grandson and younger daughter in high school and college math. I decided to enter tutoring and teaching after realizing how important education is while using my communications ability.

I am available to tutor Spanish, writing, and the LSAT, scoring a 5 on the Spanish Language AP examination, a 4 on the Spanish Literature AP examination, and a 5 on the English Literature examination; I also received a 177 out of a possible 180 on the LSAT; finally, I received a 2300 out of a possible 2400 on the SAT, including perfect 800s on the verbal and writing portions of that test.

A Little Bit About Me...

I completed my MBA and Juris Doctorate while employed full time, married with two children. It has given me insight into the learning process and what is or isn't a distraction. I have taught over 20 years in several community colleges a full range of business subjects while employed in the accounting function. In addition, I published and managed a Law Review and later a sports magazine nationally.
I enjoy use of the Socratic Method but recognize that in the sciences a more pragmatic process is required. Over the years I have concluded that good teaching requires good analysis of which particular approach works for a student and then alter the materials to fit the need.

Well since I graduated from uni, I always wanted to strive for success and do the best I can at everything I do. I earned a Bacculerate degree in History which enabled me to gain a strong and competent knowledge of the past. Most importantly, I believe learning foreign languages at a local college strongly augmented my desire to learn and to realise my dedication for teaching. I'm now learning Russian and French at an intermediate level and ready to assist any beginner/novice students who are introduced to these modules. In addition, I'm also a native Chinese Mandarin speaker. Hence, I know I have the capability to strive for success through teaching and learning.
I love to work and teach children everything I know in a particular subject. I think all children can learn but each in different ways. For me, I'm dedicated to not only help them to learn but also promote my own teaching ... read more

I thoroughly enjoy teaching, especially in a tutoring setting. Being able to work with a student in an environment where I can give them all of my attention really allows me to make a huge impact on them. I believe that in order for a student to learn, the student must gain confidence that he or she CAN learn. I am a very kind and helpful person, and implement a vast array of difference techniques to help a student no matter what type of learning works best for them. I feel it is important to work by doing something you love, and I could not imagine doing anything other than teaching.

I'm very passionate to help kids to be successful in school as well as in life. I've had 6 years of working as Student Aides in all levels of K-12; Math, English, Writing, and Arts, 5 years working as Teacher for Career Colleges: Websters, Phillip Jr., and University of Phoenix; Math, Computer Software Applications, Writing, Professional development, Accounting,Statistic, Student coaching,and Piano.
I'm a big believer of motivation and encouragement. Once the kids are motivated when they feel the bonding, learning success will be achieved in a faster speed. I'd like to talk to the children every day to find out how their days went and their concerns and challenges especially if they feel they're capable of handling of the situation and their ways of doing such.

A Little Bit About Me...

I can promise you three things if hired; I will never be late, I will never no show, and I will be the hardest worker you have ever employed. I strive to be a person of integrity, and I am nothing if not loyal. Though I have not worked as professional tutor, I have time and again found myself instructing and assisting fellow students and family members in various subjects; particularly history. I am a goal oriented person. I was 15 years old on my first day of college. I received an AS emphasis in Japanese from Utah Valley University. I graduated with a BA in International Business from Vanguard University. I am currently in the midst of my final semester of my MFA in producing at Chapman University.
I believe in a life long pursuit of knowledge; a belief I have tried to impart to everyone I come in contact with. I believe in teaching my students HOW to think, not WHAT to thi ... read more
