Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Como, CO

I began as an English major then graduated in Physics with honors, cutting edge research experience in both academia and industry, as a published writer, photojournalist and poet. As a result, I can understand why some very intelligent people who perform well with the arts can sometimes be frustrated by the math and sciences, and vice versa. I have previous experience as a private tutor and trainer in industry settings. I have researched alternative energy and biomedical devices so I can answer the question “Will I ever use this?” by citing real world examples. I teach physics, multiple forms of math and writing. I enjoy watching a student’s face light up with that “Now I get it!” expression. My style is patient, respectful, fair and adaptive. The goal is to find what works well for the student, not take a rigid one-size-fits-all approach that a classroom may employ. I start looking r

My degree in English served me well in my two periods of teaching in South Korea and Chile. In the former, I taught young children through high school age English in private companies in and around the greater Seoul area. In Chile, I mostly taught adults at the corporate executive level, but also did some tutoring of younger children. In my position as 1 to 1 facilitator currently, I work on a wide plethora of topics with my student, such as math, geography, reading, writing and computer skills. I have also worked at Laradon Hall, an alternative school for dual-diagnosis and highly behavioral children, for the better part of two years. I have learned patience and understanding in my trips abroad as well as my time spent with the developmentally disabled here in Colorado. My technique mostly stems from understanding how the student learns and then taking the time to structure lessons th

I am a recent Economics graduate with a Math minor (more than 30 units of math) I've tutored at Jefferson H.S. in Edgewater CO in 2006 and am a former Marine in the communications field with years of instructional experience. I love working with youth and feel very comfortable teaching math up through calculus. My approach is to teach from the ground up, without any assumptions about prior math knowledge. Having been someone who formerly had difficulty with the subject, I can better understand some of the pitfalls that the student may encounter.

My undergraduate degree in biochemistry provides a solid foudation in the sciences such as Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Biology. The reading and writing skills I learned during my course studies further supplemented my overall skill sets, and make me a well rounded candidate for tutoring. I tutored for Denver Relay, a program mentoring and tutoring at-risk children, grades 6-8, in math, science, reading, writing, mentoring, and life skill development. I enjoy working with children, and in one-on-one settings, I find it the most effective. I do demand alot from my students, especially considering the distractions and challenges children face these days. Emphasis on studying and school work remains my focus. I achieve that by a slow, deliberate teaching of methods that I hope the children find useful in the learning process. I focus on core fundamentals and critical thinking ski
