Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Earth City, MO

I can teach your child the basics of chess such as piece movement, basic strategies, etc. I have taught for many decades and use a variety of teaching styles since all students learn differently. I am more of a 'traditional' style teacher, realizing that the basics are vital. I am a visual learner myself, but realize that my students may not. I always teach so that all students learn..using visual,hands on, and auditory presentation of material. I am extremely thorough and endeavor to be sure my students have mastered a concept before moving on to more complex topics. I ALWAYS make what I am teaching relevant to the students...showing them how they will use what we are learning in a real life situation. This not only makes it more interesting, but the students enjoy seeing real life situations in which they can use some of the more obscure topics such as fractions, etc. I make

I have a teaching experience of more than 6 years. Teaching is my passion, so dedicate myself completely while teaching. I have an experience of teaching students of various age groups. At present I am teaching Maths in Aloha. While teaching I make it a point that the students have a very clear concept on the subject. After I make the student understand about the topic, I make it a point to provide them with enough of practice work based on that topic so that they are clear with all the confusions.

As a post graduate, I was very much driven to achieve a level of excellence in education. I have earned a bachelors degree, BE in Electrical Engineering and a Masters Degree in Information Systems, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. In addition, I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and laboratory reports, along with essays in many various areas of study. During the last 3 years i have tutored students in Mathematics, Computers and Sciences. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn but each in different ways. I'm available to help you child find academic success. I'm patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible.

As a tutor, I understand my responsibility primarily as that of helping children reach their potential. I try to help my students understand concepts they are struggling with in primarily three ways. First, I find what their strengths are and see if I can extend understanding of these concepts to the one's they are struggling with. Secondly, I use many examples of a concept to break complex math down into simpler, concise ideas and problem-solving techniques. Third, I try a number of different conceptual approaches to determine which is the most useful for a particular student. As a student at the University of Chicago, I have tutored at the local Ray Elementary school through the Neighborhood Schools program. There, I tutored two fourth grade ESL students, an Italian boy and a Korean girl, primarily in math and reading. I have also tutored at the STRIVE tutoring center, helping a

My first teaching experience was as a high school senior where I was given the opportunity to teach a small group of 5th graders as part of the Missouri A+ program. We began with division, quickly moving into linear and nonlinear algebra, before touching on the fundamentals of complex numbers, graph theory and trigonometry, before concluding with a derivation of the quadratic formula and its applications. I spent three semesters as the academic chair for my fraternity enforcing study hours for fraternity brothers with lower GPA’s; tutoring students in algebra, calculus, physics, and computer science, among other fields. I have also had five years of experience in Latin up to the college level with one year of Japanese. I believe that every student can meet his or her potential provided that the subject matter is presented in a way that makes sense to them and that any material can be

Having attended Vanderbilt University for both undergraduate and graduate studies, I have consistently shown that not only do I strive towards excellence in education, but also that I am highly capable of achieving it. I have been able to transfer my knowledge to others using strong interpersonal skills that I obtained through my degrees. I have also mentored/tutored adolescents with both learning and physical disabilities through volunteer work with my local MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) chapter and through an internship in psychology as an undergraduate. Primarily I have tutored in math, however I have also prepped students for the GED and have a fairly wide breadth of knowledge for tutoring. Working at the Nashville Transition Center, essentially a half-way house for children aged 12-18 with criminal and/or troubled backgrounds, my senior year of college changed my outlook o

I especially enjoy working with students who want to learn, and I truly love math. I know that math concepts are especially difficult for many students to grasp. I feel confident in my approach to assist students in meeting and exceeding their goals. I am a patient, caring person, anxious to make a difference in the lives of my students. For the past eight years I have worked in a mentor/tutor capacity with focus on mathematics, physics and astronomy. This experience has included college level, high school and middle school students.
