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. Throughout the course of ... read more

I have demonstrated competence in successfully managing a profitable retail business. The necessary skills are invaluable. They can be used now in a classroom to help me become one of the best teachers/tutors in your school system. I have knowledge of: computer programming, software knowledge, accounting, care and maintenance of buildings, physical structures, and equipment, etc. A teacher with these accomplished skills now has the necessary ammunition to acquire ways to have children learn in a positive manner and to encourage them to do their best. I just recently started substituting again in my own local district.
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. ... read more

I really enjoy working with children with various learning styles and abilities. I'm a patient, open-minded, empathic listener whose focus is the development of your child's potential. I strongly believe that building self-confidence is vital for each individual. By being self-confident, one is more sure of himself, and can gain a higher sense of self-esteem. By being taught through positive motivation, teachings, and feedback, each student will become more self-confident and have a positive attitude with any situation he or she may encounter.
I recently completed my thirteenth year of full-time teaching in the state of Michigan. I taught all subjects at the sixth grade level for eleven years for a public school.

I entered college in my late twenties and have been involved in some aspect of learning ever since. I was able to complete my BA in Psychology and Religion as Cum Laude and my MA in Counseling Psychology with a similar GPA. Since graduating I have had the opportunity to work with children and adolescents in a counseling capacity which often mirrors mentoring, teaching and leading. I obviously have experience in psychology and religion. As well, I have extensive experience in writing for my career, assessments, treatment plans, progress notes, etc, and in school with the many research papers, summaries, reviews, etc. This has allowed me to hone my grammatical skills, comprehension and analytical skills.
My experience working with children is in the area of those with mental health issues, most of which have learning disabilities as well. I love my work and I love children. I ... read more

I have a range of experiences which help make me a superior candidate to tutor. I have lived and studied in Barcelona, Spain. During this experience I learned a lot about Spanish culture and brought my Spanish to a mastery level. I lived with a host family which gave me the opportunity to become more involve with Spanish culture and their traditions. Upon returning from Spain, I finished my degree at SUNY Oswego with two semesters of student teaching.
I have a very unique teaching style in that I like to incorporate many different presentation methods and I am a firm believer of teaching to multiple intelligences. No two students learn the same way and if the student is not learning the teacher is just as responsible as the student. This being said I have used many different teaching methods from having the students performing, and singing to setting up shops to buy and sell produc ... read more
