Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Glendale, AZ

Will need to brush up myself, so we'll learn together! My experience in Tutoring is a bit fleeting only having done it in odds and ends; non-professionally at best, but as I see progress in others, it inspires ME to grow. Also knowing that I have helped in some small part further encourages me to help out more. I don't have any track record to speak of but I what I hope to provide for those under my wing is a chance to believe, as motivator Les Brown would say, "It's Possible that I can succeed!" THAT'S what students REALLY need to know. One on One is the ideal method for me as it allows time dedicated to the tutored. It makes them feel special and appreciated and also allows time for coaching and motivation.

In 1999-2000, I provided highly individualized, one-on-one instruction in the client's homes while working with a local tutoring company. I am an experienced educator and state certified instructor with impeccable credentials and a heartfelt enthusiasm for teaching. More recently, I have tutored adults participating in an Adult Literacy Program. I assisted them in their GED preparation in Math and helped them set and reach their short-term educational goals. More recently, I worked with incarcerated individuals preparing them for the GED test, improving their testing skills, and promoting a positive environment for learning. I am actively tutoring students in Pre-Algebra on a weekly basis. Although instructors/tutors have a preferred teaching style, I will often mix in some elements of other styles. If I wish to take a more open approach to my teaching, I include a blend of various style

I have a policy with my students, which I call the three L's: Look, Listen, and Learn. When I teach, I expect them to learn, and I therefore have to make it interesting enough for them to want to do just that. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." Children's minds are like sponges,and one has to make sure the information is good. I try to educate in a way that will help them to read, relate, and realize. I want to be the teacher my students want to remember! I have much experience in tutoring and teaching. I have tutored right from the time I was in college, and taught in the past and present. I have held other jobs, but have always been drawn to teaching like a magnet. I do believe teaching is my forte! My diverse cultural back ground, travels, and experiences, have contributed to an interesting life, that I am able to share in my teaching and interacting with students. I have taught

I have an interest in working with others and helping them to develop their skills. I first began tutoring privately and through extra-curricular organizations. After graduating university, I began teaching. I have taught English for SAT and other college placement exams. I have also tutored elementary and high school students in several subjects, including reading, essay writing, history and social studies. I have also taught French and Spanish. As well, I have a background in excellent performance, with a BA degree in Sociology from McGill, an Ivy League school. I love working with children and adults, and I have taught all types of students from very different backgrounds. I understand that each person has a different way of learning and understanding. It is important to teach each individual in the way she or he best receives the material. I attribute much of my success in teaching

I believe that the possibilities of learning are incredible, especially with understanding the tools of both teaching and learning whether that is textbooks, computers, or something else. It is important to ascertain how a student learns, and adjust to them. I’ve discovered in my teaching of children that it is critical to create a foundation of understanding then build upon it through repetition of the basic ideals while adding to what is already established. Children are amazingly open to new ideas, and take on new challenges with excitement, so it is my job as instructor to guide them in their journey. I also feel that early learning is fundamental to the way individuals learn later in life, so helping children learn how to overcome obstacles becomes a way of expanding their educational possibilities. Throughout my higher educational career, I’ve been driven to learn as much as po

Because of my strong interest in education, I am changing my career field from computer programming to teaching or tutoring. I obtained my second master's degree in Secondary Education two months ago (December 2008), along with teacher certification in Mathematics and Physics. My student teaching experience was at Paradise Valley High School, where I assumed full responsibility for two math classes. While working on my MEd and before this my BS in Physics (May 2007), I tutored math, physics, and astronomy for two years (both high school and college students). I also have BA and MA degrees in Mathematics. While working on these degrees, I taught college math and computer classes part-time for four years, and tutored math for one year. I was named TRiO Tutor of the Year at ASU West in 2008. I love both teaching and tutoring. It is a joy to me to be able to help students learn. I be

I enjoy teaching kids as it also gives me an opportunity to learn a lot from them. In a way by asking doubts they make me think in a different way thereby improving my skills also. I believe that each child has it in him/her to achieve great heights, and sometimes they require a tutor to give them the push to achieve it. I strongly believe that I can give the push they need and make them achieve their goals in life. As a Mechanical Engineering graduate, I have always been interested in learning the different concepts of mathematics used in the design of machines. I have a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering which helped me in understanding many areas of maths and science. I also have a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Syracuse University which further advanced my goals. I n addition to my degrees I have published papers, given presentations and also assisted my prof

I find enthusiasm and interest in the subject taught is very important. If I can convey the interest and fun that I get from working problems and show it through my teaching, students who fear or hate math or any subject tend to rethink their position from a disabled frame of mind to one that exudes confidence in their approach. I have a strong interest in mathematics in the areas of algebra, geometry, and statistics. I have completed 9 credits of statistics and 6 credits of algebra. I can also tutor in business and psychology. I have been working with in academia for the past 3 years and am working towards becoming an adjunct-faculty at the local college.

It is my goal to enhance learning to help your child get their homework done and for them to learn valuable skills along the way. I care about your child's frustration and boredom with homework and understand that success is built on minimizing distractions, breaking each problem down and creating a comfortable, quiet setting. As a graduate of a college known as the Ivy League of the South and a highly ranked business school, I am very driven to teach others to achieve success in their education experience. I have earned my bachelor degree in Accounting while working full time and later went back to school studying medicine. I am now a Tutor in several of the most frustrating and demanding subjects: Accounting, Calculus, Algebra, Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology and Physics. I enjoy teaching and bring fun into all my lesson plans.

I have a BS degree in Biological and Physical Sciences and over 10 years experience in the medical field under my belt. I am also fluent in Spanish and with the combination of my education along with being bilingual, I have successfully tutored close friends and family in the sciences, psychology, English and Spanish. With the extensive amount of research papers and essays I wrote in school, I consider my grammatical skills to be very strong. In my spare time I love to read and write poetry. I am very passionate at everything I do and that includes teaching. I love to share what I know to others and my patient, good hearted nature makes students feel at ease. I am a great listener who offers a fun and interactive environment.

From June of 2005 till January of 2009 I was homeschooling a family of 5 children everyday. I taught them all their basic curriculum as well as art, music, p.e., cooking, Spanish, sign language, health, and safety. When they needed help, I tutored them until they understood the material. From January of 2009 till May of 2009 I student taught in a 5th grade classroom at Aire Libre Elementary School in the Paradise Valley School District. I took over the responsibilities of the entire class by creating and teaching all lessons as well as grading and returning all papers. I have grown up wanting to be a teacher. I love children and I love teaching them. Being able to help a child learn something new that will stay with them for the rest of their lives is very rewarding. I strive to make sure that I am reaching every student in my classroom. In order to do that I believe that my school cu

I have always had a heart to help others become the best that they can be. For the last 2 1/2 years, I have been taking in troubled teens into my home and being directly involved in coaching them to turn their lives around. I was rigorously trained with hands on experience in the Parenting Workshop Institute, and now am not only a life coach to youth, but to their parents as well. I have been trained to learn and work with all personality styles and to coach others how to get along, tolerate, and understand other personality styles with patience, kindness and love. Because I had such a hard time learning and focusing in a regimented, institutional-type learning setting in school, and yet was a brilliant child, I teach extremely well in a relational more relaxed approach. Rather than "shove information down throats" I am interested in each individual, and to get to know their personality

My first teaching experience involved establishing a Title I Kindergarten classroom. Since that first few months of teaching, I have loved working with children at the kindergarten level and teaching them the basics of learning to read and prepare them for 1st grade. I have taken several classes from different universities in teaching reading and methods of teaching. I am a retired teacher, but continue to work with children through volunteer work. I love working with children and am able to communicate with most in a way that produces a secure and encouraging environment. I am patient, easy going, and respect each child's right to express himself in an appropriate way. I believe each child can learn if he is given the appropriate materials, methods, and teacher for his style of learning.
