Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Greene, RI

i have been playing chess all my life. I have been in 4 chess clubs through out elementary, middle, and high school. IN 6th grade, I competed against the whole middle school, and came in first place, landing my name on a plaque still in the school. recently i have not been competing much, just leisurely playing for fun I have always been a hands on learner, so that is mostly the way i portray my lessons, by doing, instead of readin. However i also see the need in having to sit down and Get to work, because some thing are better learned on paper i am just a twenty year old college student, Who has learned a lot in this world, and looking to pass it on to whomever it might effect. Very caring, musical, and a great people person. I have mostly learned all my people skills when i was a waiter at T.G.I. Fridays, and that combined with my love of learning brings me to this tutor position

I am currently employed as a technical advisor for Charter Communications for video and Internet. I originally was a math major and a math and history honor student at the University of Houston in the early 70's. I left school to start a family bakery in Vermont followed by award winning bakeries in Northern California and Utah. After retiring from baking, I completed my education at Vermont Tech with a degree in Information Technology. I enjoy passing on my skills and knowledge to others. I have trained many apprentices in baking as a professional and conducted many classes. Every day I am teaching customers how to use their television equipment and their computers correctly. I am very patient and enjoy the rewards of successfully passing on my knowledge to others. Friends call me regularly from all over the country for advise on their computers, video devices and random trivia question

I love teaching and helping students to achieve their education goals. I like to make learning memorable and fun for my students and I encourage critical thinking, analyses, and problem solving over rote memorization. In addition, I recognize Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, and in order to ensure I reach all of the students I teach I use various vehicles of communication whether it be visually, kinesthetically, orally, and so forth. Having had the opportunity to attend Rhode Island College, I was able to learn the most current and effective tools for classroom teaching. I earned my BS in Elementary Education and have had much experience in the classroom teaching various subjects ranging from Science and Math to Social Studies and Reading. In addition I have also had the opportunity to teach overseas in China for a summer, where my students learned English and Communication

I also tutored disabled students at the University of South Florida in writing skills. I held a composition writing component to the Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Program at the Training School Boys. I taught ESL for the Cape Verdean Community Development Center in Pawtucket. I also taught GED classes at the Woodlawn Community Center in Pawtucket.

I use these methods with a dynamic demeanor and with positive re-inforcement remarks on their papers.I learned Portfolio method at the Junior College and have significant results with it. For me, there is no greater passion than to impart to students the desire to want to lea

I believe the key to good teaching is understanding the subject from the student's perspective. As a teacher, it is easy to take for granted certain assumptions and prior knowledge that a student may lack. Each student brings a unique approach and starting point to the learning experience. The teacher's job is to find that starting point and lead the student from there to a place of deeper understanding and knowledge. If a student struggles to understand something, the teacher has probably "skipped a step" somewhere, and omitted some piece of the puzzle that the student does not yet have. When that happens, the teacher should go back to a place of mutual understanding and take smaller steps, being careful to take nothing for granted. My teaching style is especially well suited to a tutoring environment. With a single student, there is all the time I need to find and empathize with

With normal class size groups... the goal is to provide a lesson with real educational content but to deliver it in a totally entertaining format... usually organizing the students into groups to a) provide support for the challenged and b) excitement for the total class as each group competes against the others. one-on-one teaching requires that the objective(s) be well established and then carefully focus on the individual student's best learning method, be it: verbal, written, reading, hands-on, or all of the above. In general a good teacher will be well planned and offers a delivery which teaches in concentrated bursts, with a brief break every 20 minutes. Over 20 years of engineering experience, primarily, automated electronic test for manufacture of electronics. Over 2 years of Masters level engineering in bone density measurement, spectroscopy and neutron detection

With such knowledge, I can also undertake tutoring and support any student who would need help in research writing. I am proficient in APA style and can provide any help with such type of writing and citing style. My teaching philosophy and style is to make sure the student comprehends the basics of any subject before starting any further or advance work. I find that in the sciences, f

I would like to help young people learn from my experiences. I teach practical applications and not just problems from a book, but my students will be well prepared for any type of examination, even the CPA exam. I welcome open discussions about the topic of the day and will never discourage a student from participating. I am a CPA with a Masters Degree in Accounting and I have practiced accounting and finance for my entire 28-year career. I have diverse industry knowledge to share with my students and I am current on today’s accounting standards. I have also been employed in a finance capacity for over 25 years.

I consider my style to be firm but loving. Children know what to expect from me because I'm consistent. I have high expectations of students and they have never yet disappointed me. My teaching hero was Jaime Escalante who taught poor, struggling, barrio students in Los Angeles college level mathematics in the 1980s. One of his beliefs that resonated strongly with me was "Students will rise to the level of expectation." I am passionate about teaching and in the process, inspiring children to reach for their dreams. I have worked with children most of my life and have many years of experience with them, including independently tutoring two elementary students in the early 1990s. I spent two years as a substitute teacher for primarily Groton Public Schools but also Norwich and Waterford Public Schools. I am very good at teaching the foundational basics that an elementary student mus

I feel children are very self-aware and are very vulnerable to positive and negative feedback. Therefore, no matter how little progress is made, praise them. If no progerss is made or if an issue needs to re-addressed, praise them..."That was great, but let's try it this way!" I feel that you are positive, smiling, and they believe that you believe in them, 9 out of 10 kids will follow you! I was more of an instructor than a teacher. I was a day camp counselor at Solway House parent/child resort in Saugerties N.Y. I instructed kids how to swim, dive, play various sports and gave dancing lessons to the guests. As a high school student I tutored 7th and 8th graders in an after school community center. I was one of a few staff at the University of Connecticut to instruct graduates and staff in the use of the various electronic facilites available to them.
