Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Key Largo, FL

I am able to relate to students using their learning style and references that connect them to the material for better success. I am patient and use my sense of humor to figure out how a student learns to get the best results. I do not believe that one method works for everybody. I have a lot of experience with students with learning challenges. I love it when a student says "Wow." I like to support and reward their path to understanding. It's best when you see that they are proud of themselves and they did it! After graduating with a double major in Psychology and English with an emphasis in Literature, I started my graduate work in English and a teaching position as a high school English teacher. I took education certification courses and passed the state exam for the State of Florida for middle school and high school English. I was an instructional aide for Adult Education at Martin C

My first major mentoring/teaching experience occurred in college when I began leading study groups and eventually organizing tutoring sessions with a number of my fellow English, Calculus, and Physics students. I then obtained a position as a youth counselor with the YMCA and quickly moved up to Site Coordinator where I was in charge of my own after school care group, including being in charge of organizing activities and managing youth counselors. Most recently I underwent PADI Divemaster training where I had real world experience teaching and assisting PADI Open Water students with classroom, confined water, and open water training. My style tends to range based on who I am trying to teach, and I suppose is most accurately labeled as adaptive. I understand that different people learn things in different ways, and so I try to accommodate that with my teaching. For inst

When you are in charge of a group, you need to make sure that group overall has to succeed. While you may want to have everyone in the group to get A’s on all of their assignments, as a teacher, you need to be practical. Like a workshop in a factory or the support staff in a law firm, a classroom is filled with individuals who have different strengths and weaknesses. These differences may show that certain students learn and absorb knowledge in different ways. I think my ability to use a student’s strengths to succeed may ensure a student to strive for high academic achievement. This ability to see a person’s certain talents may also have this student succeed in learning a subject. One example I can recall is when I was in the Navy, I had to train a new shipmate, fresh out of boot camp, to learn the ship’s engineering systems.

I am patient, easy going, and considerate. I know from my own personal experience that a good teacher and teaching experience makes all the difference in a student's motivation and performance, I believe in teaching through discovery and asking questions, this approach guarantees a student will develop his or hers own critical thinking. I am a Systems Engineer who speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese. I have extensive experience teaching computer science, Math, Physics and Elementary Science to students of all ages, I have developed many computer based drills for Math that I use to help my students master Multi, Div, Add and Sub tables, also for mastering expressions and many more. I am very passionate about what I do.

Everyone has a preferred learning style and I believe to effectively assist students it is important to recognize which style works best for them individually. I try to provide hypothetical examples that they will find interesting, based on their own interests or personality. I enjoy being able to help students realize and reach their full potential. I recognize the importance of education, have worked with students from all walks of life, and feel passionate toward helping them succeed. Graduating from the University of Miami with my M.S. in Education, in which I studied Sport Administration, I had the opportunity to study a variety of subjects which can be applicable to various industries in a business sense, while this degree was a study of how these concepts apply specifically to Athletics. I have studied Marketing in addition to Legal Studies in order to obtain my B.S. degree.

I consider tutoring a very important step in for students to achieve their goals in school. As an instructor I have tutored children of all ages, and grades. I believe all children can learn if we adapt the teaching techniques to the specific needs of a child. I have the necessary skills to be patient and considerate with children. My objective is to provide a solid instruction to my students. I believe all children can learn if we, educators, use our imagination and creativity while instructing them. I am prepare to tutoring children of all ethnic and cultural background, and committed to excellence in education. For me failure is not an option. As a student, I love school so much that I went to get a Bachelor of Science in Physic and Astronomy, which prepared me not only to acquire a knowledge of different subjects, such as Math and Science but to help other people with difficulties

I use a style of teaching for people who do not like the subject but know they need it. I show through practical examples how to get through the formulas to get through the test while making sure a detailed understanding of the concepts are being grasped. I would try to put each problem into an example they could relate to. In every case, there is something that student is passionate about, it was my job to find out what that something was and relate the problem to something they were comfortable with. I received my BSEE from the UF and my MBA from FIU. There was a lot of mathematics, Physics with Calculus and Chemistry involved. My college job was teaching Calculus. After my MBA, I went to work in the Finance department. This gave me a detailed understanding of how the accounting and finance departments were setup in a large company. With this knowledge I was able to help in t

First of all patience and expectation in my mind are prerequsites to providing knowledge to a child. One must be a visionary,proactive,taking risks,communicating and listening effectively are essential tools to teaching. I believe teaching requires leadership that can integrate soft human elements with hard business actions. Passion is what I have for our future and that is all of our children. I have over 30 years experince working with children. I am passionate in the fields of psychology history and the arts. I have held leadership positions in Government and Private Industry and served in The United States Air Force. I believe our children are the future and must be cultivated both academically emotionally and spiritually as that is how a leader is born.

I am very passionate about teaching math and science. My approach is very efficient as I engage the students with understanding a purpose and a comprehensive meaning of what they learn. I enjoy working with all age groups since I am very sociable and patient. My ultimate goal is to help students appreciate and discover their talents in math, science, and Spanish. My expertise is in Calculus, physics, and algebra, but I also have strong skills in other branches of math and science as well. My teaching experience began in High School when I started helping my friends with AP Calculus. I currently hold a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering and working towards my master’s degree in biomedical engineering. Engineering has allowed me to understand math and the physical sciences in greater depth. Throughout my college years, I have helped my siblings and friends in understanding math an

I hold a B.S. in Mathematics and am currently working on an M.S. in Applied Mathematics. I have over five years experience as a peer tutor at the College level covering a range of subjects including remedial math, CLAST prep, College Algebra, Finite Math, Social Choice Math, Discrete Math, Calculus I-III, Business Calculus, and Differential Equations. I have one year experience as a Middle School Math Teacher, teaching grades 6-8 the district-mandated curriculum for MDCPS, which is focused on preparing students fo FCAT success. My teaching style is mathematically minded. I break down concepts of any subject into simple algorithms that are easy to follow, then organize information into easy-to-remember categories. Specifically for mathematics, I have found that hands-on projects assist students in retaining essential concepts necessary for further study, and I have a wealth of resource

My style is deeply rooted in Vygotsky’s theory of cognitive development. The ideas of scaffolding, cooperative learning and fostering students’ zone of proximal development should be well represented when teaching because they have been shown to work. Also Bloom’s Taxonomy of higher order questioning and comprehension is important in judging students’ understanding and should always be in the back of the mind when teaching. Students display a spectrum of idiosyncrasies and characteristics, and one-size-fits-all model of education is not only inappropriate but also counterproductive in that it does not do justice to culturally and linguistically diverse students. Therefore lesson that are rich in Brown’s principles of learning, teaching and cultural awareness and diverse activities from visual and audio to labs and traditional paper and pencil assignment will be much more effective

After completing a special project in the University working with children, I realized that my purpose in life was to nurture and educate children. Through education, I am able to not only raise certainty and self-esteem, but also prepare our younger generation academically for a successful and promising future. By observing and evaluating what your child needs to accomplish academic goals, I am able to provide that special attention and hands-on experience to help him/her achieve effective learning. An important ingredient that I use in successful teaching is to provide the child with study skills and tools along with vocabulary building for future academic success, those that he/she will take and use for the rest of their lives. At Florida International University, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Health Science and used that knowledge to complement my professional experience as a 6th

Teaching is fun and satisfying. When I work with students I challenge them as much as I can, because I have found that students not only step up to the challenge, but exceed my expectations. I like to reward the students I work with, give constant encouragement, and let the students know how much I appreciate their attention and willingness to learn and change. When I tutored Algebra and Spanish I would go through multiple examples with the students, and then encourage them to look back at their notes or in the book when doing problems on their own. I found that once they felt like they figured out the questions on their own they had much more confidence. When I worked with students who wrote for me at the newspaper, I would sit down with them and re-edit their articles and say why I was making changes out loud and encourage the students to ask me any questions about the changes I made
