Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Lawrenceville, GA

My teaching style is a mixture of strict and lenient. I try to form a connection with students and apply that to my teaching method (i.e. incorporating a similar hobby in a question in order for the student to understand the material better). I expect my students to give me and the other students respect- never speaking while others are speaking, no disruptions, ect. This method of teaching has shown effective and a fun learning environment. I base my curriculum around the importance of reading. Reading is the easiest and most effective way of obtaining knowledge and using it in the world. I have had the honor of working with many kids in regards to a variety of fields. My experiences taught me responsibility, patience, the importance of learning and education, and much more. The various teaching opportunities I have been fortunate to have have impacted my social and educational lives; I

I'm an experienced chess player that has been teaching children chess for about a year now. I work part time for Kid Chess, a company that provides chess lessons to Elementary Schools across Georgia. With them I have prepared many lessons for groups and have given individual instruction to children too. My experience with Kid Chess has taught me how to instruct children in the basics of the game, and my time there has shown me how to give lessons to more experienced students too. Although I mainly teach children, I am more than comfortable teaching adults and teenagers too. Anyone who whises to learn chess from zero, or any beginner who wants to improve is welcome.

I was taught chess at age four and have been playing ever since. I played throughout school but I have never competed outside of a school setting. I have just finished law school. I grew up in Brazil as well as the United States which allowed me to become fluent in Portuguese as well as English without any accent. I enjoy computers and have learned many programs inside and out throughout my lifetime. Through college I took every computer class I could and even learned how to create a webpage using HTML formatting. I learned many skills as well to improve my chances of entering into Law School such as study skills and typing skills. I like to formulate individual teaching styles based on my students. Not everyone learns the same and therefore I do not teach the same to each student. Sometimes students require my constant attention and encouragement. Other times taking a step back and expl

I feel that teaching will not only inform young minds to think differently or make them more motivated to learn. But to allow one to master his or her knowledge in general, teaching allows oneself to fully understand the subject in their own minds. Young minds such as children are easily impacted by an adult, which I feel that that should be influenced with positive, enjoyable learning. Allowing a young mind to like learning or studying will allow them to become very motivated individuals in life. I will only strive to make a positive difference in a child's life and let them enjoy the simple discoveries of learning. Being a Georgia Southern graduate, I learned to enforce high level thinking and appreciation of education. I received a bachelor degree in Civil Engineering Technology, which has enabled me to get a feel of hands feel in the area of math and science. With previous work

Teachers have the ability to provide inspiration and motivation to students to encourage them to be the best they can be in and out of the classroom. That is why I would like to become an educator in the Georgia School System. I want to make a difference in the world by empowering students to make a difference in the world. Teaching is an opportunity that I do not take lightly. Working with students to provide confidence, social skills and an intellectual capacity required to compete in college and the global marketplace is top priority. Having worked as an Information Technology Professional, I have gained various experience that would be very useful in the Education Industry: My ability to communicate information and ideas in speaking so others will understand; my ability to listen to and understand information and ideas presented through spoken words and sentences; my ability to

I taught college-level students in the classroom and in an aquatic environment for three years. I also taught aspiring instructors on an ad hoc basis during that period. I have classroom experience with high school children in a special education setting, involving an extreme amount of patience and a willingness to find different ways in which to impart learning on non-traditional students. I believe in short-term goal attainment. I first assess what the student feels they know, then look at what needs to be learned and from that I build a goal-oriented task set that should result in a learned skill set. I am also very good at thinking outside the box in order to get the skill set learned and to effect "true learning" as opposed to parroted learning.

After teaching for 25 years, the first and most important element of interaction between a student and a teacher is one of mutual respect. The student wants the teacher to listen to their needs and concerns, and the teacher wants to be respected for his/her wealth of knowledge through experience. This is built through patience and understanding. A personal relationship is also helpful in tutoring, more on the level of a parent or adult friend. As a member of the Golden Key Honor Society in Education at Queens College in Flushing, NY I excelled at all the subjects I took pertaining to Elementary Education. I have a full awareness of the importance for structure and flow within an essay. Voice is sometimes overlooked, but is equally essential in representing the author's conviction to the subject matter of their work.

I enjoy helping student evolve by providing a different way of receiving information and simple follow up techniques to assure reception and retention of information. I have worked with children and adults and enjoy the opportunity to encourage a student who feel that all hope is loss. We can all do better when we have the support of someone who recognizes our frustrations yet redirects our attention to smaller areas of strength that we can build on. For the previous 12 years I have enjoyed a career in education. I have taught a variety of subject matter from Reading, History, Science, Math and even Spanish for grade levels ranging from Prek to 11th. I am currently certified in 2 states for Elementary, Middle School and High School grades for Special Education and Language Arts and History. Over the past 10+ years I have tutored both privately and for agencies such as princeton review.

Not all children are the same. It takes time to learn a child's individual learning curve. I am able to channel this into a positive and FUN learning experience. I believe that all kids can accomplish what they put their mind too but they just need someone who will set them on a straight path. Sometimes kids need one on one teaching to get the lesson through their heads. For the past 2 years i have helped children from K-5th grade with all types of homework from English to Social Studies to Math. I love helping kids understand thoroughly what they are learning in school. I also like to make it fun.

I am an experienced tutor in math and various sciences (mainly chemistry), with over three years of tutoring experience. Currently I tutor privately and at a tutoring center. I have a Bachelors Degree in Chemistry and am very skilled with Science and Math. Having graduated top of my class, tutoring others comes natural to me. I enjoy helping people further their education. I am very good at teaching Mathematics (Algebra I & II, Trigonometry, Geometry, Calculus, SAT/ACT/CRCT prep), Science (Chemistry and Physics). "Most of my students have seen progress after only one session." It gives me great pleasure to see students do better in their subjects they are struggling with. Everyone can learn the material, it's just a matter of finding the way it makes sense to you. Everyone's brain works differently. I enjoy working with all age groups and believe that anyone can learn anything. It's
