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

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 take what I learn from teaching and apply it to my own studies- having patience and upholding the responsibilities of being a student. 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 curri

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 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 explaining everything in depth and watching the student work is the best approach. No two students are alike therefore my teaching style is different for each student. 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

I am a Georgia State University Graduate of 2008. I got my masters of science from there and am now looking to disperse my knowledge to others. I excel in biology and other science related fields. I have most recently taught labs for Georgia State University in the field of microbiology. My teaching style is very goal oriented. I do love to teach and am very patient on teach subject matter. I don't believe in pushing through subject matter when a student does not have the basic knowledge needed for success in the future. I am passionate about my ability to teach others and take the fact very seriously that what I am teaching today will brighten the lives of many in the future.

Over the past ten years I have gained experience in education. As a high school student I volunteered to work at a couple schools. Shortly thereafter I began working as an after school tutor. I've worked in summer camps and currently work as a substitute teacher. My teaching style is simple, whatever it takes! Working in the school system has given me the opportunity to work with all types of learners. Some students do well with a quick learning session, others work at a slower pace. I believe that teachers should work in conjunction with parents to tap into the nature of their childs learning habits and then utilize this information to make a comprehensive plan of action.

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.

I get to know the children first then get them involved in the assingment with eagerness and excitement. Then the children are to go and show off their knowledge. That way they will know it much better than before. The knowlege is input into the student's brain, and then I have them output the knowledge; therefore it is being repeated, and instilled more and more into their brain everytime. I love to see children eager to learn, and even better try. I push the students who are struggling so that they will not get stepped on. I motivate them, and have them motivate theirselves and others around them. I give the students materials that they already know, and then start building from there. My belief is every student has a chance to succeed. I have changed my major a few times from Music therapy, to music, to music education, then finally I just decided that I just wanted to do education. I

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 speak clearly so others can understand me; my ability to develop creative ways to solve a problem; my ability to apply general rules to specific problems to produce answers that make sense; my experience plus my genuine desire to make math more understandable and enjoyable equals a successful teacher. 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

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. 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.

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 working with all age groups and believe that anyone can learn anything. It's just a matter of finding the way for things to make sense. Every brain works differently and I have experience in simplifying complex problems in order for the students to better understand them. I like working one on one as well as tutor in groups. During college I have tutored numerous classmates in various chemistry courses as well as math and science outside the university. Never have I given up on a student for not understanding the material. If anything we worked harder and more to find ways to understand the materials. 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 m

Students have a gift for learning, but difficulty in applications. I have a very special way of working with children to understand underlying problems with their personal difficulties in learning, strategically show students new applications and memory skills to use to increase comprehension, thus the student understands and is motivated to learn. I make learning fun, hands-on, and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Students see progress and are intensely energetic to learn more. I have taught AP Physics, AP Biology, Chemistry, and Ecology for 10 years, taught MG Science, 5th grade, Kindergarten and Pre-K. I am GA State certified and on the state Literacy/Comprehension Board, and Special Ed endorsed. I have tutored all levels of students to include gifted, ELL, ESOL, and special challenged students. Subjects taught include from Pre-K math, reading comprehension, phonics, to elementa
