My comments on tutoring Chess : Chess skill comes from much experience in both winning and losing games (obviously). Yet there ARE winning principles that are not generally known. This, then, is what I tutor -- how to mainly win when playing Chess. I have experience in playing Chess since 1949, and I love to teach winning principles to "new minds".

I have been teaching throughout my career, and students learn quickly because of my easy-going style. I have been vetted by WysAnt Tutoring Service. I am an experienced Public Speaker and Toastmaster.

Best Tutoring By Far.....

I started tutoring students middle and high school prior to graduating college. I have taught part-time college students at various institutions since 1996. I also have worked as an independent tutor part-time. I have more than 30 years of experience teaching as a one-on-one tutor and as a college instructor. I currently teach at Wake Tech Community College. I have taught at Strayer University, Campbell University, Mount Olive College, Durham Tech Community College, Central Carolina Community College and Vance-Granville Community College. I have worked with 3 other tutoring companies: University Instrcutors, Advanced Learners and WyzAnt.
I enjoy teaching any age student, but more than that I get satisfaction when that student attains their goal. I believe in using the Socratic method of teaching and allowing the student to get their own answers rather than just telling them. I seek ... read more

I love teaching and working with people. I believe that there is no set teaching style, due to people's indifferance. I believe that because people learn in differant ways, then a teacher/tutor should approach students in many angles.
I believe with my background I should be a good candidate for the tutoring position. I have a B.S. Chemistry from Elizabeth City State University, where I did R&D work with Atrazine. Atrazine is a pesticide that was tested qualitatively and quantitatively using HPLC. I've completed coursework for a M.S. Chemical Physics from Norfolk State University. After being offered a Teaching Assistantship, I taught multiple chemistry laboratory classes. My graduate research focuses on synthesizing organic monomers for Photovoltaic applications; however, I have assisted with research devoted to immobilizing enzymes onto solid supports at the Center for Mate ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am able to diagnose weak points in the student's knowledge and remedy those weak points so that the student is better able to have a full understanding of the content. I believe that most academic difficulties come from small gaps in knowledge and a misunderstanding of how parts relate to the whole.
I have been a counselor in the public schools for the past 16 years, both at the elementary and high school levels. I have tutored students in many subjects; ranging from 3rd grade math to advanced algebra to US History.

A Little Bit About Me...

As an Exstension Safety Specialist, I have had the opportunity to provide youth and adults with needed information to effect a positive change in their lives. Many of the programs involving these clients were requested by the recipients based upon their needs. It was my responsibility to develop various ways for them to reach their goals.
I love to involve children in learning exciting and useful information. I use many different ways, sometimes just talking and gleaning what is on their minds, then planning learning experiences that address these topics. I strive to reach all of my students as they try to gain useful information.

More About This Tutor...

I have a heavily arts-based education and teaching background. I taught for a year in an inner-city school teaching creative movement and dance technique. I have artist teacher training from the Lincoln Center Institute for Arts in Education and have been in-residence at several schools working with children by using the arts as the window to learn their academic curriculum.
I believe it is vital to approach each child with an open mind concerning their learning style, pace, and interest in various subjects. I use tools such as movement, song, rhythm, and sounds to open up a different path to understanding subjects like math, science, grammar, and many others. I believe giving children a bodily experience to relate to their academic learning allows for much more growth and it reduces frustration with themsleves when they don't understand lessons only taught through lecture or w ... read more
