Tariq R. - Buffalo, NY 14228 (27 mi) - Chess Tutor - $35.00/hr.
I am a firm believer in relating education to the real world. This philosophy transcends into my teaching style. I make it a mission to ensure my students understand what they're learning rather than simply memorizing it to pass a test. I want my students to not only learn the subject matter but develop a fundamental understanding of what it takes to succeed in school, college, and the real world.
As a recent grad, there are so many lessons I have learned throughout my academic and early professional career that I wished someone had taught me. I will do my best to make sure my students learn those lessons well in advance of actually needing them.
All in all, I will help my students develop a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. I have 8 year of professional experience in public practice, corporate accounting, and consulting. I have done everything from external and

Stephen C. - Buffalo, NY 14222 (34.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $30.00/hr.
I love to play chess. Laid back, approachable with a sense of humor. I received my B.A. in humanities with a minor in Spanish from Buffalo State College in 2009. I studied English, Philosophy and Spanish mostly. I have a lot of experience in writing, critical analysis of literature and basic Spanish. I also hold a TESOL certification from Oxford Seminars. A TESOL certification is an international certification which certifies you to teach English as a second or other language. I have over a year in experience teaching ESL both here in the United States and in South America. I believe I have a good understanding of the technicalities of the English Language and would be ideal for a student struggling with grammar and writing.

Zachary L. - Rochester, NY 14616 (34.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $16.00/hr.
Introduction, Mastering the Pieces, Tactics, Opening Principals, Pawn Structure, Evaluation of Position, Endgame Evaluation. "Chess lessons" are usually just that, chess lessons. I think that there are more dynamics to teaching chess than just moving the pieces. Most chess lessons for beginners, start with an introduction to chess. I teach this way too, but everything I am able to teach starts with respect. Every person should understand and accept that they will not always win. They must also accept that they may not always play their best. They must also respect their opponent. So often chess "coaches" forget about these key elements and life lessons. Tradition and culture are important to me and my style of teaching. With these few elements, learning is fun and the teaching is effective.
Prime teaching focuses are:
1) Introduction to chess
a) Learning the chess board
b)

Gregory J. - Rochester, NY 14616 (35.1 mi) - Chess Tutor - $25.00/hr.
I have a holistic, eclectic style of Teaching. When I work with any student,or students, I always determine what proficient level they are at.If they are having any problems grasping the subject, I must do diagnostic testing to remediate at progress from that point forward. When the student has reached a level of proficiency,he or she may move on to whatever subect,or level that pertains to. Yes, each student is unique and can reach their full potential under the right guidance encouragement,and support. Yet, I firmly believe that all students must master the fundamentals, no matter what subject. As a private school and state school graduate,I recieved a broad and varied background in higher education.I taught at two Catholic Schools. I have performed also as a substitute teacher with the experience of teaching at most grade levels and subjects. I have also performed Homebound Teaching f

Daniel O - Holley, NY 14470 (17.6 mi) - Chess Tutor - $48.00/hr.
As a mechanical engineering graduate with 3 years of practical experience in the field, I am constantly curious of the world around me and take great delight in sharing and imparting that knowledge in others. The degree itself grounds me firmly in the math and science worlds - everything from basic skill sets in geometry and HS science to advanced level calculus and physics. Growing up with an English/ESL teacher for a mother and participating in various speaking competitions gives me a good background in English and language arts, both oral and written. I have tutored both as a volunteer and as a paid employee for various offices on the Rochester Institute of Technology campus as well as several programs in New Mexico, this along with growing up with a teacher gives me a good background in teaching skills and tactics. I tend to work well with individuals and small groups, independent o

Sandra K - Bergen, NY 14416 (24.1 mi) - Chess Tutor - $48.50/hr.
As a literacy volunteer I was awakened to a deep desire to achieve my degree in a career in the helping profession. This profession opened doors for a career change in education. I embraced the challenges of a teacher/professor for students ranging from kindergarten to senior citizens, both in the class room setting and one-on-one tutoring in the home settings and community programs. Teaching continues to be the common thread that binds my life experiences with the core person I continue to grow into. I love working with people of all ages and from a verity of cultures in an educational setting. I firmly believe that every person can learn but that each person has a dominate and secondary learning style of their own. In order to enhance learning for the student, I enjoy the challenge of developing and implementing lesson plans to match the students learning style. My teaching exper

Adam C - Williamsville, NY 14221 (24.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $46.00/hr.
I have been tutoring and teaching since I entered college. I have helped multiple friends of mine through difficult classes that they needed for their degree. I have held many study groups for difficult upper level math classes that my peers struggled with. I was a teacher assistant for Calculus 1 where I held the largest study group on all of campus. The same thing happened as a student teacher at Amherst Middle School. I have taught private piano lessons to students from the ages of 6 - 13 for the last 3+ years. I also teach the word of God in 2 separate Bible studies and to my entire church every Sunday during the Sunday school class. I would say that the greatest personal attribute that the Lord has given me when it comes to teaching is patience. I allow the student the time that it takes them in order for them to "get it" without pressuring them. I also like to make the mate

Debra A - Amherst, NY 14228 (25 mi) - Chess Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I have tutored students both with and without learning disabilities. In my 15 years as a teacher in elementary and high school, and as a tutor, I have covered math through algebra and geometry,biology, geography/history, chemistry and physics. I am capable of tutoring college level courses in math and science, too. I believe each person is capable of learning, and that a report card can be improved by learning 'how to learn'. I use manipulatives, white boards, games, and music to tap into those areas of the brain that best respond to learning the material. Tutoring time should be a time for children/adults to anticipate with joy, not fear. Bringing out your academic best is my number one goal for you and/or your child. I have been a teacher and tutor for over 15 years, specifically in private schools. The first student I tutored (as an elementary student) has graduated from dental

Mark K - North Tonawanda, NY 14120 (27.7 mi) - Chess Tutor - $40.00/hr.
I gained my first permanent employment as a tutor five years ago, in the beginning of my sophomore year, in the Canisius College Tutoring Center and held this position for three years until graduating in 2008. In my senior year I gained employment as a tutor/mentor for several government-funded high school tutor/mentor programs including GEAR UP through Canisius and Upward Bound through D’Youville. Finally, I was able to capitalize on my experience tutoring by landing my current position as educational coordinator for a 21st Century Program at the Father Belle Community Center. As educational coordinator, I tutor, direct other tutors, and arrange for the provision of life skills courses. I am a versatile tutor, with experience in a wide range of subjects. I can tutor nearly any high school subject, including English, history, biology, chemistry, earth science, and algebra. Furthermo

Salvatore N - Hilton, NY 14468 (28.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $47.00/hr.
My underlying belief and philosophy is that all students can learn, and should be allowed to do so in the environment that best suits their own particular learning style. I have a vast knowledge of teaching and learning, and a strong sense of what good teaching looks like. I have developed my own easy going, student centered, and hands-on approach to teaching, and design lessons that answer the inevitable question from students, “When am I ever going to use this stuff?” This simple question drives me as I plan and carry out these lessons, and allows students to actually use what they are learning in the context of real life situations and settings. In my 23 years as a teacher and administrator, I have been involved in all aspects and levels of education including teaching all grades K-12, instructional and curriculum leadership, professional development, building management, community

Richard R - Tonawanda, NY 14150 (30.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $47.00/hr.
I love trying to help children gain knowledge. I believe anyone is capable of learning something new no matter how old they are and that patience and the use of deductive knowledge are they key's to having someone develop their knowledge. My method of teaching will evoke these attributes as well as reptition so that not only will your child know the material I am tutoring by the time that I am done, but it will also become routine to them. My main goal will be to teach them to know how to reason and analyse themselves while guideing them to make the right choices on their academic work. As a UB graduate, I was very driven to learn the most I could in the areas of humanities and social sciences. I have earned two bachelor degrees, BA in History and BA in Political Science. With history, I wrote many essays that required me to decipher large amounts of kryptic writing aging back from thous

Orlean T - Rochester, NY 14624 (34.6 mi) - Chess Tutor - $45.00/hr.
As a Research Scientist in Corporate America, I took the opportunity to focus on enhancing the math and science education of high, middle, and elementary school students. In addition to hands-on classroom activities, I was involved in the Program In Rochester to Interest Students in Science and Math (PRISSM), judged Science Fairs and Science Competitions. Because of my goal of enhancing student achievement, I have taught Chemistry at the Junior College level for the past eight years. I love the appreciation of English Literature and English Grammar as well and so, upon retirement, have taught French and Latin to students in middle school and high school. The word student comes from the Latin to be eager, and I love to instill the love of learning, n eagerness to learn, in children. The education or drawing out of a child's mind is the ultimate goal, and doing so in a disciplined yet
