Chess Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Monroe, 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

Hi my name is Jordan Page, I currently work for an after school chess program called KidChess as a head coach. I've been teaching elementary school children for about three years and I love it. I currently have three students that I give private lessons too and I'm looking for more students to share my passion and love for the game of chess. I'm also a veteran tournament rated player achieving a rating of over 1800 and climbing.

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 have been playing chess since my childhood and I am good at it. During my college, I was a finalist in a chess tournament that was conducted on Hogwarts day. I played on the quad with students as chess pieces dressed in corresponding ones. I won all the qualifying games and lost against my Mathematics professor in championship. In my college, it is a glory for my friends to win against me. I play random and strategic. My random play is such that the opponent cannot predict my moves. If the opponent is playing with strategy, I deploy my defense strategy as well as offense. My favorite piece in chess is knight. I involve students a lot during the learning period. I consistently ask them questions about the topic and let them think for a while. I give them as much information as possible so that they do not miss any information while solving problems. I make students write. That is how th

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

I have taught classes for students ranging from high school to adult with course material from the very basic to highly advnced concepts. I was known for covering curriculum material in a through and patient manner. My teaching style could best be described as a pyrimid approach, a firm understanding of basic principles before moving to the next level of complexity. I earned a bachelor of science degree in chemistry with a minor in math. I worked for US Dept. of Agriculture as a methods development chemist which required a knowledge of chemistry, physics, math and statistics as well as high level computer skills. I have taught classes for over 15 years at Athens Area Technical College, University of Georgia Continuint Education Program and as owner and lead trainer for Athens Computer Training, Inc.

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

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 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.

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

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.

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 started studying Early Childhood Education, because I love children, I love teaching them, and I have plenty of patients for them. I have been tutoring at the middle school for 2 years now. I am seeking for jobs outside of the county, because I would like to spread my experience in many other places as well. 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 e
