Chess is one of my top subjects! I can teach students anywhere from beginner up to those starting serious tournament play.

I have been playing chess for close to seven years, many of those at the tournament level. I was a natural when I started, and have only grown in my concepts of the logic and theory of the game. I am also a published author, and can easily teach any student to understand writing in new ways so that they can improve not only the accuracy but the style of their writing.
I prefer to work with students one on one, getting a sense of their skill level, and then engaging with them where they are at to help them work towards their own personal goals.

What a better way to teach your teen than by a teen?

I graduated high school in late October of 2012. I am not currently in college. I am working twords bettering my future. I enjoy helping others and I find it easy. I used to be tutored and I hated it because the tutors seemed to not care if I got it. I make sure the person or people I am tutoring understand and remember how to do what I am asked to teach them. In high school my teachers used to send me to other classes and tutor kids in the middle of class. I am extremely flexable and can help just about anyone I try to teach. I will not say every because no one is perfect and I'm not going to pretend I am.

My teaching style changes with my perception of a student's needs. My goal is to show students the path by which they can come to answers themselves. In discussing the subject matter with a student, I can gain a solid understanding of what he or she is capable. Using my patience and ability to effectively describe complicated concepts with analogies and visual aids, I have had great success. I care deeply about students with whom I interact, and I feel greatly rewarded when I have helped a student exceed expectations.
I have enjoyed each experience I have had with teaching, beginning with an informal position as a study group leader in the Genetics course I completed at Penn State University. While working on my MS at the University of Tennessee, I taught lecture and outdoor laboratory sessions for the Ornithology course, which included about 30 students. As the coordinator of the ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Any subject can be difficult to master. Each of us brings something different to learning. A tutor may enjoy spectacular success in the short term by applying behavior management principles. I believe that a student’s long- term interests are best served where trust and pleasure in individual differences are established. The teacher’s challenge, as I understand it, is to weave what fires the imagination of the student into the process. Building a birdhouse may, for example, be the portal to the world of geometry. When subject matter is personally meaningful, it is intrinsically interesting and learning is exciting. The inspired student develops lifelong competence.

A Little Bit About Me...

While attaining a BS in Mathematics at Penn State University, I was heavily involved in peer tutoring. For two semesters I spent 10-20 hours per week working one-on-one with students struggling or seeking a higher level of success in courses ranging from pre-algebra to calculus 2. Though I've never tutored a physics student, I've taken several course and am well enabled to tutor in this area as well. Additionally, I acted as a supplemental instructor for calculus 2. In this role I attended lectures to gauge class progression. I met twice a week with its students to ascertain their personal understanding and tailored my lectures and help sessions accordingly.
I believe the first key to learning is enthusiasm. I like to offer real world applications and display my own enthusiasm to instill a positive attitude towards learning in each child. After that foundation is established, I fee ... read more

It's imperative to listen and understand a students challenges. Reviewing their previous work and giving a current test is a good indicator of the situation. I believe in practice and examples as the clearest path to success. I don't hand deliver answers and I make the process towards answers engaging. I make sure the time and place are conducive to active and non-distractive learning. I relay the importance and relevance of the material. I recap previous lessons and try to integrate them into current assignments. I always value and respect people and expect the same of my students.
I have trained students in a laboratory, restaurant and in the home. I graduated from college with honors and have succeeded in statistics, algebra 2, calculus 1, biology 1, chemistry 1, English literature, professional writing, civics, sketching/painting and classical guitar

I always tried to keep my approach as grounded as possible so that even my least talented tutees could grasp the task at hand. For instance, I feel it important to always sound out the words on a page, making sure the words flow smoothly off the tongue and not just in the mind. I do this so that the writing style, while formal, is also practical and easily accessed by the student as they write. I also feel it best to not focus too strongly on a student's weaknesses, but to feel out their strengths so that they may use those strengths to really work out their difficulties. I try to make a student not have to rely to strongly upon a tutor, but to, after not too long, walk away with the ability to tutor themselves better.

A Little Bit About Me...

I entered college in my late twenties and have been involved in some aspect of learning ever since. I was able to complete my BA in Psychology and Religion as Cum Laude and my MA in Counseling Psychology with a similar GPA. Since graduating I have had the opportunity to work with children and adolescents in a counseling capacity which often mirrors mentoring, teaching and leading. I obviously have experience in psychology and religion. As well, I have extensive experience in writing for my career, assessments, treatment plans, progress notes, etc, and in school with the many research papers, summaries, reviews, etc. This has allowed me to hone my grammatical skills, comprehension and analytical skills.
My experience working with children is in the area of those with mental health issues, most of which have learning disabilities as well. I love my work and I love children. I ... read more
