My comments on tutoring Chess : I was taught as an adolescent.

My method of tutoring is to work with students where they are and add to their skills, to accomplish the final outcome, preferably an "A" or "B." Some students are visual learners and some are informational learners, or some students combine the two. The potential I see in students is what I try to bring out and have them realize they are capable of going a step further, to reach their goal. The importance of education and the students' continuance of same cannot be stressed enough.
I started out tutoring elementary students in basic math and English grammar while I attended college part time in the 1980's. I continued tutoring young students and adults in the 1990's, tutoring Basic Math, Basic and Intermediate Algebra, Basic Geometry, English Composition, Speech, Study Skills and the Sciences. In addition, tips were given to enhance test-taking skills in hard-to-Ace subjects ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is simple: get the kids involved. Make the subjects relevant to them. While working as a paraprofessional in a Detroit charter school, I created a number of different lesson plans that attempt to get the children interested in a subject that doesn't readily lend itself to progress. For example, I created a lesson plan tying mathematical functions with NBA stars such as Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. A teacher acts a creative facilitator, one who inspires kids to want to learn and creates an energy within the student or class. I feel very strongly that I can help students succeed in the classroom, and I possess a number of different qualities such as humor, creativity, positivity, and energy.
While I earned a degree in both history and group social studies, I feel I am well-versed in other areas. I currently work at a charter school in Detroit as a math paraprofessi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have an experience of over 10 years as professor of mathematics at all levels of education(k5-k12),including preschool. I worked all this time as a tutor as well, knowing the issues the kids can have and got the necessary experience to help them overcome those issues.
I like the work I do and love working with children. I strongly believe that every child can learn to think mathematically, but each in different ways.To learn mathematics is to work hard and persevering,that's why my motto is "1% inspiration and 99% perspiration (work)

A Little Bit About Me...

I value certain aspects of teaching methodology not necessarily emphasized in previous generations. I view teaching as a highly dynamic process. In regards to my own views of teaching, I think learning must be interesting and fun. A teacher will not only be a guide on the path to a better understanding of difficult concepts, he will also be a motivator to stimulate open minds. Finally, I believe that knowledge is a right for all. As a teacher, I will be on the front line accomplishing what I feel society needs most: a more educated workforce and students more prepared for their professional careers
At the present time I am working at the University of Michigan as a Research Lab Specialist Lead. Beside research this position enables me to interact with students and teach them the biologic basic skills. I am challenged to be creative, nurturing and most of all, patient. During ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I can’t imagine myself not spending the rest of my life teaching. I have worked both in the educational field and the corporate world and without a doubt I know with whom my heart belongs. As a tutor at an Ann Arbor based institution I had the opportunity to work with a number of different backgrounds and styles of learning. I aided a varying degree of students needs such as: grammatical usage, content flow and structure, topic generation, sentence structure, MLA/APA implementation, research methods, written language norms, etc. I have great passion for both education and learning which I hope to share with every student with whom I work. I believe every student is cable of producing a positive educational outcome if given the proper tools and encouragement. Not all students comprehend material in the same way, I believe it is up to educators to help their students recognizes their stren ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I think the best way to teach is to show students how they can break down problems and find answers to questions that may, at first glance, seem overwhelming. I have yet to meet someone who is incapable of grasping a subject, and I am able to stay calm and remain patient as students begin to expand their knowledge in areas that are new to them. While I am not able to learn things for a student, my job as a tutor is to provide them with the encouragement, support, and knowledge that I have so that they can obtain an understanding of their subject.
As a recent college graduate, the stress, confusion, and (ultimately) joy involved in the attempt to master new subjects are fresh in my memory. While nothing can replace experience, I believe that being young provides me with an edge over those older than me when it comes to connecting with students. I have tutored a wide range of stu ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My experience has been tutor/volunteer work during my 4 years of college and some post work. I love to teach my students using things that matter to them. Explaining a word problem using candy or food helps student relate to the issue at hand.
I have much to offer in the way of diversity of experience and profession in that I have worked in two (2) major industries: finance and currently, education. Within these industries I have had the opportunity to learn policies, procedures and the protocol necessary to enforce them ethically and without liability. From my work in the educational field I have sharpened my organizational skills, attention to detail and my ability to work with speed and accuracy.

More About This Tutor...

I dealt directly with children and families from disenfranchised populations, demographically diverse populations, and special needs populations. What I value most is having the opportunity to work with adults and children simultaneously. This gave me a broad over-standing of how to approach very challenging situations. In addition, what I have found to be an effective tool when working with academically challenged youth is having patience, and showing unconditional positive self-regaurd.
My resume highlights my ability, knowledge, and expertise in individual and group therapy at a master level in the field of social work. During my time at Eastern Michigan University, I was able to advance my skill set and knowledge-base by being in a supervisory role. As I matriculated, I learned how to multi-task as I was a graduate student and an employee for EMU. In my role I tutored and advis ... read more
