Hello, my name is Alan Reyes. I am a 19 year old college student attending the University of Florida for a BS in Physics and Astronomy. I have been playing chess for 5 years and have placed first in my section in the Jacksonville Open and two years running in the Sunshine Summer Opens 2013 and 2014. I also placed first in my section at the 2014 CFCC Tornado in Orlando. I am currently rated USCF 1705, based on 24 games.

have been tutoring for many years. I tutored students of Math especially. All my students,passed their tests successfully, with no exceptions. Moreover, they all left me equipped with good problem-solving tools that have served them in their future careers. I am sensitive to the specific strengths and weaknesses of each individual student, and I expect the maximum from each. It will be fun working together. But it will require effort. I deeply believe that success earned by sweat is the most important gratification in one's life. Usually the student's motivation for the tutoring is the desire to succeed in a test. But I understand the learning experience as a long-time investment, from which the student will continue to benefit throughout life.

I believe in interactive teaching, where the student is as involved as the teacher. My satisfaction comes from watching students discover knowledge that they had previously thought unavailable. Every student can learn, and my purpose and goal is to help each student stretch as far as he or she is willing to go. I have completed all requirements for a Master of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught mathematics, computer applications, life skills, and other subjects at high school and community college levels in Colorado. I have tutored and homeschooled statistics, college algebra, trigonometry, and other mathematics topics, and homeschooled a complete spectrum of high school level topics.

As a former active duty Army soldier and non-commissioned officer with over 20 years experience, I have taught and trained military personnel in various technical fields and specialty areas. I have over 15 years experience as an immediate supervisor and/or mid-level manager of soldiers. I have taught people in a classroom environment, as well as in an outdoor setting. My preferred teaching style is up front and personal with students. However, I am highly familiar with "online" correspondence, via the computer or internet. I totally believe in having thorough knowledge of the required subject prior to teaching. I also enjoy working with children. I am a father of two young children (ages 10 months and 7 years), and I enjoy taking the time to cultivate their ability to read and comprehend.

Mostly I prefer relating abstract concepts to everyday life. I believe if a student can parallel course material with events that occur in his or her life then he or she will always remember the concept and have a deeper understanding of it. After graduation with my BSEE, I have been trying out employment in the Engineering field. My math and physics skills have become the front-runners in my tutoring career. This past summer, I tutored students attending Boston University and Boston College in Allston and Brighton, Massachusetts. The areas of tutoring that I offered were: Math - All calculus, Linear Algebra, Ordinary Differential Equations. Science - Physics I, II, Statics/Dynamics. Engineering - Circuits, Control Theory (Linear and State-Space), Microprocessors, and C, C++, Verilog programming.

I have worked in an ESE classroom teaching math and science to 4th and 5th grade students. I have also had many other practicum experiences in schools and have worked with students as a whole group, small group, and individually. I have strong curriculum knowledge, am caring and patient, and love working with students. I like to motivate my students by providing background knowledge and examples of application in the world outside of textbooks. I think it is important for students to create an emotional experience to ensure that knowledge will be stored. I implore traditional methods, as well as research-based approaches that connect to students audio, visual, or kinesthetic learning styles. I am dedicated and patient and make it my responsibility to find the way each individual student learns and absorbs information.

I enjoy teaching children the fundamental aspects of any subject, and delight in witnessing the brightening of that child's comprehension of the subject. I am a firm believer that every child harbors their own level of 'genius', and is capable of learning to their maximum potential. I believe every child deserves a chance to achieve at the height of their capability, provided they are given the chances and the educational tools for success in an encouraging, nurturing environment. I hope that the remainder of my career is utilized as the impetus for those achievements. As a former corporate manager and full-time mother, I received a BA in Theatre Arts and a MSW in Clinical Social Work in hopes of working with children and young adults in low socio-economic environments. I relinquished my job as a clinical social worker, and began tutoring elemenatary-aged students in 2004. I became a f

I love teaching students of all ages. All individuals are different, but with patience, consideration and understanding students can improve their understanding of subjects and their learning skills; particularly in independent tutoring sessions. I believe in mixing instructional methods when teaching, including the use of modern means such as computer software. However, when tutoring I believe it is primarily important to engage the student, be creative and understanding. My personal goal is to be give my students a great opportunity for success in later life. I lived practically on my own since I was 14 years old, when my parents had to return to Venezuela. However, with hard work, resilience, constant effort and the help of good individuals, I have been able to succeed in the United States.

i enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. In order to do that I make use of all resources available to me including: various forms of technology, websites, and ideas from other knowledgable teachers. Every child has their own unique learning style and it is up to the educator to deliver the material in a way that the child can understand the concept and then be able to apply the newly learned material. I have used direct instruction, modeling, large group, partnerships and small cooperative groups in the classroom with success. I utilize Vinn Diagrams; Read, Talk, Write & Check strategy; KWL Charts and projects to assure student understanding of a concept or idea. The College of Education and Human Services at the University of North Florida has a very rigorous education program. As a student and a substitute teacher I have completed over 1000 hours in and educational setting; this inclu

As a graduate of Southwestern College, I was very much driven by a high level of excellence in education. While on active duty in the military, I completed my BS in Human Resource Development and I received Magna Cum Laude honors. I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers and reports in various areas of study. During the last eight years of my military career I have counseled Sailors in pursuing a college education and tutored several of these same Sailors in English and mathematics. I love teaching and working with young minds. I believe anyone can learn and meet his or her potential if he or she is given the opportunity. I am patient, easy going, and considerate to the needs of the learner. I hope to make a difference in a student's life and I am available to help you find academic success.

Hands on teaching and kinesthetic learning are key to success in my mind. I love to involve the student's entire body in the learning process. From their senses to their movements to memory device techniques in the form of song or poem, using alternative methods of teaching seems more effective in the learning process. As a Cum Laude graduate from the University of Florida, I continue to hold a high level of discipline in every aspect of life. Whether it be at work, at home, or at school, I feel it is imperative to do your best no matter what the situation. Upon graduation at the age of twenty, I began teaching undergraduate courses for UF. This was an honor, but it was not challenging enough. It was not until I helped students with severe mental and physical disabilities that I felt fulfilled in my profession. Being able to teach student who are eager to learn, but have obstacles
