David M - Cedar Springs, MI 49319 (8.1 mi) - Chess Tutor - $32.50/hr.
I currently hold an associate’s degree from Grand Rapids Community College in applied arts as well as an associate’s degree from Davenport University in accounting. I will also graduate with a bachelor’s degree in accounting on April 25, 2010. I worked for over three years for the Boardwalk Fitness Center where I was the general manager in charge of over 20 employees. I was also responsible for the general accounting duties, payroll, and customer billing. I am also an Eagle scout, where I spent years doing community service and teaching younger scounts. I love working with children of all ages. My teaching style I would describe as a friendship in which I work together. I have found as long as you are a positive force and are willing to put in as much time as it takes, you can help the student reach their fullest potential.

Kristy K - Grand Rapids, MI 49503 (22.7 mi) - Chess Tutor - $37.50/hr.
As a graduate of a Big Ten school, and a current master’s level student, I have had many focuses in school that I can teach in the tutoring setting. I also currently work in education as a tutor and a substitute teacher, sometimes as a child care worker. Subjects: political science, biology, math through pre-calculus, accounting, English, computer technology, and a few more. I have honed my writing and research skills through my experience in my master’s program, and through a year working as a full time staff writer for a health and wellness company. My teaching experience and family have aided me in developing a teaching style that appeals to the four different types of student learners. My teaching methods vary depending upon the subject matter and the pupil’s preferences. I enjoy getting to know students and customizing their learning experience to the methods that will best serve th

Wesley B - Grand Rapids, MI 49503 (24.3 mi) - Chess Tutor - $45.00/hr.
I worked as a substitute teacher for a charter high school in St. Louis, MO directly out of undergrad. I taught most subjects including Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, History and Language Arts. I feel comfortable in my ability to teach most subjects and have no issue working in difficult classrooms as I have grown accustomed to such environments working in St. Louis. Being no stranger to difficult classroom settings, I understand that ideal teaching conditions rarely exist. I enjoy to challenge of encouraging more distracted students to learn, and possess the compassion and patience to work with most students. If a teacher can earn a student's respect, which comes easier for a younger instructor such as myself, then positive reinforcement has a much greater impact on that student's motivation to learn. My experience teaching lends the skill to gain student's trust in confidence allowi

Jordan K - Alto, MI 49302 (30.6 mi) - Chess Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I love working with students, particularly on an individual level. Classrooms can be fun, but I feel as though the greatest learning comes from personal interaction in one-on-one sessions. As such, I see teaching and learning as a relationship structured around mutual respect and positive reinforcement. I have a lot of experience trying to understand the "logic" of a student's error and helping them take the positive aspects of their work and build on them while overcoming the negative. All students are gifted; building on preexisting talents and predispositions should be the cornerstone of teaching. Consequently, I tend to guide students towards making their own discoveries and building their own conclusions. Education is and experience of growth and personal development, not a filling of mental file cabinets. Making a difference in a student’s life through education is like open

Benjamin M - Spring Lake, MI 49456 (36.2 mi) - Chess Tutor - $36.50/hr.
I really enjoy teaching and using a variety of educational methods to reach students. Some students respond much better to one-on-one teaching methods than they do in a larger class environment. I have had many successful tutoring experiences in the past with a variety of students (even those classified as having learning disabilities). I currently work and teach at the International School of Tegucigalpa. I am a high school world history, psychology and comparative government. I have also taught economics at the high school level. I have tutored students in Language Arts at the high school and middle school letters.
I am also literate in Spanish.

Dean S - Grand Ledge, MI 48837 (49.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $37.50/hr.
Growing up in a family that did not value an education, I saw education as a way to make a better life for my self than gangs, drugs, and violence. I am the only one in my family to graduate from high school, then college. I firmly believe that education makes a person better by pursuing it. I achieved an Associates in Science, then two Bachelors of Science degrees. In addition, I earned various certifications in Environmental Health due to my job experiences. I have tutored many science classes, math, algebra, history, archery, martial arts, outdoor survival techniques and wildlife studies. I have also tutored students in the art of playing musical instruments. I am an essentialist in philosophy, meaning I want the student(s) to learn material that is relevant to their experiences and that they can find useful to their lives. I want to engage them in their learning so that they c
