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'm an experienced chess player that has been teaching children chess for about a year now. I work part time for Kid Chess, a company that provides chess lessons to Elementary Schools across Georgia. With them I have prepared many lessons for groups and have given individual instruction to children too. My experience with Kid Chess has taught me how to instruct children in the basics of the game, and my time there has shown me how to give lessons to more experienced students too. Although I mainly teach children, I am more than comfortable teaching adults and teenagers too. Anyone who whises to learn chess from zero, or any beginner who wants to improve is welcome.

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

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 take what I learn from teaching and apply it to my own studies- having patience and upholding the responsibilities of being a student. 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 curri

I believe in helping students learn chess in a straight-forward manner. I teach the importance of chess strategy using the 5 most important chess principles. This teaches the student to learn how to think in chess, make great moves, figure out what the opponent is trying to do and prevent them from doing it. I teach how to come up with and execute a plan, openings, tactics, king safety, and much much more. I have been playing chess for 26 years and teaching chess for over 10 years now. I've played in several competitive tournaments and placed very well in most of them including 1st place in the Magic City Classic Reserve Section and I placed 2nd in the 41st Annual World open 1400 section. I also have a lot of experience teaching people from beginner level all the way up to strong tournament players. I know of all the best chess training materials around and I use the best from all of it

I love teaching and have a passion for it. I enjoy helping students understand the intricacies of science. I make it relevant to the student's life. Through my tutoring I also show how I need to understand and learn the different aspects of science. Science is an evolving and dynamic subject, which we need to try to understand. I use a constructivist approach to learning besides making it a relevant aspect in their lifes. Discover is the best way to learn in science. Anyone can tell students facts and numbers, but having them discover the significance of those facts and numbers is the greatest learning tool for any person. I graduated from New York University and earned a bachelor degree, BA in Biology. I also minored in Psychology. After graduating, I started my career in the educational field. I have been a Science teacher for 25 years. I have taught Biology, AP Biology, Forensic Scien

My first experience as a tutor happened my second year in college. She was an elementary student with behavioral problems. After four sessions, I resigned from that position. A month later, I found out that she was autistic. She taught me a very valuable lesson. Before I can tutor, I must first understand what kind of learner the student is. Although, I did not pursue a teaching degree, I have taken this principle with me in all the teaching assignments I have had. I have been an adult software instructor for a year, instructor of general studies for seasonal workers, summer school math tutor for disadvantaged elementary students, and most recently an elementary and middle grades substitute teacher. As a substitute teacher, I experience all types of students. One thing is common in all of them; they want to know they matter. I use this as a means to find a particular interest and weave

I am currently teaching anatomy and physiology courses to students training to become licensed Registered Nurses. The courses focus on basic science principles and the relationship of these concepts to human function and structure, clinically. I have experience teaching at a university as a Teacher's Assistant in chemistry. The classes would meet before a test and discuss the analytical techniques of the course. I am currently teaching an Anatomy and Physiology course for nurses looking to pass the RN liscensing exam. My approach to teaching is centered around the particular goals of the student or students. Clearly, a course centered around a liscensing test will focus on the material that will be on that test. Otherwise, teaching has to be catered to the student's ability to learn the material and focus on the weakness in understanding the concepts involved in the material.

My goal for all my students is to achieve success in their learning and to recognize in themselves that they are capable of that success. With that in mind, I seek to lead and guide the students into not only discerning the answers for themselves, but to learn the method by which they can continue that success on their own. I believe that it is the teacher's responsibility to not just teach to each student's learning strengths but to also help them strengthen those areas in which they struggle. Even before I became an educator, I had the heart of a life-long learner. I believe I was called and gifted to be a teacher and to try to impart a love for learning to my students. I have a BA in English and French, and an MA in French Literature. In my 18 years of teaching experience, I have taught a wide variety of subjects (English, Spanish, French, Social Studies, Math) in mostly small school

I have a unique style of teaching where I create a yearning for learning. I thinking teaching should be fun and exciting so I put my creative skills to work to help teach concepts in unforgettable ways. I have worked with children for almost 10 years now and I've learned especially in special education that children learn at different rates. I believe in excercising patience and plenty of effectual praise which makes a huge difference in students' academic success. I have been an assistant teacher for Dekalb County Schools for 2 years and Gwinnett County for 1. I am currently enrolled in an add-on degree program for Interrelated Special Education at UGA where I will be completing my practicum at Radloff Middle School in Duluth.

I am a driven and motivated person with a high level of expectation. I have earned my B.S. in Graphic Design and have extensive English/writing and mathematics skills. I have tutored children of elementary, middle, and high school grades; in addition to being an elementary school reading coach. The majority of my work experience has been with young children. I believe that each pupil is unique and it is most important to discover what learning style(s) work best for them. I prefer a constructivist approach in where the learning takes place side by side and with as much "hands on" opportunities as possible. Also, I like my students to fully grasp a conceot and have a true understanding of what they are learning. Time is the key and ofeten times students do not have the "time" within a school day or year to get the necessary assistance they need only at shcool or from their teacher.

I taught college-level students in the classroom and in an aquatic environment for three years. I also taught aspiring instructors on an ad hoc basis during that period. I have classroom experience with high school children in a special education setting, involving an extreme amount of patience and a willingness to find different ways in which to impart learning on non-traditional students. I believe in short-term goal attainment. I first assess what the student feels they know, then look at what needs to be learned and from that I build a goal-oriented task set that should result in a learned skill set. I am also very good at thinking outside the box in order to get the skill set learned and to effect "true learning" as opposed to parroted learning.
