Chess is one of my top subjects! -9 years exspirence so far -11 medals -3 first place trophy's -1st place up to section 800 in a National Championship Tournament -been to many tournaments to learn as well as teach

I have studied chess for the past 9 years gaining much exspirence from tournaments, as well as learning from CHESS MASTERS and other teachers. I have been to several tournaments receiving 11 medals, 3 1st place trophy's, and a First up to section 800 Chess National Championship Trophy, I still visit tournaments and teach kids as young as 5
Depending on child's or adult's knowledge and exspirence I like to teach 1 on 1 startning with fundamentals then into in-depth gameplay... This said I like to teach through actual gameplay adviseing him or her on their moves and strategy's, also with the permission of the parent I would highly suggest taking the child to actual chess tournaments...the parent's ofcourse may take the child instead of me

My teaching style is in form of participation. I like my students to be part of the lessons. I believe teaching (or education) is not a one person show. The best way for to students to learn is by making them participate. It is not just a matter of giving lectures and tests. It is a matter of involving them also in the lectures.
I am a native French and English speaker with a bachelor degree in Business Administration with specialization in Information Systems. I graduated first of my class with a perfect GPA, summa cum laude. As a member of the honors program, I had to do a lot of researches and presentations at public events. It made be feel good to see that I could educate people with the findings in my researches. I tutored math to some high school students after I graduated high school. I tutored math, accounting, French, and other subjects to my friends while I was in college ... read more

Though I have one more semester before graduating, I have completed all of my coursework in Philosophy and all but one course in both my Mathematics and History of Science minors. Studying philosophy has given me experience with critical and precise thinking. Furthermore, most of my courses have been research and writing oriented, so I have a thorough knowledge of grammar and essay writing. Finally, I am well-versed in Mathematics, being just one course shy of a minor. I have maintained perfect grades through Calculus IV and keep up with that knowledge regularly.
I have tutored non-professionally for some time. Doing so has provided me with experience with a variety of students ranging from the first grade level to college freshman. I cater accordingly to each level of student, always exercising patience and approaching topics from multiple angles. I understand that some students a ... read more

After graduating with a 4.0 from the University of Oklahoma, I began my graduate work in mathematics. As a G.A., I had the experience of teaching and tutoring at the college level. During the past two years, I have taught 10 sections of miscellaneous classes, covering 5 different courses. Over the course of the past two years, I've easily had over a hundred hours of tutoring time. In addition to my two math degrees and minor in religious studies, I also have a good background in music theory, piano, and organ. I play for two separate churches each Sunday and have previously given lessons.
Teaching is a means to find a student's misconceptions and correct them. I try to do this by engaging the students in conversation, asking them leading questions, or watching them work. I try to build classroom bonds, making communication easier. Once the students feel comfortable, it is e ... read more
