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 was taught chess at age four and have been playing ever since. I played throughout school but I have never competed outside of a school setting. I like to formulate individual teaching styles based on my students. Not everyone learns the same and therefore I do not teach the same to each student. Sometimes students require my constant attention and encouragement. Other times taking a step back and explaining everything in depth and watching the student work is the best approach. No two students are alike therefore my teaching style is different for each student. I have just finished law school. I grew up in Brazil as well as the United States which allowed me to become fluent in Portuguese as well as English without any accent. I enjoy computers and have learned many programs inside and out throughout my lifetime. Through college I took every computer class I could and even learned how

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

My teaching style is very goal oriented. I do love to teach and am very patient on teach subject matter. I don't believe in pushing through subject matter when a student does not have the basic knowledge needed for success in the future. I am passionate about my ability to teach others and take the fact very seriously that what I am teaching today will brighten the lives of many in the future. I am a Georgia State University Graduate of 2008. I got my masters of science from there and am now looking to disperse my knowledge to others. I excel in biology and other science related fields. I have most recently taught labs for Georgia State University in the field of microbiology.

For the past 2 years i have helped children from K-5th grade with all types of homework from English to Social Studies to Math. I love helping kids understand thoroughly what they are learning in school. I also like to make it fun. Not all children are the same. It takes time to learn a child's individual learning curve. I am able to channel this into a positive and FUN learning experience. I believe that all kids can accomplish what they put their mind too but they just need someone who will set them on a straight path. Sometimes kids need one on one teaching to get the lesson through their heads.

I enjoy working with all age groups and believe that anyone can learn anything. It's just a matter of finding the way for things to make sense. Every brain works differently and I have experience in simplifying complex problems in order for the students to better understand them. I like working one on one as well as tutor in groups. During college I have tutored numerous classmates in various chemistry courses as well as math and science outside the university. Never have I given up on a student for not understanding the material. If anything we worked harder and more to find ways to understand the materials. I am an experienced tutor in math and various sciences (mainly chemistry), with over three years of tutoring experience. Currently I tutor privately and at a tutoring center. I have a Bachelors Degree in Chemistry and am very skilled with Science and Math. Having graduated top of m

After teaching for 25 years, the first and most important element of interaction between a student and a teacher is one of mutual respect. The student wants the teacher to listen to their needs and concerns, and the teacher wants to be respected for his/her wealth of knowledge through experience. This is built through patience and understanding. A personal relationship is also helpful in tutoring, more on the level of a parent or adult friend. As a member of the Golden Key Honor Society in Education at Queens College in Flushing, NY I excelled at all the subjects I took pertaining to Elementary Education. I have a full awareness of the importance for structure and flow within an essay. Voice is sometimes overlooked, but is equally essential in representing the author's conviction to the subject matter of their work.

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. 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.

In college, my neuroscience major has often taken me out of my comfort zone and pushed me intellectually; I have received tutoring every step of the way. My college experience in addition to tutoring students in pre-school, elementary school, and high school has really made me appreciate the fact that there is no cookie-cutter approach to learning. I believe a good tutor's role is to take a concept and teach it in a way that appeals specifically to the student. In addition, I believe at the core of effective learning is learning through examples and practice, practice, practice. After working with pre-schoolers, I pride myself on patience and persistence! Before coming to Emory, I grew up in a struggling Memphis public school system. Although I was lucky enough to have plenty of resources, support, and guidance to enable me to excel, I knew many students did not have the same fortune

I enjoy helping student evolve by providing a different way of receiving information and simple follow up techniques to assure reception and retention of information. I have worked with children and adults and enjoy the opportunity to encourage a student who feel that all hope is loss. We can all do better when we have the support of someone who recognizes our frustrations yet redirects our attention to smaller areas of strength that we can build on. For the previous 12 years I have enjoyed a career in education. I have taught a variety of subject matter from Reading, History, Science, Math and even Spanish for grade levels ranging from Prek to 11th. I am currently certified in 2 states for Elementary, Middle School and High School grades for Special Education and Language Arts and History. Over the past 10+ years I have tutored both privately and for agencies such as princeton review.

Teachers have the ability to provide inspiration and motivation to students to encourage them to be the best they can be in and out of the classroom. That is why I would like to become an educator in the Georgia School System. I want to make a difference in the world by empowering students to make a difference in the world. Teaching is an opportunity that I do not take lightly. Working with students to provide confidence, social skills and an intellectual capacity required to compete in college and the global marketplace is top priority. Having worked as an Information Technology Professional, I have gained various experience that would be very useful in the Education Industry: My ability to communicate information and ideas in speaking so others will understand; my ability to listen to and understand information and ideas presented through spoken words and sentences; my ability to

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 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.
