Chess is one of my top subjects! Been playing chess as a favorite pastime for about 16 years. I once started my own chess club in high school and wish to see the game continue to thrive. Have access to tournaments and wish to start a society for the game that can compete.

I started playing chess with my father when I was 7 and have been playing my entire life since. I grew up losing time and time again but I refused to give up on the game. I sought individuals with much more experience than me until one day, I started winning! I took on more challenging endeavors time after time and continually sought more and more challenging players to increase my expertise. Now it has been almost two years and I am waiting to lose, so my offer to teach chess isn't based upon credentials or tangible evidence of my expertise, but is just as much a search for a challenging player as it is a learning experience for my students.
Hands-on. This allows the student to experience first-hand the complexities of strategy, to further build critical thinking and logic skills in a profound fashion. This will also allow the student a more "upfront" approach and will allow the s ... read more

More About This Tutor...

While at Devry Institute of Technology, I was ranked in the top 3% of National Engineering students. This degree required advanced mathematics including Calculus, differential equations, and network synthesis. It also included computer programming and electronic circuit theory and design. In my career I have taught Windows, MS Office, robotics and programming to adults, helped teenagers graduate from high school, and helped my 7 year old daughter learn math.
I believe that everyone, children and adults alike, can learn through patience, creativity and organized lessons. I make it fun and interesting, and possess many years of interesting real world experiences to draw on to help students understand and learn.

I tend to approach mathematic problems is several ways to give a chance for the student to grasp a concept. I allow questions and offer advice. I encourage determination and dedication in students because I believe success is more work than anything else.
I used to own an educational products company for nine years. During this time a tutored students. I was an honor student in college and in my career I applied mathematical models for business.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style reflects my personality and that is comfortable and confident. Peoples' minds are most open to learning when they are comfortable with their situation, surroundings, and the people they are interacting with. Being confident in yourself will lead to confidence in your students.
As a lifelong learner I have a unique perspective on how difficulties inside and outside of school can effect learning. I earned by B.S. in Business when I was 31 years old and I am now in the process of earning my Masters Degree. During this time I have aquired the skills needed to become succesful in learning and I am eager to share these skills with others. My ultimate goal is to instruct college classes to help others make thier stars shine.

Given my bachelor’s degree in the study of man, I find myself constantly driven to better myself and the lives of others. Education does not occur just in the classroom or through study halls; education is not limited by any means or measure. My aim is to give children the tools they need to achieve any and every goal they have, especially those in their success with education.
Having had experience in several dynamic fields, I find myself to be a diverse individual with various talents. With a degree in Anthropology from the University of Colorado (having completed courses in Chemistry, Biology, and Statistics), I find myself capable to deliver success to others looking for solutions in many different fields, especially mathematics. I spent 300 hours serving and educating inner-city youth in Pennsylvania, assisting with homework as well as educating them on appropriate conduct ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

During the last five years I have taught others how to use social media, viral marketing, search engine optimization and social media marketing more effectively. I have been recognized by peers as a leader in the emerging space of social knowledge, which embraces a holistic approach to the social interactions an organization has internally and with customers and partners.
I focus on the individual first - her style of learning, what makes her mind tick, how she responds to different methods of teaching. I believe that people are treated fairly by being treated individually. I also believe that people do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. I strive to set an example of genuine care and concern for the learner.

As the graduate of a difficult field of science, I spent a great deal of time studying and developing better methods for studying. I have become very knowledgeable in science and applied science through my degree field. I have also spent much time reading and writing scientific articles, which has made me proficient in English, general literacy, and writing. Throughout my college career, I have been tutoring and leading study sessions in science.
I think that learning is subjective. Every person will have the opportunity to learn if they have an instructor that can meet their needs. I work well with children, young adults, and adults. I am patient and attentive. I believe that asking questions is the best way to find and address gaps in understanding and facilitate teaching the appropriate material.

I am a graduate of Law School, but my first love and continued passion is education. I have vast life experiences as well as experiences in education that were both diverse and enriching. My English background has provided me with a great content-area knowledge; while my law background has taught me an analytical side to reading and writing.
My love is working with kids. My true gift is working with kids who have otherwise had problems in an academic setting.

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn, but each in different ways. I try to discover each student's particular learning style to help them successfully enjoy the learning experience and maximize his/her learning potential. I am patient, easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education possible. I am a firm believer in establishing mutual respect between the student and teacher. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate materials and active-learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.

I enjoy teaching a great deal and working with all ages of children. However my favored age group is adolescents. I try as much as possible to appeal to as many learning styles as I can in each situation. Not only does this increase the amount of understanding in the student, but it also increases the amount of retention. It has been my experience that if a visual learner gains understanding visually, that understanding is reinforced by other avenues, such as auditory, or kinesthetic. I always do my best to make sure that the student has learned the needed material and gained competency in whatever skill they are learning.
When I graduated college I found myself wanting to help others. I began doing this by counseling youth who had substance abuse issues. For a time I also worked with the youth at a homeless shelter. Helping them with homework, ESL studies, and math skills. ... read more

Although I have no formal teaching experience, we all learn and teach everyday in our lives. I am very intelligent and want to pass that on. I have done much reading when I was younger, exploring memory and mnemonics. I also took the Mega-Memory and speed reading courses by Kevin Trudeau. They are the ones that are in the Skymall catalog. I believe those really helped me in my studies, because I learned to approach learning the same way I approached sports. People would laugh in university when I would tell them that I never read anything for school late at night because I was tired and it wouldn't sink in properly, or that I would never eat a meal less than one hour before a test and I challenged them to try the same.
Learning starts with learing about oneself and how you best perform. It is very similar to sports, you start off learning the techniques and then you must lea ... read more

I have been involved every year since 1975 in the work of an educator, mostly for pay, but occasionally as a volunteer, either community- or faith-based, in three states and two foreign countries. Leadership was usually demonstrated in teaching for proprietory institutions in curriculum development and in the processes of actual recruitment. In fifth-grade teaching of English language learners, my class for two semesters won the highest attendance record for 3rd-5th graders in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Each time I have taught a different age-level I have sought to accommodate myself to the learning style of that particular level, whether psychokinetic for kindergarten and preschool, audio-visual for lower elementary, or verbal-phonemic for upper-level students and adults. It was in the teaching of adults that I encountered my most challenging situations, and even to ... read more

I possess unique training and skill sets that enable me to reach and connect with diverse learners. I work to honor each learner’s distinctive needs, abilities, proclivities and style through establishing trust by way of kindness, patience and understanding. I trust in every child’s ability to connect with the material at hand given the right environment, support and encouragement. I understand that when a child feels safe, valued and met, engagement and learning follow. Being an avid learner myself, I bring enthusiasm and curiosity to every lesson and work to find and stir that curiosity in my students.
I’m deeply passionate about education and have taught for over 16 years a wide variety of students (ESL, Learning Challenged, Gifted, APA), 2nd – 12th grades and college courses in Critical Thinking, Creative and Multimedia Writing. I have a BA with honors in English, and hold an M ... read more
