Chess is one of my top subjects! I am a chess expert and experienced tournament player who has won state titles several times. I also have been teaching individuals and school chess clubs for over 20 years. Generally considered one of the best chess teachers in MN.

I am near master strength (expert USCF) with experience handling students of all ages. Had a US under 8 champion as well as MN state champions under my tutelage. Worked with single students and groups over 20. I have directed summer chess camps and assisted in youth chess tournaments. Am working to achieving master status as well as improving my teaching methods.
Prefer a more casual approach but can create lesson plans for more detail-oriented people.

As a teacher I have always desired to teach in a way that I know I am communicating with my students. My teaching style includes making eye contact with my students to make sure they are with me. If I sense that their eyes have "glazed over," it is time for a change of pace. I might interject some humor or tell a short story to give them a break. I know that learning is hard work. I would also use games and projects to give them a change of pace. Sometimes I would assign a lesson for them to teach. Taking classes on field trips as an occasional alternative to classroom teaching is another tool I use, giving my students a passive learning experience. I strive to make the learning experience enjoyable.

I love helping students learn new information. Having studied Psychology, I find everyone interesting, and love to learn what makes them "tick". I use this tool to help me better understand where a student is coming from, what motivates them, and what their needs are when it comes to learning. I strive to be available to my students in a way the serves them best in their learning style.

My teaching style is one of real life applications, fun, and making it understandable. For example, when discussing slope, we can study downhill skiing or rooftops. When solving equations, I approach it from unraveling a number trick. I prefer to coach students on how to approach problems, and design which questions to ask themselves, rather than memorizing a list of techniques whenever possible. My funny and outgoing style blends well with all learning styles and personality types.

One thing I have learned in my many years as a tutor is that each student is unique. I try to be flexible in my approach. With grammar and mechanics, I have found that a directive manner is often the best approach; sometimes, however, students require clarification of ideas and organization, in which case I pose questions and share observations, rather than instruct. With reading assignments, clarification of thesis, organization, and vocabulary are usually most helpful. Overall, I try to be as student-centered as possible in my approach to tutoring, without sacrificing a commitment to high quality instruction.
I have a strong background in English, and am currently working toward a Master's degree at the University of St. Thomas. In addition to my strengths in academic research and writing, I have written solicitation letters and grant proposals for a nonprofit. I have tutore ... read more

I not only experienced varying styles of education, but I also obtained a high quality education that is applicable to many settings, points of view, interpersonal and cultural dynamics and personalities.

I greatly enjoy teaching children at all levels. Through a variety of approaches and encouraging persistence, I believe children can gain knowledge of and proficiency in all subjects. A multi-disciplinary approach ensures a child's growth has both depth and breadth. I aim to teach in a way that develops the intellect and cultivates the character of my students so that they become critical and virtuous members of and contributors to society.
I became interested in tutoring during my three years of graduate study at Princeton Theological Seminary. Studying theology in my undergraduate and graduate work required me to invest strongly in multiple subjects such as history, philosophy, languages, politics and literature. This equipped me to tutor multiple subjects at various levels.

Children have been my main interest for many years. I have an interest in children learning as much as they can.

My tutoring style usually depend on the person I am tutoring, however the following is my basic beliefs, which guide my teaching methods. I believe that you can make any subject matter easy by focusing on the basics and relating the subject matter to things the student can identify with. This allows the student to not become overwhelmed and more acceptable to the subject matter. In addition, I believe that the students should be challenged and encouraged to reiterate what you teach them. This allows the tutor to become more aware of the students needs and helps the tutor refine their methods.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have actually attended three universities,including Miami of Ohio and the University of MN where I studied political science. I recently took the GRE, thus I am familiar with college and what is required to succeed. During my first writing class at Metropolitan State University,I was approached to become a tutor. My first day was in October, 2006, and I am still tutoring. I work with a diverse student population, including ESL students, and I am expected to help in any subject or genre for both undergraduate and graduate students. Although I primarily work with adults, I do enjoy all ages and mentored a teenager in 2007 for a year long program. I am still in contact with this young man who was considered at risk, and I consider him a friend.
I enjoy when there is a connection between educator and student, and that student is able to apply wisdom to solve problems, and ultimately ... read more

I have a natural talent for being a leader/teacher and have been complimented on my ability to reach out to youth. I like to teach through “hands on” approach, practice and problem solving. I love to see the children’s progress through time and their feeling of confidence when they have mastered a skill your teaching.
While in college I worked a number of years as an after school program classroom lead for two different school districts in the twin cities area. Additionally, during my years of Post College I have worked directly as a youth instructor in a number of scenarios. I have experience teaching Genetics, Horse Anatomy and Physiology, Equine Nutrition, and Natural and Biological Sciences.
