I am a one-on-one instructor. If chess rules are not known such as piece movement and lack of notation keeping, I will teach you that first. I will gauge your playing level after playing some games with you. From there you will learn tactics, openings, general positional strategy, endgame technique, and etiquette appropriate to your level.
I have taught children and adults chess since 2005. I've done lectures as well as private lessons. I am currently the 1st Board and Captain of the University of Pittsburgh Chess Team. I ran a chess club in Wyncote, Pennsylvania until I left and came to Pittsburgh. I have been playing chess since 1st grade, and I am quite passionate about the game. I also care for my students and improving their performance in tournament and casual play.

National Candidate Master Chess Lessons

I'm a National Candidate Master and I've been teaching children and adults for 5 years. I have taught and coached a national championship winning team and have won numerous state and national championships myself. I teach lessons at Rittenhouse Square and at the Abington Free Library. I offer 1 hour and 2 hour weekly time slots throughout the week. During the time slot we'll go over things like tactics, positional theory, openings, endgames, middlegame technique, how to spot candidate moves, how to think critically and quickly etc. I'll also go over your own games with you which will allow me to assess where you're strongly suited in the game and where you have a gap in chess knowledge.
Interactive teaching with review of progress, game-play, thought process training, calculation tricks using base positions, positional and tactical motifs, and mini-games in which specific abstract ... read more

As a H.S. student, I was a volunteer tutor with A Better Chance program and I continued to tutor and mentor students throughout my college and professional career. I tutored students in math and english/reading. My greatest sources of satisfaction have been spending 3 summers on loan to Purdue University to teach in their Minority Science program for H.S. School students. Additionally, I feel fortunate to have been a H.S. Soccer coach for 12 years and a youth soccer club coach for 25+ years. I have a B.S. in Computer Science and an MBA. Both degrees placed a heavy emphasis on mathematics, a subject I have been comfortable with my entire life. Also, my 30 year professional career allowed me to hone my oral and verbal communication skills.
I love working with and teaching children and I recognize that every child is different and each has his/her own capacity for learning. Being able ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love finding out how exactly students learn and being able to make learning an enjoyable experience for them. I think that it is not enough to help students learn; they should be taught how to learn. I am a strong believer in learning concepts before applying them to situations. I am a very visual teacher, utilizing props, graphs, drawings and other useful tools to impress the subject matter on students. I also believe in the "see one, do one, teach one" method. By the end of my instruction, students are not only able to complete the problems, but are able to walk through them and "teach" me how to do them. A person will have many teachers in their lifetime, but few of them will be educators.

I love talking to students. I endeavor to let each student know that I care and am willing to go the extra mile to help he, or she, "get it"! I want to "connect". I have a terrific sense of humor, and try to keep my students smiling. I think we learn more, through laughter. I try to keep everyone relaxed. I try to keep everything real. (I've realized that we learn, more easily, when we can apply what we are learning, to our every day lives.) I encourage questions. I want my students to realize that when they are with me, in the classroom, they are safe, i.e., it is OKAY to make mistakes! It's encouraged! How can we learn, if we don't "open up"? I won't give up -- on any student.
I have been writing for 30 years; I have been published over 200 times, in approximately 106 periodicals. In 2008, samples of my earliest writings, as well as recent-front page articles, fro ... read more

As indicated above my teaching has not been in a formal setting. I practiced on the job by 1) knowing what I am talking about, 2) listening to the person desiring knowledge, 3) allowing that person to come to believe that there is no mystery or magic to it, 4) explaining not just the "how" but the "why" of it and finally, 5) practice-correct-practice.
As a manager and coach I have formally and informally trained employees within my unit and provided same to those interested outside my area. Many have said "you should have been a teacher" over the years but more lucrative pursuits were my focus. I have taken the time to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity to teach a financial literacy class to a prospective homeowner. My interest motivated me to attend the Financial Literacy Commission meeting in DC on May 27th at the US Treasury Builidng and it gave me ideas on how to merge my pet p ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe in talking through problems using visual ideas and simplified concepts. I prefer teaching with graphics and concepts, and then relating them to formulas and equations. While I expect hard work from my students, I also have the patience to help them understand at their own pace.
I am a currently a working civil engineer specializing in bridge design (steel and concrete structures). I received scores of 760 in Math on both the SAT I and II, and a score of 800 in Math on the GRE's. I have taken several high level calculus, engineering mathematics, and statistics classes at the University of Delaware, aside from receiving a 5 on both the Calculus and the Statistics AP Exams. I have tutored elementary students in the past, and was part of a 'teaching scientists' after school company briefly in college.

A Little Bit About Me...

LOUD & LIVELY! I like to make the lessons I teach interesting and involvement is key. If I can educate and entertain (a tool I use), I command participation, respect and learning. Due to my style, students, once in a while, think it's all fun and games. I am also an enforcer of rules. If you want to continue to have learn and have fun, you better act right.
As an educator, I have tutored students in mathematics and English from grades 4 through college level. I have taught songwriting in summer camps, 4th grade language arts and ESL to high school kids fresh from Korea. Also, as a Youth Advocate, part of my job description was helping my kids with school work and homework.
