Develop your child's intellect with a fun game of chess!

My teaching style is very interactive & I develop an individual lesson plan for each student based on his/her needs.
I've taught Chess professionally for 12 years. While the best instruction is always one-on-one; I've taught Chess in afterschool club settings, park district group programs, & as a private tutor. More & more nowadays elementary schools are offering Chess as an after school program. I've taught 1,000's of kids Chess at 100's of elementary schools of all types. While my speciallty is beginning Chess players, I do enjoy teaching more advanced students as well.

More About This Tutor...

The students I enjoy working with most are teenagers. They are in a truly dynamic phase of growth, in that their intellects are blossoming in ways that are entirely new to them, while their emotions and bodies go through great and often difficult translformations. The power of these changes, along with their curiosity and insight, can be harnessed to create very exciting learning experiences. I have devoted myself to building learning environments that allow for maximum trust and respect between myself and my pupils; I am greatly interested in who they are and how each one of them learns.
I graduated from university in the top 2% of my graduating class, then went on to earn a masters in Comparative Literature. The Pennsylvania State University awarded my a graduate teaching fellowship for the duration of my masters studies. This fellowship allowed me to teach two college level cour ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a psychology major, at the beginning of my education, I discovered that I had a love and talent for mathematics. Thus I pursued a dual degree in Psychology and Math. I started tutoring algebra and calculus as soon as I learned the subjects, recieving straight A's all through community college. In the Psychology Department I ended up teaching my own statistics class, later teaching statistics as a community college instructor for the Los Angeles College District. For psychology, I have conducted many quantitative and qualitative research projects, developing a strong background as a quantitative analyst. I love to teach and conduct statistical research.
My style is relaxed. Many students appear frightened of math at first. I cover each subject well, allowing students to ask many questions. I encourage students to work problems while I watch, so I can catch them at the mom ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love working with students and it is such a joy to watch them learn. I understand that every student has different needs and learns things in different ways and at their own pace. I am kind, patient, and understanding. I believe students learn through discovering the right ways to do things and the reasons, not just regurgitating what an instructor tells them. After making a discovery, consistency and practice help to make it stick. It is my job to help the students reach their potential by providing them with the tools, direction, and explanation they need to help them reach an understanding of their subject.
I hold a BA in English from Saint Olaf College and studied a variety of subjects during my time in the Liberal Arts program. I have worked with many college graduates helping them prepare for the GRE in both the English and Math sections, as well as assisting high school st ... read more
