Chess is one of my top subjects! I teach chess for all levels and ages! I am a U.S National Chess Master with a rating of 2302 (that's ranked top 15 in the entire state) and World Federation Master, former US National Junior Champion and 2x IL High School Champion (2010-2011). Chess improves focus, memory, concentration, patience, and teaches one to make the right decisions in life. Starting from age 6, it surely helped me improve my grades in school and helped me acquire life skills necessary for the real world.

I am currently teaching in multiple schools in the Chicagoland area. I also give private lessons to more interested students. I am 21 years old and started playing chess since I was 6, which gives me over a decade of experience! Note to parents: The benefits of playing chess are immense, and this would be a great opportunity to enrich your child's life by introducing chess!

In the past four years, as a substitute teacher, I have instructed a wide variety of grade levels and subjects, including non-core subjects. I have also, monitored progress of assignments, while keeping students on task, and provided valuable feedback during instruction. I spent a month as a long-term substitute teacher for a K-6 science teacher and worked a long-term position as a district ACCESS for ELL tester for Kenosha Unified.
As a teacher, I feel that my mastery of content and skills help students to not only learn to the best of their ability, but learn through a variety of learning styles. I help students become motivated and interested in all topics I bring to the classroom, which gives each of them an opportunity to contribute and participate throughout each lesson. My ability to differentiate and modify lessons to reach each child is another strong point in my teach ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that the most effective teacher is one who guides the students to finding the correct answers. Instead of simply giving out answers, a teacher should encourage students and help them along the process for them to find out the solutions on their own. By overseeing this learning process and helping along the way, the teacher ensures that the student will learn that they are capable of learning the material and further increase their confidence in academics.
I obtained a strong liberal arts education where I was able to experience and learn about a wide range of academic topics. However, I have a strong focus and specialization in the sciences with a BA in both Biology and Chemistry with a Mathematics minor. Math and science has been a strong area of mine, as I was a Supplemental Instructor for a genetics course for two semesters, as well as being a Laboratory Assistant that ... read more

Nothing pleases me more than to help others achieve successes. I get more satisfaction in guiding others to their goals than I do for myself. The skill set I have developed along with my experiences are all transferable and necessary to bring best practices to make an impact on individuals. My goal is to make sure students have the knowledge, skills and abilities to achieve their dreams. I would accomplish this through all means necessary until the student has that "aha" moment! I lead by example with encouragement and an outstretched hand. I am extremely patient, flexible and considerate. But the biggest part of my success has been the learnings I have realized as I mentor individuals because each individual is so unique.

A Little Bit About Me...

I have tutored as part of community service projects as well as in service-learning classes. During my class on the Latino Immigration Experience in the United States, I taught in an English as a Second Language teacher to high school freshmen and sophomores. I really enjoyed the experience of helping their teacher relate to her students by aiding in lesson planning and other aspects of the classroom experience.
I believe that every teacher is also a learner and that every student is also a teacher. We have much to learn from the people we tutor and vice versa. My goal is to relate to my students on a personal level and make sure that they are actually learning and not merely memorizing my lessons. I think that it is necessary to personalize all instruction to your audience, especially when working with younger students. In this way, I know that I can effectively teach anyone ... read more

More About This Tutor...

When I am teaching I am very patient and try to organize the lesson or my assistance in steps. I'll have the child read the problem or question, ask what they know about it, see if they understand the question and proceed. The patient style helps me see what the student's strengths and weaknesses are so I know what they need to practice and focus on. If the child has multiple assignments or tasks I have them perform the more difficult ones first. Starting with the easy assignments may seem like it makes sense but I would prefer that the student have more energy for the tasks they'll have more difficulty with.
During my high school years I would volunteer to help children through various charities and church. When I attended college I became an Early Childhood Education major and volunteered in preschool and elementary schools. During my Student Teaching in Des Plaines I was in ... read more
