CHESS COACH AND PSYCHOLOGY TUTOR

Hi there! My name is Kelby Katz and I'm currently a graduate student pursuing a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Palo Alto University/Stanford. I am a registered member of the United States Chess Federation and regularly attend tournaments during my spare time. I coached and tutored the University of Miami Chess Team during my undergraduate career and proudly led as their peer-elected president. I began playing chess when I was in middle school and fondly remember entering K-8 scholastic tournaments with my team. I greatly enjoy teaching kids, adolescents, and adults and have lots of experience working with a variety of different cultures and populations. I believe in adjusting my teaching style to that of my students with my main objective being their success. I led my college team "Rook-E Move" to victory during the US Amateur South Chess tournament of 2013. I have a great amoun ... read more

I earned 2nd category title so far with USCF.

Interactive
I am a decent chess player with current USCF rating of 1803 and FIDE rating of 1987. I won many district and state level championships in India. I earned 3rd category title so far with USCF. I have a Master's degree in computer science, the field that requires pure logic same as chess. Since I was passionate in chess since childhood, I had an inclination to do research and so earned the masters in research. I have defeated 3 master level players (2200+ USCF) and am motivated to do more.

Tutor for Several Elementary & College Courses

Extensive experience as both a college adjunct (at 6 different universities) as well as a tutor for various courses, with particular skill assisting students in overcoming exam-related stress and learning blocks. My experience includes teaching children (8 years old and above), as well as diverse college students, including student-athletes, and those with a learning disability/hearing disability. I hold three graduates degrees--it's fair to say that I am a life-long learner, which I try to instill in others.
Depending on the course and student, I vary my teaching style from the Socratic Method (with a lot of questions and answers between the student and me), as well as utilizing real world examples to reinforce concepts. Finally, I strive to move from the basics of a concept, to intermediate types of problems, and build to advanced level. By doing so, I focus on the student's ... read more

I have an undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering. I have a Masters in Systems Engineering. I have tutored one person in statistics, algebra, analytical geometry and elementary functions for one year. She has maintained an “A” average during that time.
I take a look at what the existing instruction materials are attempting to convey and I add to that or expound on that. I use Google extensively to look for similar examples to the problems the student might be having. I believe that it is best to solve any given problem in at least two different ways if you really want to get some insight. It also helps in either verifying your answer or checking if you are in the ballpark.

The one thing I love about tutoring is helping someone, who is struggling, succeed. I've worked with students from diverse backgrounds ranging from middle school students, college athletes and graduate students. I'm am patient and considerate. As far as my tutoring style, I like to guided my students and teach through experience. For example, having the student work through problems step by step make sure they know how to solve problems and also understand the overall concepts. In addition, I promote good study habits and show students how to prepare for exams within a particular subject. I'm very good at simplifying complex concepts.
I earned my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with minors in Chemistry and Biological Science at San Jose State University. As an undergraduate, I was an honors student. I'm a Psi Chi, the international honor society in Psychology, inductee, regional ... read more

I have learned to adjust my tutoring skills specifically for the student based on their learning style; allowing the student to get much more out of the experience. The fact that I've worked with various levels has allowed me to experience a good number of behaviors, attention spans, interests, drives, and has allowed me to see the difference in subjects, how they must be illustrated as well as the way students tend to respond. From this, I have been able to curtail my style in correspondence to each tutee.
Since high school I have been involved with tutoring. Although on a voluntary basis I tutored Algebra 2 and BIology in high school. At Stanford, I have been involved with various programs like Math Magic, East Palo Alto Children's Association, HAAS Center...in tutoring students from the area. I have instructed elementary, middle, and high school students thus far. In addition to ... read more

I'm a graduate with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, but I spent a significant portion of time earning the equivalent of a minor in Japanese. I took many courses in religious studies and philosophy, enforcing my writing and critical thinking skills. I started tutoring when I was in high school and continued through college in both paid and volunteer positions. I've tutored in basic mathematics, geometry, algebra, trigonometry, statistics, 3D mechanical drawing, civil engineering graphics, chemistry, conversational English and ACT test preparation.
I've aided ESL students, native Japanese students, K-12 students, as well as college students. Even when I tutor groups, I mold my questions and instructions to each student to try and tailor instruction to his or her personal learning style. I offer a broad background of teaching experience and a strong understanding of science and math ... read more

I thoroughly enjoy preparing my course material and do so in such a way as to make understanding my major concern. Much time is devoted to basic principles and imparting this to the best of my ability. I particularly enjoy teaching those students who have difficulty with the subject as I like the challenge inherent in creating understanding. I am always grateful at having been a part of the educational process.
At university I spent a year tutoring economics and a year tutoring accounting. This was done in my senior year once I had acquired a thorough understanding of the course requirements. During this time much effort was devoted to assisting those students who had particular problems related to the lectures previously presented.

I taught advance instrument design at Stanford University using laser detection technology. The two semsters involved handles on generation of working prototypes. During my time as an graduate student, I tutored undergraduate classes in organic and math while I was a Teachers Assistant for the General Chemistry classes. I ran and graded three lab classes as part of my duties.
I homeschool my children in math, art and science. They ask question about a subject and I give them answers to their questions. If I do not know the answer, I then teach them how to look up the answer or work it out from fundamental assumptions. By having them approach me their interest level is peaked and them retain the information. I learned in graduate school how to learn which I then pass along to my students.

As a recent college graduate, I know how to work hard. I earned a bachelor degree, BS in Marine Biology from UC Santa Cruz, where I took many science and math classes. I do not have any experience in tutoring, but I have been a mentor to kids in other jobs I have had.
In the job I had where I mentored kids, it was a program called Lil Kickers. This program was for kids 3-10 years old where they were taught how to listen to instructions and communicate with one another. This was mixed in with games that helped their motor skills and ultimately helped them with their soccer skills. I have learned it is very important to be enthusiastic and passionate with the kids.

I am an example that having the right guidance at an early age can really make a difference. I was accelerated from level 4 to 5 based on academic proficiency, and was granted a scholarship to the most prestigious math and science high school in the Philippines, which gave me a very good foundation in math and sciences, and that knowledge made my transition into university very easy. I was then admitted to the top performing university (UP) in the Philippines, and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering at the age of 20. For the last 5 years, I have been doing volunteer tutoring in Math for children in middle school and for those who are reviewing for high school and university entrance examinations .
I love working with children. I can easily build a rapport with kids, making them more comfortable because I believe that learning should also be fun and enjoyable. ... read more
