Christopher O. - San Francisco, CA 94105 (35.5 mi) - $50/hr.

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 increa ... read more

When it comes to teaching chess, my top rule is for my students to have fun. If you're not enjoying the game, how could you possibly be expected to learn more about it? I like to level with my students and go at their pace. If you want to go fast, we can go fast. If you want to take it easy and take a more casual approach to learning the game, I offer that as well. I'm very outgoing, open-minded, and just as eager to learn as all of my students. I take pride in developing a great relationship with my students and their families. 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 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. Interactive

I enjoy teaching students of all ages. I believe the best way for students to learn is by asking questions. I encourage students to think outside the box and ask as many questions during each session. In addition I feel that students learn best when they are able to apply a recently learned concept to a more challenging or different problem. I believe that every student can surpass expectations and reach their full potential if they are learning in an appropriate atmosphere. It is important that students learn and master specific concepts before they can advance in their studies. I believe that educators are an integral part of every students' development process and can make a positive impact in each particular student's education. I am a recent graduate from Santa Clara University with a double degree in Economics and Finance. I worked for three years at Stanford University with

I love working with students. One on one is even better than teaching groups of thirty in my book. I also worked ten years as a Physical Chemist where I had to know Math and Physics as much as Chemistry. I have taught Math, Physics, Biology in addition to Chemistry, and tutored in all these areas. I also graded essays for the state of Georgia and so I could sharpen any students essay skills. I have lived in Africa and so am ready to work with any culture. I believe that each student should learn to be in charge of their own education. My goal is to help them achieve that goal. I am not quick to jump in with the answer but can wait patiently for them to work through the problem. Since I learned by a very different method than my teachers tried to teach, I look for a students learning style. If he is not getting the concept, I'll try another or even invent one on the spot.

In 2009, I graduated from San Jose State University with a BA in German and a minor in linguistics. Long before receiving my bachelor's degree, I instructed classes for foreign learners and tutored individual students of English. Over the years, I have also had the opportunity to gather experience in the areas of translation, proof-reading, and interpretation. It is important for students to become familiar and feel comfortable with the material they are working with. I challenge students to step back and view things from different angles. In working together with them to find solutions and obtain good results from their efforts, their confidence grows and they better learn how to achieve their goals on their own.

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.

Due to my extensive experience in tutoring students of all ages, I am very good at tailoring my teaching toward the specific student's needs. I am very patient, communicate concepts in an easy to understand manner, and work hard to help the student understand the material. While tutoring math & physics, I generally explain the material first, and then work through a few example problems with the student. I then have the student solve a few problems on their own. I try to make sure that the student understands the material by asking them questions to engage them in the learning process. I am very supportive and know that a little encouragement can go a long way. I have been tutoring since high school & I absolutely love it. In 12th grade, I tutored fellow students grades 9-12 at my high school's tutorial center in various math, science, & spanish classes. Every Sunday, I taught my native

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 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.
