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.
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.

My comments on tutoring Chess : I have been a chess player since age 7 - I am rated at 1850. I love to play and teach the game!

I have been teaching college (History, Philosophy, Ethics, writing, reading, social studies) since the early 1980's. I have taught in New York (LaGuardia Community College), Connectiuct (Three Rivers Community College), New Jersey (Mercer County Community College) and Pennsylvania (Bucks County and Montgomery County Community Colleges and ). I have also taught online (University of Phoenix, DeVry University and The Iowa Consortium of Community Colleges). I have tutored many college and high school students, as well as grammar school students. I have taught several test preparation classes and helped many students to raise their test scores.
In my experience, the majority of students are highly motivated. This is, for me, the key to success. However, very often, students require assistance with a wide range of ‘remediation’ in many of life’s basic competencies: a skill set that incl ... read more

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

What a better way to teach your teen than by a teen?

I graduated high school in late October of 2012. I am not currently in college. I am working twords bettering my future. I enjoy helping others and I find it easy. I used to be tutored and I hated it because the tutors seemed to not care if I got it. I make sure the person or people I am tutoring understand and remember how to do what I am asked to teach them. In high school my teachers used to send me to other classes and tutor kids in the middle of class. I am extremely flexable and can help just about anyone I try to teach. I will not say every because no one is perfect and I'm not going to pretend I am.

More About This Tutor...

Since graduating from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2004, I substituted at various school districts until 2006 and further enhanced my grasp on the fundamentals of effective instruction. I continued to observe other educators at work including their methods of instruction that seemed most effective. I gathered valuable education resources that I could utilize in my practices. Indeed this time was very much a period of continuing education for me. Beginning in 2007 I started as a full time contracted teacher at Hardee High School in Wauchula, Florida teaching two curriculums of Government and American History.
My approach towards and methods of instruction are centered on meeting the diverse needs of different students and thus employing diverse strategies. Not all students learn the same way because their brains are attuned to different cognitive stimuli. An effective ... read more

As a Forensic Chemistry graduate with a minor in criminal justice, I have a fast array of experience. I have worked in accredited laboratories and have helped to process real crime scenes and evidence. I have extensive report writing, grammatical, and procedural development skills due to my education and the positions I held. During my education, I worked as a work study assistant and lab assistant where I helped to instruct students in a laboratory setting and, on occasion, taught classes in the teachers absence. I also tutored students upon direct request of the chemistry or forensic instructors.
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 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an active member of Mensa International and someone who's consistently done well in number-related fields, I've come to love teaching what I can understand. I perceive the world in a very unique way and I excel at using my perspective to help my students understand what others typically have difficulty imparting to them. I aim to one day be a professor and I love to inspire learning in and out of the classroom.
As an undergraduate at UConn, I pursued a number of fields from computer science to communications and philosophy, giving me a wide range of experience in a multitude of subject areas. In my senior year, I became a substitute teacher for grades 7-12 in all subjects. I am currently a graduate student in criminal justice, writing papers and doing research almost continuously.
