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 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 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. 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 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 research award recipient and former Vice-President for the San Jose State chapter. I have four years of private tutoring experience and two years working experience at San Jose State University's Learning Assistance Resource Center as a math and science tutor. I've tutored algebra, geometry, psychology, chemistry and biology courses. I specialize in statistics. 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.

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 acade

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 mathematics. I try to maintain a fun environment, encouraging student participation while ensuring that the main concepts our understood. As a tutor I try to complement the instructions of the teacher by offering a broader understanding of the topic or new methods to approach the same answers. Tutoring and helping others has always been a big part of who I am, and recently I have not been able to fulfil that part of my life. 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

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.

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. 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.

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. I believe that all children have the capacity to excel in anything they wish to pursue in the future, they just need the right amount of encouragement. I'd like to guide and help them learn new things and discover what they can do. 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 Degre

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. 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 had full scholarship for both my BS in Computer Science and MS in Data Communications in two of the best colleges in the world. I thus have very deep understanding of Maths Physics and Chemistry. I have taught and tutored at middle & high school, ITT-Tech, The Art Institute of California -San Francisco and Menlo College. I have been an Instructor in the enterprise hi-tech industry on and off for the past 16 years. I am also a Certified Personal Trainer. I have taught yoga, dance, soccer and athletics. I love teaching whether they are kids, high school kids or adults. I believe I was blessed to have had my college education for free and my way of giving back is teaching. I believe anyone can learn anything if one has the right teacher and environment. So my style is custom made to the person I am working with at a particular time.
