A Little Bit About Me...

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.
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 love talking to students. I endeavor to let each student know that I care and am willing to go the extra mile to help he, or she, "get it"! I want to "connect". I have a terrific sense of humor, and try to keep my students smiling. I think we learn more, through laughter. I try to keep everyone relaxed. I try to keep everything real. (I've realized that we learn, more easily, when we can apply what we are learning, to our every day lives.) I encourage questions. I want my students to realize that when they are with me, in the classroom, they are safe, i.e., it is OKAY to make mistakes! It's encouraged! How can we learn, if we don't "open up"? I won't give up -- on any student.

I tailor my teaching style for the students. For example, formal and delegation styles are both required when teaching children due to course content and resources. Precise verbal instructions are needed with children because of attention time and listening skills aren’t always mature. Lectures, assignments and expectations are spelled out in the formal and discussions are encouraged which includes examples and observations. The students will demonstrate their learning styles through responses to visuals, auditory and kinesthetic which will further add to my tailoring. My goal is to understand what the student needs, motivate them to learn and keep them motivated.
I achieved my teaching experience due to industrial needs and requirements at RCA, GE and Lockheed Martin over a twenty year period. For example, 1. Paid instructor for computer classes at RCA Moorestown, NJ; Int ... read more

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.

I love working with and teaching children and I recognize that every child is different and each has his/her own capacity for learning. Being able to work one-on-one with your child will give me the opportunity to taylor a program that will fit his/her needs. I am an active listener and I am very, very patient.
As a H.S. student, I was a volunteer tutor with A Better Chance program and I continued to tutor and mentor students throughout my college and professional career. I tutored students in math and english/reading. My greatest sources of satisfaction have been spending 3 summers on loan to Purdue University to teach in their Minority Science program for H.S. School students. Additionally, I feel fortunate to have been a H.S. Soccer coach for 12 years and a youth soccer club coach for 25+ years. I have a B.S. in Computer Science and an MBA. Both degrees placed a heavy emphasis ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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

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 instructor will convey the same learning objectives through these different learning channels. Two, the students will find the repetition and predictability of the class either easy and unchallenging, or boring and difficult to understand. Either way, student motivation suffers. Effective instruction centers the students in the learning process by keeping them actively involved in classroom events.
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 othe ... read more

As indicated above my teaching has not been in a formal setting. I practiced on the job by 1) knowing what I am talking about, 2) listening to the person desiring knowledge, 3) allowing that person to come to believe that there is no mystery or magic to it, 4) explaining not just the "how" but the "why" of it and finally, 5) practice-correct-practice.
As a manager and coach I have formally and informally trained employees within my unit and provided same to those interested outside my area. Many have said "you should have been a teacher" over the years but more lucrative pursuits were my focus. I have taken the time to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity to teach a financial literacy class to a prospective homeowner. My interest motivated me to attend the Financial Literacy Commission meeting in DC on May 27th at the US Treasury Builidng and it gave me ideas on how to merge my pet p ... read more
