More About This Tutor...

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.

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!

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 includes such issues as time management, test taking, study habits, and, sometimes, acculturation. My teaching methodology follows these simple steps: Step 1: Motivation Step 2: Definition & Understanding of terms Step 3: Explanation, exploration, discussion, debate Step 4: Questions & Answers Step 5: Practice: Time & Effort Step 6: Demonstration (or proof) I absolutely believe that motivation is required for learning. I have found that students become more motivated to learn when they understand how they will profit from the experience. I teach ‘communication’ all the time, regardless of the subject matter. Throughout the course of ... 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

A Little Bit About Me...

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
