The tips of the leaves look like they are burnt. I would guess that you have a chemical burn or a nutrient burn. I would flush out the soil with water and pick off the leaves that are over 50% yellow. What is in your soil mix? Usually chemical fertilizers or manures can burn your plants easily if your not careful. I like to use 100% natural organic ferts because almost impossible to over feed that way.
If it is from over watering, just make sure the soil is dry before you water next. Maybe you don't have enough drainage and the soil is too wet. Pick up a moisture/ph meter from your local hardware or grow store. Stick the meter in the soil and it will read dry, moist, or wet. If it reads wet I would wait to water.
You can also eyeball it when your plant needs water. I am assuming your pot has holes in the bottom of the container. Before you water next, stick your finger in the bottom of the pot to see if it is still wet or not. I would water if it is moist, but if it is too wet I would wait another day.
