Zack D. - Austin, TX 78753 (15.9 mi) - Chess Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I have been playing chess all my life, and enjoyed studying it, and also teaching it! The more chess players we have in this world, the better. Being a 19 year old, it's fairly difficult to summarize your tutoring experience. Though I am not a licensed tutor, I am highly qualified on the subject I tutor. I have taught friends, and family the game of chess, and am looking for more students. I'm laid back, patient, and willing to teach your kid the fundamentals of chess. I understand how to teach someone a subject that they may not be educated on, so feel free to let me help.

Chris C. - Austin, TX 78756 (18.4 mi) - Chess Tutor - $35.00/hr.
Whether you prefer in-person or online lessons I will work with your schedule to meet your needs.
The best way to improve is to regularly play rated games, analyze the games with a strong player, and learn from the books and videos that are well-matched to your skill level. I provide advice on all these resources and have teaching materials prepared if you are interested in spending some time on them. I'm a patient and experienced chess teacher with 8 years of experience teaching children and adults. My teaching approach is practical and fun. We look at the chess games that you've played, and I teach the fundamentals of chess strategy and tactics based on these games.
I have more than twenty years of tournament experience, and I was awarded the title of First Category player by the United States Chess Federation, along with a rating of 2050 (Expert). I have tournament wins against

Ashish F - Austin, TX 78746 (21.5 mi) - Chess Tutor - $41.50/hr.
My teaching style is to do whatever works, and to get it done. I pride myself on working with my students on their level and being able to understand their personal barrier to grasping the material. I am very conscious of not imposing upon them the way it "should be done". The way it should be done is whatever way makes sense to them and as a tutor, I work hard to find this "way". I have developed the patience to work with students at their pace and to also challenge them to expand their boundaries. Ultimately, patience and persistence are what can be used to summarize my teaching style. I have been tutoring since 2006 and have covered a broad range of subjects during my time. My tutoring experience ranges from helping elementary students prepare for private school entrance exams to tutoring college students in math, english, economics, and history and everything in between. I hav

Kristofer T - Austin, TX 78749 (24.8 mi) - Chess Tutor - $37.50/hr.
I enjoy working with children of all ages, but particularly excel with more mature students trying to tackle more difficult subject matter. One of my greatest strengths is helping people understand abstract, technical material by simplifying the concepts and using analogies that the student can relate to. Often times we create a barrier because something seems like it should be hard. I make it my goal to break through that barrier by reducing the subject matter to ideas to which the student can relate. There is nothing quite like witnessing an “A-ha!” moment as someone conquers a fearful concept. I have always had an interest in math and science, and I got my start tutoring in high school by helping fellow classmates and friends in these subjects. I went on to earn my BS in Mechanical Engineering from U.T. Austin. I have also spent much of my life in the world of music and began te

John R - Cedar Park, TX 78613 (27 mi) - Chess Tutor - $39.50/hr.
My goal when working with students is to fully describe the steps necessary to solving various classes of problems, often in an outline form, for it is in learning these steps that a student becomes an independent learner.
I like to work through as many examples as the student needs, gradually working them into the problem-solving process, until they are able to work a few completely on their own, or, in some way, demonstrate understanding of the material. Of course, this method is a little easier to employ in one on one tutoring sessions, but even with my work in the classroom, I feel student participation is crucial to the learning environment. While in college (1988-1994), I worked as a grader in the math department, with a goal of providing useful feedback to the students. I also began working as a tutor at Austin Community College (ACC) in their free learning labs at this time.
