I have played chess for over fifty years. I am currently a member of the ICC (An internet chess club) and I have played thousands of chess games over last fifteen years with people from all over the world. I am not a chess master but I am a good player with an ICC rating of 1285. I have enjoyed teaching my children and their friends the game of chess and would enjoy showing others how to play the game. .

If you need a chess coach, you got him. I prefers groups if

I like teaching groups more than individual becoz group setting creates the perfect opportunity for perfecting chess (You can't be good at it without practice with the weak and strong).
I had been playing and teaching chess from Kenya to USA for more about 18yrs. Chess is a game that make enhances thinking and decision-making. Just like life do, someone else gives you a puzzle and you had to figure out away how to save the situation. Chess is for heroes thinking and leaders- You can't be a hero where there are no people. It's about strategy for security. My experience and why I like chess is well-expressed in these words "Chess helps you to concentrate, improve your logic. It teaches you to play by the rules and take responsibility for your actions, how to problem solve in an uncertain environment." Garry Kasparov

My teaching style consists of finding that unique style that will suit each individual student. Growing up, I noticed that it was very hard for certain students to grasp certain concepts because they were not engaged in the teaching method. It is no secret that everyone learns a certain way, and no two ways are ever the same. I believe that my patience, my calm demeanor, and habit of wanting to make learning something fun rather than a job has certainly helped me in my education. I also am a big proponent of having children set goals for themselves. Setting goals makes you work harder without feeling the pressure, and I've learned that once children reach that goal they will just want to go higher.

I am an energetic and dedicated teacher who strives to encourage students to go beyond their very best by creating a positive and respectful learning environment. I establish high expectations for all of my students and create lessons that meet their individual learning needs. I have six years teaching experience in the inner-city of Chicago and hope to use the skills and knowledge I have gained from my teaching experiences in a suburban school district. I am a born teacher and take pride in my ability to motivate students and transform lackluster lessons into attention-grabbing lessons that will encourage students to become life-long learners.
I believe that the role of a teacher is to capture the curiosity of students by providing them with lessons and activities that require them to think outside of the box. Such activities should be hands-on and encourage the students to use th ... read more

While pursuing my honors degree in mathematics at the University of Chicago, I supported myself through numerous tutoring jobs. I have taught mathematics to students of all ages and abilities, including college-level calculus, set theory, logic, number theory, trigonometry, geometry, algebra, and arithmetic. I have also tutored my fellow students in various topics of physics. While conducting several research projects in pure mathematics, I spent the summers teaching public school teachers in Chicago new ways to improve their classroom instruction. I also have extensive experience in the humanities. My second degree is a BA (honors) in film theory, which is complemented by many classes in philosophy, literature, and art history.
The advantage of one-on-one tutoring is the productive, personal relationship that arises between tutor and student. As a tutor, I use this relationship to ... read more
