A Little Bit About Me...

Every of my students has individual program. On the first stage my goal is to estimate the skill set of the child. In other words – to understand the level of calculation, how good is the opening repertory, if he has heard about endgame etc. After that we create the plan of work on openings. I say which openings we must improve as soon as possible and which ones have to be known for future. Besides the openings very important point is endgame and strategy. Those are two most difficult elements. In the endgame we are working on typical positions. I will explain which pieces should be taken to the endgame and which shouldn’t. I also like teaching strategy to my students. In most of the schools it is not explained because it is tricky even for the coach. Throughout the years of my work I have created about 30 strategy lessons, set special positions etc. The practice shows that due to those ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have years of experience playing competitive chess at a fairly high level, along with some experience officiating small USCF (United States Chess Federation) tournaments back in the early 2000s. I also have experience being a paid, private tutor of youth for the game of chess, back in my home state of California. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at lhill419@gmail.com for any inquiries you may have. I look forward to sharing a game with you that has given me so much.

Chess is one of my top subjects! I teach chess for all levels and ages! I am a U.S National Chess Master with a rating of 2302 (that's ranked top 15 in the entire state) and World Federation Master, former US National Junior Champion and 2x IL High School Champion (2010-2011). Chess improves focus, memory, concentration, patience, and teaches one to make the right decisions in life. Starting from age 6, it surely helped me improve my grades in school and helped me acquire life skills necessary for the real world.

I am currently teaching in multiple schools in the Chicagoland area. I also give private lessons to more interested students. I am 21 years old and started playing chess since I was 6, which gives me over a decade of experience! Note to parents: The benefits of playing chess are immense, and this would be a great opportunity to enrich your child's life by introducing chess!

More About This Tutor...

As a graduate of Indiana University and a current law student at the Ave Maria School of Law, I was and still very much am driven by a desire to learn and share that knowledge with those around me. I earned a BA in Political Science and a Minor in International Studies with a concentration in Human Rights. These two degrees have helped me gain an understanding of how the world of politics works, and its global impact. Because of my major, I have acquired a great deal of experience in writing essays and preparing presentations. My vocabulary and grammatical skills have grown extensively during my time at Indiana and now at Ave Maria. I have tutored students, including my own sisters, in English, history, and social sciences.
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 ... read more

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

I have a B.S, degree from St. Xavier in Chicago. I have been working in the construction fields for over 15 years and helping my relatives with their school work in my spare time. I found that I like helping children learn more so I am trying to change careers to do that. I have special interest in the science and math fields because that is the hardest to learn for young children and it's the most important knowledge to have in this technical modern world.
I first question the students in what they already know to see the areas that need less instruction. Then I ask them problems from their school texts and see how they do. This will give me some knowledge of where the student is failing and the area that needs more support. I then ask them at the session's end if they learned something and how that makes them feel. This is most important because if the student does not feel ... read more
