Chess is one of my top subjects! 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.

Chess is one of my top subjects! I have played chess for 15 years recreationally, and truly enjoy the game.

I have experience in English, advanced reading and writing skills due to Advanced Placement classes I took in high school. I have 15 years experience in playing chess recreationally and joined various chess clubs in school. I worked as a tutor/teaching assistant at Kumon Math & Reading Center, tutoring children ages 4-14. I also spent time as a freelance proofreader and beta reader for a website, Agent Query connect for aspiring authors.

Austin Chess Teacher - Online and In-person Lessons

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 master-level players rated as high as 2300. I give weekly one-hour lessons online and in-person. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic online lessons are preferable.

Former newspaper writer/editor looking to help writers

I am a former newspaper writer/editor having worked in the journalism business for 18 years. I worked as a sports writer for the first half of my journalism career, having covered the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Mavericks. I interviewed professional athletes, coaches, and league officials to find out what was going on with the team and I attended home and away games and wrote about what happened. Later, I became a news writer/editor, covering crime, politics, and education. Currently, I am in PR, writing press releases for a major Texas state agency.

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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have worked with adults. I prefer a one on one direct instruction and mentoring, keeping everything simple and fun. I am not sure how well I would be with children; I have none of my own and have not spent much time with my nephews and nieces. I have worked with a few of my friends children, helping them understand algebra, showing them how simple it really is and how it can be fun.
As a engineer I have been training operators in everything form SPC to troubleshooting for 30 years. I am a volunteer tutor for Adult ESL & GED for the Literacy Council of Williamson County since June 2009.

More About This Tutor...

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. ... read more

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 be ... read more
