Chess private lessons and Math tutoring: Could your child benefit from individualized chess tutoring? Then this is for you.
BEGINNING CHESS PLAYERS – I will teach beginners how to play chess. They will learn the principles of using the pieces, chess openings, strategies, tactics, and how to use chess as a tool to build relationships. INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS will learn how to annotate and analyze their games. They will also memorize a checklist to recite to themselves before each move. This will help them make smarter tactical decisions. ADVANCED CHESS STUDENTS may choose to do chess puzzles, work through chess books, watch chess videos by Grand Masters, or just play and have me comment on their moves. The minimum number of chess students per session that I will accept is two and the maximum is eight. Each tutoring session will be at least one hour, but may extend up to 20 minutes longer so students can complete a game or learn a new strategy. Tutoring sessions will never end early except by parent request. FEES: 1-3 students $30 per session 4-8 students $50 per session. If you are struggling financially, then we can adjust fees and work out a plan. I am available for tutoring sessions Monday through Friday around my teaching schedule and room availability. MATH: I am also available to tutor math from basic operations through algebra.
Sometimes a student needs just a bit more focused attention in certain areas in math. I am available to tutor students at all levels through Algebra 1. While I'm most familiar with Math-U-See or Saxon, I could also help with other publishers' programs. Bring your math books and homework assignments, and let's work on this together. $25/30 min
Do you... Struggle identifying your child's learning style? Suspect dyslexia or dysgraphia? Need help implementing sensory strategies? Wonder what curriculum is the best fit for your child? Wish your child's IEP was tailored to your homeschooling goals?
