Chess is great for improving a young person’s concentration and strategic thinking. Educational research has shown that students who learn chess have improved their math abilities, and their general academic performance. Chess Tutoring Beginner will be a 1 hour session each week at FPHRC. This will include playing time and instruction. Our goals for students in the Beginner Tutoring are to learn how to play chess, to learn the principles of using the pieces, openings, strategies, tactics, and how to help students reach their potential as chess players and Christian young people. Every session will include a motivational Chess “Life Lesson” as we discuss what God wants us to learn from life and playing chess.
We are thankful to God for the success of the chess program at FPHRC. We have won first place, and third place as a team at chess tournament competitions. This will be Mr. Snyder's fifth semester at FPHRC. He has a Masters in Teaching from WSUV. He has been a public and private school teacher for the last 20 years. Before that he was an advertising manager, graphic designer, and computer technician. He is currently a professional Christian artist. He enjoys Bible Study, chess, reading, swimming, and hiking. He is a widower with an adult son and daughter. Parents: Please try to be available to volunteer for the tournaments we have each school year. God has blessed us with this building, and many hard working families, but we need more help. Please contact Tom Snyder 360-721-1232 or one of our chess tournament team for more information.

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.
