Class Experience

Private: 1:1 Chess Tutoring Sessions
This class is for students in grades K-6 who are new to the game or have a basic understanding of it and want to improve their skills. Chess will enhance reading and math skills and improve critical thinking abilities. Chess provides long-term skills for children to think and plan strategically. Children will learn essential chess play, structure, and function of the pieces. I have fine-tuned my chess teaching method to construct an easy way for kids to learn how to play the game.   

Lessons will include:   1. Critical thinking skills 2. Beginning, middle, and end game   3. Piece development. 4. Rules and information about playing chess. 5. Basic chess formations  

Structure of the course:
Parental input is suggested to create the best plan possible. 
Week One: Review of chess basics, board setup up, and pawn game
Week Two: Beginning, middle, and end game 
Week Three: Strategies in play 
or 
I can build a weekly course plan based on your child's chess level.

Other Details
