Beginner chess players will learn about all of the chess pieces and how they move along with beginner chess strategies and tactics. Yes, it's a difficult game but everyone has to start at the beginning and build their knowledge up from there in a none competitive way first. I will be on screen the entire time as my slides and chess board due to some cool green screen software. This will help the beginners to feel much more engaged and able to see everything clearly. I started as a beginner chess player as a hobby back in my early 30's and then watched hundreds of hours of the top 20 professional chess players in the world playing tournaments. I was taught by a very talented Norwegian teacher that taught me how to not only be very aggressive on the chess board but also maintain flow and finesse. ****************************************************************************************************************************************** Parents, please understand that teachers keep less than 50% of the list price after Outshool's -30% hosting fee is paid for each class, our self employment taxes are taken out and all other teaching expenses are met as well as the actual time and energy it takes to teach young learners. I’m doing my own thing here on Outschool as far as pricing, after 4 years of frustration with a group rate and minimum enrollments, I'm listing classes with a 1:1 class rate so that I don't have to turn folks away if only 1 student enrolls. This will allow me to teach this course no matter how many are enrolled and still be compensated appropriately for my 2 hours of time. If you have questions about this, please message me! ************************************************************************************************************************************************ Beginner chess is an excellent tool for learning how to focus the mind. Class 1: The pieces and how they move Notation Class 2: The buddy system Class 3: How to set up the board Game rules Class 4 Basic strategy. ✨🏆♟♟♟🖤🌎✨✨🏆♟♟♟🖤

Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Bob Jones University
Nothing more rewarding, as an educator, than to see faces light up with joy after accomplishing something they thought was much too difficult to accomplish!
Sometimes, a learner needs to be gently nudged beyond what they think they can do. Tears and frustration sometimes follow but are usually just an outburst of fear and a ploy for me to let them give up.
Because of my years of one-on-one teaching experiences, as a teacher (and the mother of two), I feel I’ve mastered the crucial teaching finesse of helping learners through their learning fears.
As a seasoned learner and educator (and never a brick and mortar teacher) my super power is creating a fun, patient, loving and safe atmosphere for students of all ages.

Because of my passion for learning, home education and teaching, I committed and took the ultimate plunge and educated my own two children (son and daughter) at home from the time they were born (they were never in day care) until they both started in an early middle college.
Early middle college is where students take a high school along with a combined schedule with real college classes all on a technical college campus. Both started taking real college classes at age 14, both finished a bachelor degree by age 21 and graduated with honors.
At age 16, I was hired for my first official job, at my local music store to teach private piano lessons. I taught many students in my two years there and then I went on to earn my B.S. in Music Education. Since then, I've taught private piano lessons over the years to folks from ages 4-84.
For 3.5 years I was with VIPKid and taught 5,922 one on one, twenty five minute, online, immersion English lessons to 1680 different Chinese children ages 3-16.
For 4 semesters, I was one of around 150 elite teachers, hand picked out of over 160,000 teachers to be allowed to teach classrooms full of rural Chinese students in a live online session. That was super fun!
Currently, I’m a “Master” piano and voice instructor at my local Music & Arts store and at a booming dance and music studio, as well as teaching lessons in my own home.
I'm extremely busy 56 year old and in high demand, teaching all of my talents and hobbies.
Over my life, as a curious and hard working "multipotentialite", I've definitely not been afraid to push myself constantly, at every age, to learn new and exciting things.
