Chess Lessons, for beginners and advanced, interested in chess.

Chess is often depicted in popular culture as a game for the elderly, but this is not true. Chess is a wonderful game that does not divide people by age, gender, race, religion or physical condition. It is a game that embraces everyone who chooses to explore it. Especially for children, I’ve witnessed the benefits of a young person’s dedication to the game firsthand. I’ve seen countless ways that playing competitively has enhanced education – not just with the nuts and bolts of the game itself, but from all the psychological benefits chess has given to them.

The range of emotions present during learning chess, serves as a strong reminder of how important chess can be in the lives of young people, despite its reputation. Chess is like magic.

I am waiting for your messages, at whatever age you are, to explore this magical world together, to experiment, to have fun and to see how far our potential can go. In addition, as a preschool teacher, I offer lessons to infants older than 30 months.

The courses are offered either in my place or online, in the difficult covid times we are going through.

Extra information

I provide complete material for the realization of the courses, which concerns photocopies and books.

About Me

Welcome to my profile!
My name is Aspasia and I was born and raised in Greece! I have a bachelor degree in preschool education, and now I'm current medical student.

Being interested in children’s developmental abilities, I am taking special training in the field of education. One of them is the annual Special Education program organized by National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Moreover, since 2016, I have been working in children's summer camps with children from 6 years to 17 years old. Each camp is 22 days long and within that framework I was responsible for children's program, educational activities, gymnastics, entertainment and care.

I have also worked with children with special needs at both public and private children camps. Since 2019 I have been working at a summer camp for disabled people under the auspices of the Athenian municipality. Up to now, I have worked with children with autism and ADHD, with mental retardation, mentally disabled, children with chronic incurable diseases (aids and diabetes type one) and children with cerebral palsy. As I believe that the safety of the children is of extreme importance, I am taking special first aid training by the Hellenic Red Cross from September of 2019. Thenceforward, I am offering my services voluntarily to Hellenic Red Cross, having participated in very important actions and disasters. Some of them are: volunteering during the spread of the covid-19 pandemic in the men's and women's penitentiaries of Korydallos in Athens. In addition, I participated in the outbreak of a refugee issue that arose on the island of Tzia and, finally, I participated in the mission that was sent to the refugee camp of Lesvos island, in Kara te Pe, providing medical care and helping the RFL (Restoring Family Links) office of Red Cross, after the fire that broke out in Moria area.

Finally, being a professional chess coach, and FIDE arbiter, I have been working with preschool children (from 3.5 years) to adolescents up to 15 years and adults. I experiment with various methods that allow me to see how I can transfer knowledge and manage preschool children and adolescents to a different educational context.

A good example is that ; as a professional musician, I always try to include music in my classes as an educational tool designed to improve the development of my students, regardless of whether they have disabilities or follow a typical developmental course. I believe that music and its use in every way possible, both in the classroom and in the intervention, has only a positive impact on students' progress and development.

Have you ever wondered what everything you see, feel and taste around you really consists of? The answer is CHEMISTRY! Chemistry is everywhere in the world around us! It's in the food you eat, clothes you wear, water you drink, medicines, air, cleaners... you name it. Chemistry helps you to understand the world around you. Why do leaves change color in the fall? Why are plants green? How is cheese made? What is in soap and how does it clean? These are all questions that can be answered by applying some chemistry lessons with me. Chemistry sometimes is called the "central science" because it connects other sciences to each other, such as biology, physics, geology, and environmental science. Why learn chemistry? Because you will develop... 1. A logical and independent mind. 2. Excellent analytical skills. 3. Flexibility. 4. Scientific and numerical skills. 5. Meticulous attention to detail and accuracy. 6. Written and oral communication skills. Contact me to explore the magical world of chemistry together!
Biology is our nature! Because of biology every leaving organism exists, and continue the chain of life. Biology is one of the most beautiful and important chapters of science, and it is also important for everyone to learn, at least, the most basic things.

Gamze
Experienced English Teacher (B.S.Ed.) / Gifted Education Mentor (M.S.Ed.)
Hi there! I am an English teacher with 10 years of experience. In addition to teaching at school, I give interactive and holistic English lessons to groups or individuals. My academic field is the education of gifted students. I also conduct out-of-school support activities with these students and provide counseling to parents. Before we start working together, I offer a free initial meeting to get to know you and understand your needs. I am based in Haarlem, the Netherlands but I also offer online classes all over the world. I believe that any kind of effective learning is an adventure that begins with a personal bond and ends with autonomy. Peter Drucker says, "Learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change, and the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn." In this age, every paradigm is changing very fast, so the teacher must help students find out how they learn best. Instead of continuing to deliberately learn something for years, let's find this "know-how" for English and ourselves together!

Whether a student is a beginner or an advanced learner, I am able to tailor my lessons to their level and pace of learning. In addition to teaching Arabic grammar and vocabulary, I also incorporate cultural elements into my lessons. I believe that learning about the culture and customs of Arabic-speaking countries is an essential part of language learning, as it helps students develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of the language. I hold a degree in bachelor's and am fluent in Arabic, French, and English]. I am also familiar with a range of teaching methods and materials and am able to adapt my teaching approach to suit the needs of each individual student.

Stephen J.
Chess class for beginners: Understand the basic principles, learn how to analyse the chessboard and build a strong foundation as a chess player
Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame. The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation. Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress. I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.
