Chess lessons for chessplayers of all levels and aspirations - Norwich

Chess lessons for chessplayers of all levels and aspirations

From 35 £ /h

Chess is a very popular game, played regularly by approximately 6 million people in the UK. It enables you to learn how to use limited resources to achieve a set goal, anticipate the future results of present actions, and foresee the future in your mind's eye. It also has a social aspect - post-mortems with opponents and interaction with the tutor and also colleagues in a group setting all help to develop and improve your skills.

I gear my lessons to students' individual needs and, where possible, encourage group interaction. You will be able to observe your own progress, irrespective of your current level of play or future ambition.

I have been an active chessplayer for more than 50 years, and hope that you will gain as much pleasure and enjoyment, and make as many friends through playing chess, as I have done.

Enjoy playing chess and watch your results improve

30 £ /h

In my classes, I interactively enable students to learn about chess openings, tactics, endgames, strategy, and problem-solving techniques. Learning chess improves patience, using finite resources to achieve a goal, being aware of, and curbing, your opponent's strategy, and ability to maintain concentration. I want to enable students to gain a lifetime of enjoyment of chess, as I have done.

KS3/ GCSE
As the lockdown eases, it's time to think about a return to study at school. Firmly established teacher of English since 1998; my specialism is raising the grade - especially tricky 3/4 boundaries. Another strength is accommodating learners with specific learning needs - G&T, ASD, MLD, PP, ADHD, and so forth. KS2 also accommodated.

Tutoring young learners on a one to one basis is so rewarding: the learners not only gain merit certificates and recognition form their schools - but also blossom in confidence and knowledge. To complement the two decades +, other assets include experience as a GCSE examiner for OCR; a thorough understanding of AQA and WJEC AO papers.

ESOL
Developing your spoken/ listening, reading, and writing skills - especially as English for Academic Purposes unlocks your potential and wellbeing. Experience of teaching in universities and specializing in Functional Skills, tutoring is planned around your needs.

Functional Skills
Are you preparing for teaching? Do you want to go for a promotion at work? Do you want to improve your literacy skills? If you need to get a Level 2 in FS English - tutoring is available.
Once described as an expert, teaching the essential skills in English was the core of my management career in FE.

Whatever your needs - contact me to discuss how tutoring can help you change, shape, and free your future.
