I have been playing chess for 4 years and have achieved a 1200 rating, which is a testament to my dedication to the game and my skill level. I have participated in numerous local tournaments, consiste... ntly achieving top placements in my rating area. Although I may not have formal teaching experience, I have regularly tutored my peers and friends in chess. I have a knack for breaking down complex concepts into easily understandable parts, which makes learning chess accessible and enjoyable for beginners and intermediate players. As a high school student, I have developed a strong work ethic through balancing my academic commitments with chess training. This discipline has taught me the importance of time management and setting achievable goals, skills that I can impart to my students. My enthusiasm for chess is infectious, and I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to inspire others to love the game as much as I do. Chess is not just a hobby for me; it's a lifelong passion. While I am committed to my high school education, I can offer flexible tutoring hours after school and on weekends. I am also willing to adapt to your scheduling needs to accommodate students.read more
