I have been playing chess since 4th grade and I am an undergraduate student at the Ohio State University studying Business now. I have been to many national tournaments and will soon achieve a chess t... itle with the United States Chess Federation. I had a coach during middle school and that propelled my chess abilities, I know that a teacher that cares and puts effort in matters in unleashing potential. I have a deep love for the game and want to grow it as much as possible. I started a position at Chess.com helping to grow campus involvement in the Chess Club and am their treasurer. I am open to students aged 6+ of all levels of exposure to the game whether you are just learning how to initially move the pieces, you're revisiting chess after playing some in your childhood, or you've been a continuous player since it's become more popular online. All are welcome. read more

Hello, and thank you for checking out my profile! My name is Richard Karp. I was born in New York City - one of the world's most happening places for chess. Being exposed to business culture early on,... I decided to major in Economics at the Ohio State University. I have some informal tutoring experience, whether helping beginners in my University's chess club or hosting impromptu tournaments that are fun for all and draw people closer to the game. In addition, I have ties to Chess.com and am my University's club treasurer helping to fund national tournament trips. I want to tutor students in chess as I believe it has innumerable benefits for anyone, young or old. I know it has changed my life and is such a rich game; everyone is constantly learning, which I greatly enjoy. I had a coach during my earlier days of playing the game, so I understand the importance of having someone teach you in your chess career. It helped my rating exponentially. I hope I get a chance to meet with you, and feel free to reach out with any inquiries.read more
