I played regularly from 1st-grade through high school. I taught chess classes at Amador, Dublin Elementary, Kolb, and Cottonwood through Pacific Chess Academy and DPIE in 2018. With ongoing coaching, study, and practice, I should be able to raise the level your child to D level to enable him or her to participate in formal chess tournaments.

I have successfully tutored students private in math at the 5-7th grade level, at which learning practical math and thinking skills is critical.

I am currently providing this service in response to a specific Talentnook request. I have been tutoring students in 5-6th grade math and chess (at all levels) over the past year. I was an A student from elementary school through MBA school (UC level). I have had a long successful career as a Software Learning Program Manager working in hi-tech. I currently parent two honor students in the 8th grade. I have a very good understanding of child development, and I am highly knowledgeable about learning and skill development. I am also highly knowledgeable about Health, Diet, and Wellness and how these factors can affect performance. Last but not least, I love to read, travel, spend time in nature, and continuously learn!
