I'm offering very inexpensive chess lessons. I am a strong Class A player (1950 USCF). Send me a private message or email me at "hester [dot] j [at] gmail [dot] com". Choose a time control, and we'll play on the Free Internet Chess Server (
www.freechess.org). After the game we'll go over concepts that you seem to be having trouble with for as long as you like. For now, I will offer this service before receiving payment if you agree to post a review of my services in this thread.
Why buy a chess lesson from me?
I have experience teaching math to both kids and adults. (I can provide a letter of reference from the mother of one of my former students.) This should transfer very easily to chess.
I have a firm grasp of the English language and can explain things clearly.
I type very fast (80+ WPM), so you won't spend much time sitting and waiting.
I'm currently offering very low rates.
My rates:
1.5 BTC per hour, or 1 BTC per hour if you purchase multiple hours up-front (this offer is valid at any time, even if you have already bought several individual lessons at the higher rate). 10% off individual lessons if you pay up-front.
These rates are subject to change if and when I receive positive reviews.
Feel free to ask any questions in this thread, via PM, or via email.
