Chess with Victoria: Upbeat, Certified Teacher/Coach with Diploma in Chess Education

I am the author of the middle grade chess fantasy, "The Princess, the Knight, and the Lost God: A Chess Story", available on Barnes and Noble and Amazon (check both for best price available!) I have an article published called "Chess Magic in the Classroom". Welcome, (beginners/those with some experience) chess students of all ages! Chess lessons should be FUN, and with me, they are! Thanks to today's technology, chess seems made to be taught online. No more wasted time (and your money) spent on setting and resetting boards, as I will present instruction, puzzles, games, and points of entry immediately. Not only am I certified in chess education, but I have a master's degree in general education, am a certified elementary teacher, have a background check on file, and am an expert instructor. In addition to one-to-one guidance teaching you the rules and strategies of chess, we will prepare you to play your own games online with other students which we can immediately professionally analyze afterward onscreen (to help you replay and understand where you can improve) thanks to my software that you will see on my shared screen. We'll "go to the movies" and watch fun instructional videos to which I am able to provide special access, on a great variety of chess strategies. And, for elementary students, at no extra cost, you will have 24/7 access to practice your chess in a KID-SAFE ZONE as one of my dozens of chess students. In addition to tutoring chess privately for many years, I have run school chess clubs and used chess to enrich my elementary curriculum since 2007. I have taken my teams to win local tournaments. I've taught chess to students ranging from kindergarten age to senior citizens. Come join me and let me guide you to success in the most exciting land of kings and queens!

Both piano and chess lessons provide ideal enrichment for public, private, and home-schooled students.

I have a certificate in Chess Ed. from UT at Dallas. I've included chess in my classroom since 2007 and increased students' chess strength for tournaments and personal enjoyment. Beginners or students with under 1200 ratings may apply. Both piano and chess lessons provide ideal enrichment for public, private, and home-schooled students. Let me support your specific goals and enhance your love of learning! Hope to hear from you soon! :-)
