C$52Chess classes for all levels including beginners and for all ages

Playing chess offers a wide range of mental and personal benefits. It sharpens the mind by improving concentration, memory, and problem-solving skills. Since every move requires deep thought and careful planning, chess encourages critical thinking and helps players learn how to evaluate situations logically before making decisions. It also stimulates creativity, as players often need to find new tactics and innovative ways to overcome challenges on the board. Beyond mental growth, chess provides important life lessons. It teaches patience, discipline, and the value of long-term planning. Losing a game builds resilience and encourages players to learn from mistakes, while winning boosts confidence and self-esteem. Chess is also a social activity, connecting people of all ages and cultures, whether played face-to-face or online. Because of these qualities, chess is often called the “gymnasium of the mind,” as it exercises and strengthens mental abilities much like physical training strengthens the body.

C$40Intro To Photography: How To Use A Camera and Derive Meaning From Images

In the modern world, many people have the ability to take a picture. With such a vast accessibility to photography, how does one distinguish the difference between a "good" photo and one that might not be memorable? How can the way a collection of photos is selected, formatted, and sequenced give meaning? In this course, students will begin by learning the basic functions of a camera, including ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. A manual film or digital camera is required for the course As the class continues, we will discuss styles of photography, notable photographers in history, and how to derive meaning from your images.

Alex - Milwaukie, ORC$103

C$103Guitar & Bass Lessons: Zoom, in-studio, or in the comfort of your home

I'm Alex, a working musician with more than 20 years experience teaching students of all ages. Every student is different, so every lesson is different. When you study with me, you focus on what you want to do, not a one-size-fits-all lesson plan. Take lessons where it's convenient for you. If you're local, you can learn to play your instrument at my home studio in Milwaukie, Oregon. Or, for a relatively small added fee, you can take lessons in your own home within about 15 minutes of zip code 97267--approximately as far north as Southeast Portland, Oregon, and south to about West Linn. If you're further away—really anywhere in the world with an internet connection and a videoconferencing app—you can learn to play via Zoom, Facetime, or whatever other video conferencing app you prefer to use. Lessons are tailored to your needs, tastes and skill level. I teach virtually all styles of guitar and electric bass, beginner to pro. I also teach beginner to intermediate banjo. I've taught guitar—including songwriting, composition, and theory—at the Austin Live Music Academy (ALMA) founded by Jerry Jeff Walker. I've taught adults and children at music schools around Portland, and K-12 students in after-school and summer programs at such prestigious private schools as Catlin-Gabel and the German International School. And I've performed with numerous well-known musicians and bands across the USA including The Motet, Twinkle, Kenny Drew Jr., and Harmonious Wail, to name a few.

Nick - Portland, ORC$103

C$103Drum Lessons For Students From Age 7 to 70 in Portland

I begin by having a phone conversation with you, or your parent, (which ever is appropriate) so we can establish a sense of our compatibility, comfort level and direction. I like working with beginning students; a good teacher can help you get there faster, but I also enjoy helping: working professionals playing in lots of bands, or drumming for years! Lessons are written or verbally expressed for the individual student! Teaching you the “METHOD”, a uniquely simple approach, will help ... you concentrate on finger control, independence, speed, endurance, bounce and to perfect balance between your hands and feet, all in a relaxed manner.. I also incorporate the “MOELLER METHOD”. This approach to drumming uses bio-mechanics and ergonomics to support smoother, injury-free playing. Your own body will teach you how to accomplish this. Your speed and power will increase as well. Extra information We’ll start by working on: Drum pads and a metronome, to perfect your inner rhythms and relaxing techniques Use of mirrors, so you can self-monitor your hands and body mechanics creating a comfort level, and easily correct your technique. By using mirrors you can create a visual approach that encourages concentration on the consistent, even sound of your sticks, bass drum pedal, and hi-hat pedal along with keeping good posture. I teach in my home studio where I have 2 drum sets, several practice pads, bass drum practice pads, hi-hats and mirrors and metronomes. You can look forward to learning a fun discipline, and a simple philosophy with a relaxed and exciting approach to the drums rather than styles of music. You can take what you learn in any direction you choose. I love playing drums, wouldn’t you love to play too? Come join me for the fun of playing. There is nothing more satisfying, and rewarding, for me, and hopefully for you, then learning to play the drums!

Diego Martínez - Portland, ORC$52

C$52Spanish Native Teacher. Private Spanish lessons for all ages.

First of all, I always like to have a first lesson to determine both the level and the needs of the student. In this way, I can gradually develop a flexible lesson plan, subject to possible changes according to the different needs that may arise. My lessons, in general, tend to be dynamic and entertaining, so that my students are engaged from beginning to end, even though I know that all learning has fun moments and moments that require more effort from both the student and the teacher. I have specialized in intercultural language teaching. In this way, I use cultural materials during my classes and make my cultural background available to the students, thus encouraging s their curiosity and thirst for knowledge, so that they learn both a language and a new culture.

Quinn - Portland, ORC$52

C$52Professional English Tutoring With Native US Teacher with 3+ Years of Experience

Trusted teacher: Hi there! My name is Quinn K., and I am a TEFL-certified professional English/Foreign language teacher with a passion for a multitude of languages. I have taught English all over the pacific rim, in Vietnam, Korea and Japan, both at professional English-teaching schools and with private tutoring. I have also tutored English for several years in Portland, Oregon. In Vietnam I privately tutored a wide variety of age groups in English, ranging from Kindergarten to college-aged students. I tutored younger age groups in English Vocabulary and Conversation skills, and college students for IELTS/TOEFL prep and general professional English. In Seoul, South Korea I worked at a school for North Korean refugees, teaching conversational English to large classes. In Japan, I worked at an after-school program teaching English to middle school students, employing ESL games and structured lessons for students. Through these various English-teaching endeavors, I believe I have a strong skill-set for teaching English to all age groups, and in the full range of contexts (Conversational-to business English). Once returning to the United States, I began one-on-one tutoring sessions for professional and conversational English. In total I have 3 years of professional experience tutoring and teaching English. In combination with my TEFL certification, which has strengthened the backbone of my lessons in professional English, my qualifications and experiences make me the perfect pick for all of your English tutoring needs :) I also speak and tutor a wide variety of foreign languages, including French, Spanish, Cantonese, and Korean. I have extensive background in all of these languages (grammar, pronunciation, etc.), and can teach them as fluidly as I can English. I have tutored these languages privately for two years now here in Portland.
