From 51.52 C$ /h

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.

I specialized in tutoring math and the SAT/ACT exams. With appropriate explanation and guidance based on over 15 years of tutoring along with homework for practice and/or preview, my student can master any challenging concepts or topics in math up-to Calculus. There will be periodic review to confirm if students retain what they learned properly, and I will provide periodic progress report.

I am an Electrical Engineer, I have been teaching physics and mathematics at all levels for many years, although I am an engineer I love teaching, it is what I like the most, I could say more than engineering xD

I assure you that I can teach any topic, you just need to give me the information that you need attention on or want to learn and I will prepare my particular course for you, each person is different and I base my course on shaping it individually.
