Brief Description
My lessons are especially designed for children beginning at six years of age up to adolescent years, preparing them for fun, yet competitive play. I believe that the most important element in learning to excel in anything is passion! It quickens the mind and adds fuel to talent. Students are excited to learn and to get their chance to compete. Previous students in particular learned not only how to play chess in a few weeks, but outplayed the other kids in the scholastic tournament sections! If the student and parent/guardian is willing to progress at a quicker rate for a strong competitive edge, homework will be assigned every lesson for completion and be reviewed the next session. Teaching course designed to suit each student. I live in Elizabeth and can cover the Parker, Castlerock, Franktown, Kiowa, and surrounding areas. I am willing to travel to meet the student at an agreed location. |

| Randy Reynolds Phone: 970-310-4224 Email: randy_teyana@msn.com Rating: 1581 Ages: all (most experienced with children) Location: Ft. Collins Willing to travel: Yes, depending on proximity |
Brief Description I've been involved with chess for 5 years in Colorado, 15 years overall. I've had two years chess tutoring experience, tutoring scholastic students in a one-on-one environment. One student won 7th overall in his division and has gained the title of chess champion at his school last year. I have helped direct tournaments for scholastic players and have good experience in working with children. I deal mostly with beginning/intermediate tutoring because of my lower rating, but I definitely have a lot to teach those in those categories. If you're looking for a good instructor/coach in Northern Colorado in a comfortable environment, look no further. References available upon request. |
