I have a former student, 20 years old, rated about 1500, great with kids, totally reliable, always prepared, who will work alone or assist someone in an after school chess club. She's fabulous-- you won't regret it. Rates vary by distance, degree of responsibility, etc., but start at the very reasonable $30/hour. She's available any day except Friday (right now). Email me or leave a comment here and I will contact you. Thanks.
In other news, I'm in England for a long weekend. I always am surprised by how incredibly cold English people keep their houses. bloody freezing. I went this evening to hear my stepmother sing in a choir. Choirs = uplifting.
my dad
my stepmother, Judy
myself, my late grandmother, my youngest brother, Adam
On Wednesday, I'm going to Grade Nationals in Florida, hoping for glory. more soon....
There's a nice family resemblance between you and your grandmother, which the purple accentuates.
ReplyDeleteDoes chess run in the family?
England? Lucky you! Have fun.
ReplyDeletepower to the purple people :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures. I've heard the same thing from other people about cold English homes. Are gas/oil much more expensive there, or are the British just tougher than we are?
ReplyDeleteElizabeth: Since you like Malcolm Gladwell and are yourself a teacher, you might enjoy this December 15th New Yorker article by him, on teachers and the hard-to-pin-down quality of "withitness" that makes for effective teaching: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/12/15/081215fa_fact_gladwell?yrail Also a lot of stuff in the article about quarterbacks. :-)
