About Mark

I'm knowledgeable and patient. I believe it is important to build on the student's confidence as well as their skills, because panic hurts performance almost as bad as being unprepared.

I have a Masters and a degree in Economics from Southern Illinois University. I am a professional economist with a heavy background in math and statistics. I've been active in this discipline for over 30 years in a wide variety of industries. I was also in the Air Force.

Currently, I tutor in Economics, Math, and Chess.

In addition to my Masters in Econ, and minor in Math, I'm an experienced chess player and coach.

I have been playing chess competitively since the mid-70's. I am a certified Chess Coach and a Local Tournament Director, and have run chess clubs in many different locations-even internationally. My current chess rating puts me in the top 5% of competitive players in Texas and the top 10% in the US.

I assess the level of a student's interest and knowledge and customize my approach to the student's knowledge and interest level. While I have a set curriculum, not everyone has every skill in the same way, so I customize and emphasize having fun. When the student has fun, the skills come easily. I've worked with very young kids and older adults, groups, clubs, and schools.

My top motivator is learning new things, and I enjoy working with students of all ages who are trying to learn new things. My students range from 5 to adult, and I have great rapport with all of them.

Chess is more than just my favorite game. Chess strengthens logical thinking, strategy formation, spatial reasoning, calculation, and other key skills. It makes you more successful in your academic studies.

I like helping people learn. Chess makes learning fun.

I've coached chess to beginners, sharing my expertise and love of the game.  If the student enjoys it, I've never found a student too young.  My son knew the names of the pieces at 1, and could set up the board at 2. He knew the moves at 3 and could play at 4.  His first tournament was at 6.  



I have been playing for many years, have an extensive library of chess instruction.  I'm a certified local chess coach and local tournament director through the US Chess Federation.  I'm very knowledgeable about the rules, history, and strategy of the game.

Students have a wide variety of knowledge to start.  I begin with an assessment so we can build on existing skills and emphasize the student building confidence at every level.

I've worked with students from elementary to 70.  Most of my students are youths 10 or older.  Younger kids are capable of learning but may not have the focus to make it worthwhile.  

Once I know my student grasps the basics, I introduce short cuts and error checking so they can improve problem solving.
