NOTES:
- All
times are Pacific time zone.
- This
weekly schedule is only for my serious chess lessons. Each student receives a 1 to 2 hour time slot, with
the longer lessons being for more advanced students. I will
guarantee a lesson longer than 60 minutes only for students rated over
1800. Lessons of 90 or more minutes
are reserved only for my elite students.
- I expect students to be punctual for lessons. As a general rule for online meetings,
students should plan to log into ICC (and Skype) at least 5 minutes
early. Please say hello when you
are ready. (tell fpawn hello, are you ready?)
- I only accept new students if they are available
during one of the open slots in this schedule. Please note
that I reserve about 2 hours on each weekday for dinner and family time.
Hence, most of my classes will be between 3:30-6:00 and 7:45-10:00.
Students who are available between 1:00-3:00 (Early Afternoon) or
9:00-10:30 (Late Evening) stand a better chance of obtaining a time slot.
- Although I do teach on Saturday and Sunday
afternoons and evenings, students must expect an average of about 1-2
cancellations a month due mostly to weekend chess
tournaments and sometimes to family commitments.
- My
goal is to limit myself to four lessons
daily for no more than six hours total to minimize the
chance of burnout towards the end of the day.
- I typically set my teaching schedule in August of
each year, with minor modifications in January and June. If
you need to change your time slot at another time, please understand that
I will most likely have to switch you with another student. Therefore, I
welcome any flexibility so that I can accompany students whose schedules
do change.
