    Tutorship

    I have taught chess at various levels in numerous settings throughout my adult life and the during the last twenty years or so I’ve taught English Language & Literature, thus am well-versed in the maieutic art of communication as well.

    During Covid-19 concerns, I am available for tutorship for those within travel distance of my home town, that being Luton for OTB tutorship. For tutorship online, access to a webcam and a good connection is all that is required.

    Such matters can be discussed further by email:
