My name is Camilo and I grew up in NYC. I was educated in a French school and my parents are Colombian which has allowed me to be trilingual. This means that I can provide a service for French and Spanish-speaking people. I have also taken the TOEFL in order to provide professional evidence of my expertise.

My name Is Camilo and I am an Experienced international chess player that speaks English, French, and Spanish. I am a 1700+ rated chess player that has participated in clubs and tournaments throughout my career with 5 years of tutoring experience. Being trilingual has allowed me to teach people from all over the world. I first began by helping children with their French and Spanish as well as their organizational skills. However, I ended up gravitating toward my passion which is chess. I have various courses and modules prepared for each session. I also adapt very well to the level of experience of each student and what their goals are. Over three years I have developed a syllabus for my students, which includes: lesson 1 Chess Board and Pawn movement, Lesson 2 Review of Pawns, Lesson 3 The Bishops, Lesson 4 the Rooks, lesson 5 the Knights and the Queen, Lesson 6 the King and Checkmate, Lesson 7 Pawn Promotion and Stalemate, lesson 8 Castling, Lesson 9 Drawn games, lesson 10 Checkmate, Lesson 11 opening principles, and the Lesson 12 forking. This method has shown to help all of my students but as I said before I am happy and very capable of adapting to each student. This, of course, means that for my more advanced students I have a different syllabus for them more advanced lessons like for example “Pinning”. I also always prepare a puzzle for each session to challenge my students in various ways. I love tutoring because I am still young and therefore tend to develop great relationships with my students. Chess is of course my passion so joining both is a dream of mine. I tend to teach younger students from ages 6-18 but don't mind other age groups. I worked with children that went to my old school which is the Lycee Francais de New York. Feel free to contact me at any time, I will really try my best to work with your schedule. I hope you will give me an opportunity to help you because this is truly an amazing game!
