Over the past couple of years I've been teaching chess and I'd like to expand into the online market. I've already begun making lessons for various strengths of player. If you're interested in lessons, please let me know:

In what areas do you want to improve?
What is your goal in terms of a rating?
Are there any openings you're particularly interested in?
What do you consider a reasonable rate?
How strong a teacher would you be interested in? How much Experience?
Do you prefer lessons over the phone, via IM or in person if possible?
What is your preferred pace?

For those who are interested, here's my chess resume:

Peak ratings: Chess.com 2195. Playchess Server (Slow) 2100.
Best Performances (OTB only): 2058 Grade 12 Provincial Championship. 2056 Paul Hake Memorial.
Nova Scotia Grade 12 Representative to the Canadian Chess Challenge (=5).
Have coached beginners over the past two years, and have tutored in Math and Physics.
Very knowledgeable about endgames, dangerous and unorthodox openings, and more orthodox positional openings as well as chess culture and history.
Has access to a dozen classic instructive texts and chess puzzle books.
After May 20 I will be available at any time.
I speak English and can get by in French.
