Are you asking for yourself or someone else and if someone else what is their age and level of chess playing currently?
I think it is possible to teach online, although I have not received or taught this way. Rates could go anywhere from $15 per hour to $80 per hour.
Komodo 9.3, Stockfish 7 (free download) and Fritz 15 will all teach you quite a few aspects of chess and you only have to pay them once. (I'm assuming you have a computer).
There are some really excellent videos on this site if you become a diamond member that will teach you about openings, middlegames and endings, plus there is Chess Mentor and Chess Tactics trainer. You could read the forums for advice on outstanding chess books or DVD's.
You can go to google and enter "Five Great Chess Books for Beginners."
Just thinking...
All,
I'm sure there are chess teachers out there that coach junior players.
Two questions:
- is it possible to teach online or is personal instruction the only way to go; and
- what's a reasonable rate for a good/excellent teacher.
Thanks in advance for advice.
