I, Jonathan Whitcomb, can drive to your community, if you live in the Salt Lake Valley (at least if it’s not too many miles from where I live in Murray). I am available for chess lectures in public libraries or to other groups, probably at no charge.
I also offer my services as in private chess lessons at $25 per hour-long sessions. These tutoring lessons can be at your home or at a public park or library in the Salt Lake Valley. The first introductory session is free, to allow us to get to know each other:
- How I can best help you in lessons
- Where you now stand in your chess abilities
About Jonathan Whitcomb
For those who would like to know a bit about me before deciding to take private chess lessons, here is a brief summary.
My wife Gladys and I moved to Murray, Utah, early in 2014, from Long Beach, California, where we had a large family child care home for many years. She retired from her child care business after about thirty years of work, and we left it in good standing with the state licensing organization, with families who were happy with how we cared for their children (references available).
Jonathan and Gladys after they moved to the Salt Lake Valley
I helped my wife in a number of ways, including driving children to and from school and giving chess lessons. I also taught some of the children piano lessons.
In my education and in my own business ventures, I have had various experiences, including the following:
- Graduated from Control Data Institute in Pasadena, California
- Certified by the American Guild of Court Videographers
- Led a small expedition in Papua New Guinea in 2004
- Wrote four nonfiction books in eight editions
- Published a scientific paper in a peer-reviewed journal
Chess lessons in this part of Utah
The Salt Lake area of the state does not have a specially deep or broad history of chess accomplishments, at least not in comparison to large cities and states in other areas of the country. Yet we do have at least two grandmasters and a number of masters.
You can call me at 801-590-9692 (or contact my by email) and ask me what you will concerning the game of chess. We can discuss the game without your committing to any private lessons, so feel free to get in touch with me.
