Christopher C. - Tutor in Peekskill, NY (10566)

Bonjour! Hello! Je m'appelle Monsieur Cherico. Please call me Chris or Christopher, s'il vous plait.
I began studying French as my selection of a foreign language as a high school student from the 9th grade through 12th and graduated with a New York State Certified Regents seal on my High School Diploma in French, English and History.
I continued with my studies in French particularly, in College beginning as a student in Intermediate studies in French, as I was well educated previously and then furthered my comprehensive knowledge of the French language as a student in Advanced studies,un etudiant de Francais.
I earned a 3.6 GPA Deans List accreditation and French naturally became my favorite subject of interest.
I felt confident in my understanding of French, as indicated by the encouragement of my teachers and professors as my pronunciation and accents of French vocabulary came to me easily, kind of second nature. My familiarity with the understanding of proper grammar, usage, pronunciation and creative expression in conversation also inspired my desire to became even more diligent in my study of French as I read, write and speak the language comfortably and with little or no difficulty.
As having had experience tutoring students in French as well as other subject matter I have found my experience to be exciting, refreshing and enjoyable for the enlightenment and appreciation of my students and for myself as well.
I consistently encourage my students to try their best and not be afraid to make mistakes as learning cannot take place nor can knowledge grow without a certain amount of risk and that one should not feel too frustrated from making the occasional error or two. In an effort to continue working as a Registered and Certified New York State Teaching Assistant I sincerely welcome the opportunity to share my knowledge and instruction of tutoring French to anyone whether they are just being introduced to beginning the study of the French language or for anyone who needs to further their already familiar grasp and understanding of French.
Thank you for your most appreciated attention given to reading about me and I look forward to assisting you and be well assured that your quality of instruction will be outstanding. Au revoir et a bien tot! Good bye and see you soon! Merci bien!
Yours most sincerely,
Christopher Cherico

As an avid Chess player and teacher I have found the lure of the 64 squares of Chess to have been a very exciting and challenging exercise for the mind and for the spirit. I am regarded among those who know me as the Chess Champion of my High School. I am undefeated in various unofficial chess communities and have also played in the United States Chess Federations sponsored Tournaments. I have played the New York State Chess Champions Sunnil Weramantry and previously against Dave Steinberg who was New York's champion previous to Sunnil. I am a student of Bobby Fisher's books and particularly the highly acclaimed Borris Spassky Bobby Fisher World Chess Championships as illustrated in the New York Times best seller which had taken place in 1972. I am aware of the accomplished Kasparov and Karpov Chess grandmasters as current world Chess champions and know extensively about masters of the game throughout history as recorded in many Chess books and now of course made available to all given access to computers via the world wide internet. I have played and studied Chess since I was 9 years old and as an adult have taught in the after school student enrichment programs in Westchester county as a teacher of Chess and tutored in other areas of study that I have extensive knowledge of as well. My name is Christopher and I will teach you the best openings in Chess and the names given to those established lines of play. Winning in Chess depends on your ability to think ahead and recognize the sometimes complex and variable positions on the board with the ability to anticipate your opponents next best move. Variations in Chess are always transposing and changing as the game continues and strong moves and a sound defense is the best way I know to play winning Chess. I look forward to an opportunity to educate students by discovering the world of Chess as your tutor in the understanding of this wonderful game with the application of Chess theory in practice on the chess board of 64 squares. Experience is my best advantage! Thank you! sincerely, Christopher
