Education and Child Development:
CHESS TUTORS: As a division of People Making
Progress, Inc., Chess Tutors is solely devoted to students’
development of life skills and academic success. Our instructors
are affiliated with the United States Chess Federation and
have been trained to make learning fun.
Chess Tutors has consistently trained and mobilized its corps
of volunteers to successfully educate children. We use chess
as a vehicle to capture students’ interest in learning.
Our aim is to use our curriculum to give students in the K-8th
grade confidence that they can learn and apply the basic strategies
and techniques we teach them through the game of chess.
They can apply the learned concentration methods to master
the principles needed to be excellent in solving mathematic
equations, grasping English concepts, understand science theories
and solve life problems. Chess Tutors is more than a teaching
tool, it is the instruction and application of life skills.
TEST TUTORS: The Test Tutors Program, established
in the Los Angeles area school systems, serves at-risk youth;
helping them achieve academic success through tutoring as
well as societal success through mentoring in areas such as
self-esteem, self-control, self-discipline and teamwork.
The aim of this program is to empower children to lead productive
lives in their communities through education, caring volunteers,
and a nurturing environment.
Test Tutors is an outgrowth of two highly successful school
programs: Chess Tutors and LearnStar. Test Tutors is a certified
Supplemental Services Provider in the state of California.
