Chess Tutor!

Hi everyone!

My name is Allen Zeng, third year premed undergraduate at UCD, and I want to teach your kid how to play chess like a pro! I have played since third grade, and have since competed at both the high school and college levels. I have also held officer positions in the past in chess clubs and will be vice president of the on-campus club this year. I have also tutored before, and am absolutely great with young kids.

I am tutoring for students elementary through middle school. No prior chess experience is needed! My rate is $10/hour, but if your child can beat me the lesson is FREE.

Lessons can be held at my place in West Davis, or I can come to your house to teach if that is preferred. I am available mostly on weekends.

If you’re interested or have further questions, please feel free to contact me by phone at 408-306-8980, or through email at atzeng@ucdavis.edu

Thanks!

Kayaking Trip down Cache Creek

camilla — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 20:50:00 +0000

I have five sit-on-top kayaks which I can offer for a guided trip down Cache Creek. One section is very calm with ripples, and another stretch I’m offering has a few more rushy (not dangerous, just more thrills) rapids. Both of these trips are just below the area used for rafting Cache Creek. If you want to be guided, only 4 of the kayaks are available (since I’ll be in one). I have two life jackets available, which would fit a small to medium size adult.

On our last trip, we saw osprey (with fish in talons), great blue herons, swallows nesting, turtles, fish, and lots of peace and quiet. This trip is dependent on water flow and my availability. Allow an afternoon.

Kayaks to use

I have five sit-on top kayaks with paddles (duh!). You can “rent” one or all of these for an outing. These are self-bailing kayaks, which means they are impossible to sink and you don’t need to know how to do a flip-over. The kayaks are stored at our home in the Capay valley, so would be ideal for a trip on Cache Creek, Solano Lake Park, or Clear Lake, further up the road. I have two life jackets, suitable for a small to medium adult. If you need more life jackets, you would need to arrange them yourself. I also have a separate post for a guided kayak trip.
