Does anyone else teach piano?
How long and whats your specialty?

I've been teaching for 9 years.
I prefer to teach classical. But any student who is interested in chords generally becomes very good under my instruction. I can teach beginner jazz as well.

I don't have any websites that I can recomend (try googling piano chords).

There are many different types of chords but the three basic types of chords used in most church songs are major, minor, and suspended.
When you see the chords for major they are mostly shown as a capitol letter like so "A, Eb, G#."
Minor is shown by a lower case letter and general an m. Like so "gm, dbm, c#m."
Suspended chords will have sus after the letter. Like so "Asus, Gbsus, D#sus."

Instead of me writing down the notes in all the chords here's a way for you to figure it out on your own.
For C major you play C, E, and G. Note the distance between each note and the sound. Major chords have a bright and happy sound to them.

For C Minor the notes are C, Eb, and G. Again note distance and sound. Minor sound is much darker.

For C suspended the notes you play are C, F, and G. Again note distance and sound.

I hope thats helpful.
later
