History

Established in 2014.

Although the business officially started in 2014, I have been teaching Group and Private lessons since 2004 on a part-​time basis. Now, I am very grateful to say it is my full time work. I love teaching Chess while at the same time building relationships with my students. This is my life’s passion and there is nothing I would rather be doing!

Meet the Business Owner

I first learned the game of chess at 12 years old. I had 2 different teachers that had a huge impact on me. The first one made the game challenging for me. He really pushed me to be the BEST I could be. My 2^nd teacher knew less about the game… but showed me how much fun it could be. My goal is to combine those two styles, helping kids to grow in their love for the game, be the best they can be at it, and at the same time have a lot of fun. I hope that I am able to do this [teaching chess] my whole life. It is thrillling to me to watch my students progress and mature into young adults.
