Imagine where we would be as a country if the next generation had sound problem solving skills!
Make a Smart Move!
Your Chess Coach is devoted to teaching chess to children of all ages. Although we are able to turn children into strong tournament players, if that is their goal, we are more interested in having them learn the many life skills that chess teaches. Studies around the world have shown that a child's educational experience is enhanced by adding chess to their curriculum.
Bottom line: chess lessons make kids smarter! A few of the skills learned through chess are:
~ Self confidence
~ Tactical and logical thinking
~ Long term planning and follow through
~ Patience
~ Memorization
~ Imagination
~ Independent thinking
~ Self motivation
~ Spatial relations
~ Pattern recognition
~ Visualization of goals and achieving them
~ Selecting importance levels when making decisions
~ Focus
~ Problem solving
~ Outside the box thinking
We work with children of any age and can teach privately or in groups (usually through your child's school). Chess instruction is also available online. Just contact us to set up a time to start!
