I fell in love with Chess when I was 19. Ever since then I have been hooked. Someone once told me that if you have knowledge, it is your civic duty to share that knowledge with our children to serve the next generation. So that's what I do! -
Chess is a game of endless possibilities that does not need a language. If you come to a new city or country a Chess Club will always be a welcoming place, even if you know nobody there. -
Coaching helps me understand and organise what I know in a clear way as I explain important concepts in chess to children. It gives me a way to share my enjoyment and understanding of chess. -
I think Chess helps kids to achieve a longer concentration span, and this counteracts the effect of technology (which reduces attention spans). The ability to concentrate and think clearly is important in educational achievement in any discipline. -
I really like how kids enjoy themselves when they beat me in chess games. I use this opportunity to teach them to understand the game of life using the game of chess. -
I’ve had success in many regional and National Chess Power tournaments. I was the school chess champion at Mt Roskill Grammar. -
Based in the Phillipines, International Master Paulo Bersamina is one of our most powerful chess coaches. -
It is important to consider the student's strengths, weaknesses, opinions, and perceptions in order to gauge a starting point for moving forward. -
Chess helps kids develop critical thinking skills and improve their ability to make decisions. It also helps them develop problem-solving abilities. -
My key strengths include my ability to create a fun, engaging environment for kids to develop their skills, patience, and understanding to help the students feel supported. I believe my strengths create a positive atmosphere where they feel supported and excited to learn. -
I believe that forming a connection with the students is an important part of being a good coach. With my previous experience in holiday programs, I pride myself in being able to form bonds with the students and making everyone feel involved. This is a key trait that I believe makes me a good coach. -
Organized with a positive attitude towards my students and knowing how to connect with them, I have certificates of National Instructor in chess and Arena International Master. -
Not all students are at the same level. A coach should be able to recognize this and also incorporate an element of fun especially at the beginner level. -
Chess is fun! It is also perfect for brain exercising and connecting with others. It is a cure for stress and anxiety sometimes as well. -
Chess is the great equalizer. Your age, background, and experiences don’t matter on the board, all that’s important is your strength and determination. -
I love chess because it provides an oasis from the chaos of everyday life. When playing, my entire world is reduced to an 8x8 board, 64 squares, my pieces, and endless possibilities. -
Chess is a beautiful game that combines strategy, logic, and creativity. I love how it challenges me to think ahead, analyze different possibilities, and make the best move based on the current situation. -
I have lots of patience and am a very friendly person, I am really good at connecting with people on a personal level and will go out of my way to make sure someone is comfortable. -
I can prepare great, and engaging materials while providing a simple learning structure so that students can have an easy time understanding. -
Kids are so interesting to work with. They are very open and have a pure mindset and they are the best group absorb new things quite fast. -
Chess is my favourite hobby when I feel bored, happy or excited. It helps me to release stress that i have build up from studying to use it to make strategies and tactics to defeat my opponent.
