-
Chess builds patience, critical thinking, and concentration — which are increasingly valuable in a world of instant answers (internet/AI). -
Chess teaches kids to solve problems through skill rather than luck. -
I focus on making sure they understand the reasoning behind moves, not just what to play. -
Winning is an achievement, but nurturing humility and sportsmanship helps children become better individuals and build essential life skills. -
I focus on creating a positive environment where students feel confident to learn, make mistakes, and keep progressing. -
Teaching children chess helps develop problem-solving skills not only in the game, but also outside of it. -
Teaching chess allows me to encourage critical thinking and a love of learning in a fun environment. -
A ‘never resign’ attitude keeps you in the game longer, and sometimes you can turn the situation around without losing. -
Chess is rarely repetitive. Every game becomes different after only a few moves. This makes it challenging, with always more to learn and remember. You can never be perfect at chess.”
