  • Beatrice Proverbs
    Chess builds patience, critical thinking, and concentration — which are increasingly valuable in a world of instant answers (internet/AI).
  • Daniel Knowles
    Chess teaches kids to solve problems through skill rather than luck.
  • Arush Singh
    I focus on making sure they understand the reasoning behind moves, not just what to play.
  • Constantino Co
    Winning is an achievement, but nurturing humility and sportsmanship helps children become better individuals and build essential life skills.
  • Mel Morris-Jenkins
    I focus on creating a positive environment where students feel confident to learn, make mistakes, and keep progressing.
  • Oscar Westra
    Teaching children chess helps develop problem-solving skills not only in the game, but also outside of it.
  • Chris Wang
    Teaching chess allows me to encourage critical thinking and a love of learning in a fun environment.
  • Himanshu Mandawaria
    A ‘never resign’ attitude keeps you in the game longer, and sometimes you can turn the situation around without losing.
  • Cullen Milne
    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.”
