The first elementary school I ever taught chess at in 2018. It was a struggle for me at the beginning, but worth it. I always said, “without struggle there is no progress”. I taught 4th & 5th graders during the school day. I also taught 1st, 2nd, & 3rd graders during lunch period to keep them on point too.
This was like a chess bootcamp. My grandson missed the first Saturday – April 15, but we made up for the next 5 Saturdays thereafter. He knew a little about the game but got a better understanding of how to focus and concentrate. His spatial awareness in the game improved a whole lot. Mr. Romeo’s passion for the game is transferred to his students and cause them to be more confident and solution oriented.
Romeo is setting an example for our kids and the community.
Romeo empowers the kids to think and desire to learn.
So glad to have Romeo in our community.
