Teaching Chess at Public School 78

Every elementary school student I taught chess is special to me. While teaching at Public School 78 I hit a special milestone. I reached 500 elementary students in a school setting.

I attended their graduation and they broke my heart by surprising me with a cardboard poster with cards. They communicated how grateful they were for the work I did with them. I helped them control their behavior and increase their focus.

Some students even said they wanted to be a chess instructor!

This gentlemen and the kids that he mentor are awesome. I brought my two daughters and son to the library to learn chess. His professionalism, patience and passion to teach is amazing. My children was happy and interested at the end of te day. It was like a chess boot camp!
