Carey M.
Her instructor Ty was kind and patient and taught her such a lot in such a short time. He also motivated her to self learn on her own time.

Ty was patient, his instructions were clear, he covered everything I wanted to cover, and he answered all of my questions. Excited for the next meeting.

He put fun into the lessons. He taught well and efficiently. He was very encouraging. My son said he was an 11 out of 10.
Focus. Planning. Fun.
Chess isn't just a game — it's a workout for your child's brain.
Regular chess practice helps kids build laser-sharp focus, think multiple steps ahead, and develop the patience to slow down and plan.
For children with ADHD, chess offers a uniquely engaging structure that channels energy into strategy — helping them practice impulse control and sustained attention in a way that feels like play, not therapy.
I meet every student where they are and guide them toward becoming confident, disciplined thinkers — on and off the board.
