Before moving to Apex, I taught chess to hundreds of children (grades 2-8) in Brunswick County schools from 2014-2025.  As each year progressed, I refined my approach and techniques to incorporate life lessons, introduce critical thinking, and develop leadership skills. I use chess as a conduit through which your child will develop a logical approach to life, grounded in observation, analysis, and logic.

If you would like for your child to learn the basics of chess (including algebraic notation) and feel there is value in this approach, please consider enrolling in the link provided below.

All classes will be limited to only ten students. Parents are welcome - and encouraged - to attend and learn chess as I have had many parents tell me that sitting across a chess board from their child encourages conversation and a bonding experience.
