For Schools & PTA/PTOs
I'll help you start a before or after school chess program, with all materials provided, at no cost or setup burden on your staff.
Whether your PTA/PTO is looking to add an enrichment option or your school just wants something proven to help kids focus, a chess club is one of the easiest programs to set up. I bring the curriculum, the boards, and the coaching experience. Your school provides the room and the interested kids.
Scheduled around your school day
No cost or setup burden on your staff
Instruction matched to each student's level, any grade K through 8
Even where my schedule can't fit teaching
A randomized study of 482 elementary students found chess instruction raised math scores by up to 0.18 SD, about a third of a year's normal progress.

The same study found the largest gains among students who started out least engaged in school, and chess reengages reluctant learners.
