Class Description
This class welcomes chess players of all levels, and teaches the wonders of the game through engaging and FUN methods. We firmly believe that it's not just about winning the game, but also overcoming the small challenges that come up along the path to victory. Masters have lost many games, and here, we teach students that losing is just a small part of winning. Everything that happens on the board presents a learning opportunity!

I have coached chess classes and individual students of all ages in NYC for over 8 years. I grew up in Chicago where I started competing in tournaments and eventually achieving the National Master title. After receiving my B.S. in Computer Science from Northwestern University, and my M.S. in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana, I moved to Geneva, Switzerland for 3 years. Shortly after returning to the US, I earned the FIDE Master title. I have a son and a daughter in high school who compete in chess tournaments. Both have made the US top 100 ratings lists for their age group.
Instructor's reviews
My daughter actually switched to the other section of this class... 3rd-5th Grade, so I don't want to give this teacher a bad review but she had started in this section (K-2), so that's the review I was sent.
Overall, I found this class to be very disappointing. It was listed as a class taught by a Disney Princess and the class ended up having 3 different teachers during the course. This was confusing for the students and didn't offer any cohesiveness. The teachers couldn't even remember the kids names. At the end of the semester, very few songs or dances were actually taught and the kids mostly played games during the hours of the class. The class isn't inexpensive, so for this, I wouldn't gone somewhere else to give my daughter a better experience and have her learn something.

Harry Potter Camp was so much fun! My girls loved making wands and creating potions...and thinking of mischievous ways to stir trouble at Hogwarts! The creative programming was wonderful for this outdoor day camp and kept my girls busy and having a great time. Their only request was that the day lasted longer! They came home and continued creating ideas to keep the magic going. Thank you!

I feel that this course is not tailored for K-1 grade. K-1 graders need more moving around, especially after a long day at school, then was made possible by the instructor.
