Instructor Bio:
My name is Aaron and I am here to offer your child a master-level chess education. As a professional educator, I have taught in every capacity and have developed my skills as an educator to facilitate rapid academic improvement in all of my students. I bring myself and my background into my teaching experience, I teach from a historical context. Chess is a lot of history, from the players, their contributions to theory, and the moves they made, it all makes sense from a historical context. From this perspective, I believe I have found the most effective teaching strategy for aspiring chess players. Your child will thrive under my tutelage. What I want is for your child to learn the art and craft of chess which will develop their learning, memory, reasoning and logic, and long-term planning skills. This can only help develop their other academic pursuits and success. Chess is a cognitive sport. I play sports and treat chess no differently. I will teach your child to appreciate chess in this way too. The competitive nature of the game will help stimulate their motivation in all other aspects of their academics too.
Education:
B.A. in History and B.A. in Anthropology
