Why is Chess part of our Math Programs?
Because this timeless game turns every move into a mini-lesson in thinking—and kids love it!
• Sharper focus & stronger memory
Planning several moves ahead trains students to concentrate deeply and remember patterns.
• A safe playground for creativity
Each match invites children to invent new strategies, boosting imagination right alongside logic.
• Organized, clear thinking
Deciding on the best move teaches kids to structure their thoughts—an essential skill for tackling tough math problems.
• Better learning across the board
The discipline and confidence gained at the chessboard carry over to the classroom, lifting overall academic performance.
In short, chess is more than a game—it’s a friendly mentor that builds the very skills our Math Club celebrates. Let’s make every pawn, knight, and queen move count!
Meet Your Instructor
An educator who merges mathematical precision with legal reasoning, he helps students develop sharp logical and strategic minds. Holding master’s degrees in both Mathematics and Law, he shows young players how to spot patterns, weigh evidence, and craft winning plans on and off the chessboard. Viewing chess as a training ground for critical thinking, focus, and decisive action, he tailors each lesson to a child’s style, explains positions through mathematical logic, and maintains a calm, encouraging classroom. Under his guidance, Telerom Math School teams have earned trophies in scholastic tournaments across Connecticut and Florida.
Teaching Philosophy
“Chess teaches us to think before we act,” he says. He weaves that principle into every chess and logic session, guiding learners to trace cause and effect, weigh options, and express ideas with clarity and confidence. The habits they build extend far beyond the 64 squares.
