“Thank you, Chess For Kids…”

CHESS FOR KIDS has really helped improve my daughter’s ability to focus, and improved her self-confidence!

Sylvia Matthews - Cali Parent

I wanted to let you know what an amazing job that your teacher who is working at Orchard View is doing. My children love him and his style of teaching!!!! They now will be attending your summer programs. Again, thanks for being awesome.

Mimi - Orchard View Parent

Thank you for such a wonderful program. It is amazing to see Adam, at age 7, strategize as he learns to play the game. What you are teaching goes beyond the game of chess, it impacts the way the kids learn.
Keep up the great work!

Connie Kane - Penngrove Elementary Parent

I just wanted you to know how pleased we are with David Hill and Chess for Kids. We were able to fill the class and the children had a great time. I saw many smiling faces, including students, parents and staff. You have been wonderful and we are all very grateful for your help getting things going.

Bill - Sonoma County Parent

We can not thank Chess For Kids and Richard enough! The kids in Richards class don’t get a boring lecture. It’s game on!
My grandson is so enjoying his chess. For every family event he brings his chess board in hopes of getting someone to play with him. He would play chess all day if he could.

Thank you for your program.

Cynthia - Parent of Cesar Chavez Language Academy

I cant even play with him any more because he beats me in 5 minutes. LOL.

Thank you very much for the class, and for the positive feedback on JP.

Nick - Sonoma County Parent

I can’t tell you how much your classes and school mean to us. Jack loves Chess, and you have taught him to be a genuinely great player. On top of that, teaching him to take direction, constructive criticism and that mistakes are ok. I honestly can’t thank you enough!”

Kindly,

Shannon - Sonoma County Parent
