About Me
I have more than 35 years experience working in the community and I’ve been passionate about junior chess for some time, so in March 2006 I started the Greenwich Chess Group after my research highlighted the low levels of chess activity in Greenwich schools.

I provide chess tuition for children in who live in South East and North West London (please get in touch for more information and/or to discuss starting a chess club in your local area.)
There’s a lot of evidence that shows how children who learn and play chess perform better in school, have improved calculating ability, are more imaginative, creative, and self-motivated.
Chess challenges the minds of both girls & boys and it’s a fun game that all children can play. Click here to continue reading
