Learning to play chess develops valuable thinking skills such as calculation, visualization, creative problem solving, and it can improve focus and concentration. Chess can be an effective tool for training young people in sportsmanship, emotional control, and connecting the decisions they make with the inevitable consequences.
One-on-one lessons are beneficial for students aged 7 and up, for those just interested in having fun as well as for those who wish to pursue competitive play. I LOVE chess and I LOVE passing along my passion of the game to others!


“Mr. Porter not only taught me the skills I needed to succeed as a chess player, but he also increased my confidence and my desire to improve. He tailored each lesson to my personal strengths and weaknesses. I improved immensely under his instruction, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking to further their knowledge of the Royal Game!“
