“Chess is the gymnasium of the mind.” – Blaise Pascal ==================== About the Class ==================== ♟️ Chess is a fun game that is easy to learn but can take a lifetime to master. It teaches critical thinking, logic, problem-solving, patience, and mindfulness. This class is meant for novice to intermediate players who know piece movement, piece value, and have played a handful of games. In this 1-week camp, we will have 5 classes where we will learn basic to advance chess strategy and tactics which will help to win more chess games and achieve a greater understanding of the game. I will emphasize the importance of sportsmanship and having the right mindset to keep improving at chess beyond this class, which are lessons can be applied to many other aspects of life. Course Outline: Class 1: Openings Class 2: Pins and Forks Class 3: Skewers and Discovered Attacks Class 4: Capture the Defender, Double Attacks Class 5: Endgame Classes will be a combination of theory, puzzles, and live games to practice what we are learning. The class size is kept small in order to give each student ample attention and to keep the class focused. ==================== About the Teacher ==================== I fell in love with the game of chess when my dad first taught me to play when I was 7 years old. To this day, it is a precious pass-time that we share. I went on to become the regional elementary champion and participated in the Canadian University Chess Championship as part of the University of Toronto team. I currently hold a rating of about 1900 and would love to share my passion for chess with anyone willing to learn. I encourage a growth mindset in all my classes, to take every win and loss as a learning experience. ==================== Other Classes by Coach Lem ==================== After the course, the most important thing for learners will be to play as many games as they can and learn from each experience. Towards that goal, I have created an online chess club called 'The Outschool Gambit', where novice and intermediate players get to play together in weekly live games. Graduates of this course will get the first week for free! This course is perfect for spring break, winter break, and summer vacation learning.

What do you enjoy? What makes you come alive?
Each person is unique in their interests and passions and one of the joys of life is discovering and exploring them.
I have and Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto in Environmental Physics, and was an Environmental Consultant for 3 years before I discovered my love for teaching and mentoring. From 2015-2017, I traveled around Asia, volunteering as a teacher in rural communities where I taught English, Math, Science and Dance to children ranging from 4-16 years of age. I have been an online teacher to children for 5 years, using gamification to keep learners interested and engaged throughout each lesson.
My interests and expertise are in mindfulness, meditation, music, dance, gaming, and travel. I would be honored to share my passions, fascinations, and knowledge with your children in a fun, creative, and exciting way that will ignite a fire in them as well.
Did I mention I like gaming? Play is an integral part of the human experience and enhances cognitive, social, and mental well-being. Games teach teamwork, sportsmanship, critical thinking, and leadership. I started a company called Good Games where we create a positive space for young gamers to play, learn, grow, and have fun.
