What you think, you will be! If you practice  and enjoy it enough!
Chess is Art, Science, Geometry, Math and more than you think!
I am a professional accountant with MBA but as a chess professional, I have more than 20 years experiences in top level of chess that gave me a good confidence for winning many trophies. 
After completing the master class through the online course with Garry Kasparov the world chess champion, I started to teach the young ages in 64 Square Chess School in Edmonton, AB, Canada and already working with more than 30 students as a coach and chess instructor in Citadel Middle School, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
The class that I handle includes the three main important subjects of chess( opening, middle game and end game) for beginners to advanced learners. 
It covers the chess strategy and tactics through the main source of chess.com and lichess.org with some more specific curriculums and will be organized as private or group class.
We try to have a fun and passionate environment in our class and focus on improvement in any level.
The values that I believe at chess comes from the nature of chess that is more than a brain game or sport. I focus on the nature of chess to help my students improve their IQ and soft skills like, problem solving, deep thinking, strategic thinking, time management and concentration skills that help them in their real life and for the math improvement in their schools.
To share my interests, the main is chess and for more, I do swimming, kayaking, travelling with family and sometimes reading books in quiet.  
For me, life intimate chess and I try to help my students believe it! When you believe, you have fun and improve.
