I have played chess for approximately 35 years.
I have run many chess tournaments and clubs over the years.

I am a homeschool mother of multiple children. 
We have always homeschooled and participated in distance education. 
We came to Outschool in 2018 as learners, and now I am excited to also teach on this platform. 
I understand the needs of parents of learners here as I am one myself. 
My own child/children will be regularly participating in this chess club.

I have degrees, post-graduate, and professional qualifications in the following - only those relevant to this class are listed here, for a complete list please visit my teacher profile page:
