CHESS STORY
Let me tell you a little bit about my chess story, how I got into the game and what I've achieved!
It all started, when I was 6. I asked my dad to teach me how to play chess.
Everyone in my class knew how to play, except me.
I really liked the game and started learning more and more to improve my level, and it wasn't long until I got my first results.
I became the Champion of Mallorca Under the age of 8! And that's how my journey in chess began.

BUSINESS STORY
I started earning money when I was 13 by teaching children how to play chess.
One day my mom was talking to one of her friends about my chess achievements and she was like: "It would be cool if my son would play chess too"
In the afternoon my mom came to me and proposed me to start teaching a group of children to get some pocket money. At first it was just like a hobby and I wasn't taking it seriously.
But then came a point when I decided to make an actual chess school out of it, I started going around looking for new students, and recently started a chess club at my school.

F.A.Q
Can small children focus online?
Yes, that is not a problem whatsoever. I have a huge experience working with children and know how to get their attention and make the lessons super fun. We take breaks, speak, and play mini-games related to chess that improve the child's logic and critical thinking.
Though it is true that depending on the age, sometimes the child finds it very hard to focus, but for that there is a simple solution too. We can simply make the lessons 30-minutes long, so the child doesn't lose interest.

Is chess for nerds and old people?
ABSOLUTELY NO! That's what chess used to be 30 years ago, children thought that the game was meant for adults, and it wasn't that popular in between them.
THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED. Chess has become one of the most famous sports/games in the whole world, and is now seen as a great method of making friends, getting smarter, more patient, etc.

How often are the chess lesson?
If possible, I recommend to have at least 2 lessons a week to see significant and very fast progress. This will all be talked through and planned with the parents, considering school, family activities, clubs and other stuff.
