Since 2003 over 3000 children in their schools learnt how to play chess with me in their Elementary Schools .

Despite having 14 Irish Junior Chess Championship , 2 British , 1 Women Fide master and FM I am most proud of the other benefits that Chess gave to my students ! At the moment I am teaching chess in few DEIS schools – disadvantage areas, schools with kids from average or not wealthy families . We found out that kids that play chess are more likely to improve nearly in all subjects but most importantly to socialize with kids from other ( higher social class, wealthier background etc.) schools . Not only that kids are playing chess but as well they are accepted and respected in community as people with great skill .
