10 Years of Chess with Coach Jeff!

Over the last ten years, Coach Jeff has taught thousands of kids chess with us all over Frederick.  He draws his students in with enthusiasm and humor.

Jeff always goes above and beyond to make sure students have fun in his clubs.  Once, in a post club email, he wrote (and told students?) a spooky Halloween story incorporating all of them… and it wasn’t even October!  It was just an extra fun way to get a club started and draw his students in.

One member of our office staff applied to and joined the company in large part because she remembered her daughters’ fantastic experience with Coach Jeff.
