Novice and Intermediate Chess Coach

I learned chess when I was a kid, but never took it seriously until I was an adult player.  I've played in tournaments and online.  I was a chess coach in public and private schools through an organization called Progress with Chess.  Since then, I've served as a certified coach at two libraries and as an independent instructor through my company Jack of Trades.  I've defeated both Masters and Experts during casual play.  I'm technology savvy and understand the use of demonstration boards, analysis programs, and structured learning.  Lastly, I'm a professional teacher and coach recognized by society as being more than competent at both.
