About Mark


Bio

I'm knowledgeable and patient. I believe it is important to build on the student's confidence as well as their skills, because panic hurts performance almost as bad as being unprepared.

I have a Masters and a degree in Economics from Southern Illinois University. I am a professional economist with a heavy background in math and statistics. I've been active in this discipline for over 30 years in a wide variety of industries. I was also in the Air Force.

I have been playing chess competitively since the mid-70's, am a certified Local Tournament Director, and have run chess clubs in many different locations. My current chess rating puts me in the top 5% of competitive players in Texas and the top 10% nationally.

Mr. Mark is super patient!

My son is very excited about playing chess, but at the same time, he is having a hard time maintaining his focus through the class as he is only 5. Mr. Mark is super patient and really tries to find games that are suited to his level and understanding but also introduce ches’ fundamentals. Mr. Mark is also very experienced in working with young kids and embark their interest and help them grow. Overall, great experience!! Thank you Mr. Mark

Excellent

My 6 year old grandson enjoyed his first lesson with Mark! He did an outstanding job communicating with him. He made learning in the game fun. He enjoyed it so much instead of waiting a week for his next lesson we scheduled his next one just a couple of days later. I would highly recommend Mark he is very knowledgeable of the game and communicates very well even with a six year old boy. Thanks Mark!

Knowledgeable, patient and great with my grandson

Very patient, so my grandson was not frightened but rather stimulated to want to keep taking lessons. Started out with very basics and taught at the right speed for my grandson to absorb and retain.
