Sarah Whitman
Scholastic Chess Program Director
Structured junior instruction and camp-based chess development
I design junior chess programs from classroom evidence: a Chicago after-school ladder, a Boston summer camp tactics block, and a Philadelphia beginner tournament cohort. My instruction links notation, pattern recognition, planning, and post-game review so parents and coaches can see measurable growth. I focus on practical habits that help young players compete confidently without rushing development.
