Letter of Recommendation for Chris Torres
For the past 2 years Chris Torres has worked with Vineland School District on building its chess program. He has worked both as an instructor for all
5th grade students (4 classrooms) and as an after school coach. I say without hesitation that
he did an excellent job.
I found Chris Torres to be an excellent instructor with solid classroom management skills. He taught the students very well thought out chess lessons. He was punctual and very conscientious about his duty. He has a passion for chess which rubbed off on the students. But most of all he had good rapport with the students. The students liked going to chess. They felt good about themselves when they played it.
Overall, I believe you would be very fortunate to have Chris Torres as a chess instructor.
Sincerely,
Adolph Wirth
District Superintendent
