Flynn has been facilitating a homeschoolers chess club in Tempe for the past 4 years.His brand has become synonomous with creating a learning evironment where kids have fun,parents are involved,and his teaching produces results. 
Flynn says that "A recent study showed that children who played chess for 1 year:
-demonstrated 15% improvement in Math and Science
-twice improvement in Reading and Math
-increased standardized scores (11.2% Reading) (18.6% Math)".  
Events scheduled for the Grand Opening Wednesday, August 26 include FREE Pizza and the wildly anticipated simultaneous exhibition given by Flynn. Flynn will play up to 50 challengers at the same time!Prizes will be given to anyone that can survive up to 30 moves against Flynn.

"Meaghan has really enjoyed your class this year,and she is planning
on being in it next year.She started the year with some interest in
chess,and has ended up extremely well-versed in the game and in
complete possession of concepts her Dad and I don't understand!
Thank you for such a great learning opportunity for her.I know that
it will serve her in everything she does.Also,I didn't realize until
just a few weeks ago that Meaghan is the ONLY girl in your group!
I'm not surprised that she's not intimidated by that....she is
massively confident,as I am sure you noticed.But,you also made it a
safe and welcoming place for her,especially that time you helped her
with that difficulty she had with some of the boys.So, thanks for
that too.
I'm trying to encourage her brother to be part of chess next year
when he is in Kindergarten (can they join that young?) but he seems
to think he needs to do everything totally separate from his sister.
I'm working on him though....
See you next fall."
