Kip was very cooperative and a pleasure to teach. He tends to act impulsively, so we worked on slowing down with strategic thinking using chess as a tool to build this skill.

Lesson Comments
Dutch is generally resistant to paying attention to work related concepts and just wants to play on his phone. I have a good rapport with him now so going forward it should not be a problem getting him to put the phone away.

Lesson Comments
Mercer was fairly quiet and appeared to be a bit depressed. His responses to all of my questions lacked any intensity or enthusiasm. That said, he was extremely polite and well behaved. I worked on establishing a rapport with him to facilitate successful future sessions. His email and access to Office 365 apparently was not yet set up so we just discussed doing it in the next class.
