HEAD INSTRUCTOR
Scotty Parillo Jr.
Scotty started out his chess journey when he was 10, when his mom taught him the rules of the game and how the pieces move.
It wasn't until a decade later when Scotty got back into playing the game through his favorite app on his phone, the chess app. It was through playing on the chess app, watching youtube videos, playing over the board, and entering a few tournaments that Scotty got good at the game.
It wasn't until 27 years old though when Scotty's understanding of the board reached new levels. This is when, through BeTa Community Programs, he began to teach chess at the Elementary Schools in the area.
Scotty did not just master the art of teaching the game, but he made the connections of the lessons the board has to teach you - to the lives that we all live.
Scotty has a little brother and sister that are his favorite people in the world, he does construction, likes to write, and loves being active. His most favorite pursuit in life, is Prometheus Gives, his non-profit that has the mission of developing impoverished regions of the world.
