8/9/2014 Our son won a game in his very first chess tournament today, and he won it with the 4-move checkmate taught to him by Rachel! We are very proud of him, and so grateful to Rachel for her tutelage. We have high hopes for our son's continued improvement. Under Rachel's guidance, he is learning the art of great chess. 10/8/14 Rachel has been tutoring my teenage daughter in chess.

I met with Glenn every week for 10 months to learn how to play chess. I came to our first meeting not even knowing how to set the board up properly, but was working on my preferred opening strategy within a few weeks. Glenn always had a very good idea of what we'd go over each meeting and that structure was truly appreciated on my end. We never got stuck on one aspect of the game for too long and I really enjoyed all the different ways I was learning.
