Mark T.

28 Chess lessons

We never got stuck on one aspect of the game for too long and I really enjoyed all the different ways I was learning. Always felt like I was learning from a true educator. Chess is a game that always intrigued me and now I feel confident in playing a game that had always been a mystery to me. On top of learning chess, I looked forward to seeing Glenn on a personal level.

9 Chess lessons

Christie has been working with my five-year-old daughter, teaching her some basics on chess. She's been giving her a strong foundation while having fun together, and my daughter really looks forward to the lessons. My daughter would never sit with me for an hour to learn about chess, but happily does it with Christie. She frequently counts the number of points she has when playing with me now!

Austin did a great job with my boys and was able to assess where they are fairly quickly and build on their skills. I would highly recommend him to others looking for a chess coach.
