I Don’t Care... High-Efficiency Math Tutor Since 2003

I love teaching chess to new players. By only introducing one piece at a time, newcomers to the game are never overwhelmed by the complexity of the game. Usually we start with a "pawn battle" and add an additional piece each game.

Jonathan S.

1 Chess lesson

Brian taught me about en passant, mating the opponent's king with just a queen and a king. He also taught me about king-side and queen-side castling We also reviewed beginning game moves and talked about strategy. He was also kind enough to write down for me resources where I could learn more about chess and practice my game. During my meeting with Brian, I felt like he did all he could to help me improve.
Thomas N.

1 Chess lesson

Cau was extremely helpful and very knowledgable about chess. He demonstrated the main points of the lesson very clearly in an example game and then went over them in an analysis of one of my own games which was immensely valuable. He was very patient and allowed me to ask questions at any point which he would answer very thoroughly before resuming. He was very good at having clear topics for the lesson so I could have key ideas to study.
Caterina S.

6 Chess lessons

John has recently started tutoring our 7 year old daughter in chess and she is enjoying her lessons and picking up skills quickly. I was impressed with his background when looking for a tutor and like John's approach with children. He is very patient and encourages them to think things through and come up with the right moves. We are looking forward to her competing in tournaments this fall and believe she will be greatly helped by his teaching.
