Mike is a great chess tutor. He is teaching all our our sons and they are truly engaged. I see they are more interested in the game of chess and look forward to each session as it is scheduled.
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.

Eladio exceeded our expectations for our Chess Lessons. He is a Certified Chess Coach, which helps our children receive very well thought out and complete strategies for the game of Chess. I highly recommend him.
