6/30/2014 Rachel is an awesome chess tutor for our 6-year-old son. She is not only knowledgeable in all matters of chess, but she is patient and funny and makes chess a fun and pleasurable game, which is what it should be for a child. We are looking forward to more lessons with Rachel and to her helping us have our son tournament-ready by this fall!

I wasn't sure where to turn when my little one requested chess lessons. I don't play chess and he is really young. Keith was wonderful every step of the way, both teaching my son patiently and helping me assist my son in learning beyond the tutoring sessions. He recommended books and groups so he could continue to improve. I was truly impressed with the professionalism and thoughtfulness of this tutor.
Mark T.

28 Chess lessons

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. He's lived a very interesting life and provided some nugget of wisdom that I could take away with me every week. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Glenn to anyone looking for a tutor for chess or anything else.
