I had an awesome time learning from Glenn. I told him at the beginning it's a game that I have always wanted to get better at but I have a basic understanding of the rules. Glenn knew exactly where to start and we covered quite a bit in the two hour session. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their Chess skills.

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.
