Exactly what I needed!
The best coaches are the ones that love their work. Josh cares about his students and sincerely wants them to get better. He helped me see the board in ways that have already made me a stronger tactician in chess.

Excellent Math Teacher for SAT And ACT
Josh has been patient and thorough in helping me train for the SAT Math section. He helped me target the areas of the test that I needed to work on by preparing for the common types of questions on the test. Using his review PDF he pointed me to solutions, formulae, and patterns saving me time preparing by telling me the standard math techniques and SAT question types.

Excellent Chess Coach
I'm an adult improver and have been trying to gain some rating in online games. I was stuck around 1200 on chess.com and Josh really helped me out with my tactics and openings. I'm now over my plateau and gaining rating. He's very knowledgeable and I find his lessons quite fun and useful! I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking to improve their game
