Fantastic chess tutor - really helped me up my game

I'm learning a ton from Nicholas. I'm played as a child but wanted to get back into the game as an adult. Nicholas has helped me understand how to systematically improve. He comes prepared to each lesson with a topic based on what he sees I'm struggling with - whether it's end game king movements, specific openings, mid-game concepts or even tools to use. Time with Nicholas is well spent and I highly recommend him!

Patient and knowledgeable tutor

Very patient with my 6 year old. I loved is calm demeanor and encouraging voice. I would recommend this tutor for a beginner child. This is all I have to say about this tutor so far but the app is making me write an extensive 160 word review.
