Knowledgeable, friendly...exactly what I needed
Griffin is obviously very knowledgeable, and has set me up with a good program to learn opens and defenses. Can't wait for our next meeting where we will go over all the questions I know I will have, and also see how I do!

Patient and Accommodating
I like Griffin's flexibility in how the session is structured in order to fit my learning needs. Whether it is going through the analysis of a previous game I played with a friend to see where my errors occurred, walking through various strategies/tactics, or playing a live game and commentating on what I did well vs areas of improvement, Griffin adapts the session to fit my current questions.

Griffin is a very good detailed instructor, who will play and point out mistakes and reasons for alternate moves. He’s great and I look forward to more lessons.

Great tutor
Griffin reviewed mid game minor piece positioning and showed us a number of king pawn endgames. Griffin is a very knowledgeable chess tutor and I highly recommend him.

Great chess teacher
My 7 years old son loves to learn chess tactics with Griffin, Griffin is really patient, listens attentively to all the questions and explains really patiently. He gives assignments and videos to improve his understanding between lessons.

It was a great 1st lesson!
My 7 year old liked the class and he understood the concepts reviewed during the lessons. My son was a little bit distracted after 30 minutes but he would like to continue with his lessons (perhaps 30 to 40 minutes only).

Griff really likes Dubov
Griffin is a great tutor! He takes a more realistic approach to teaching tactics and theory. In stead of being pessimistic, look for a way to improve your position! The way Daniil Dubov would. I will keep taking the lessons from Griff!
Chris, 3 lessons with Griffin
Very thoughtful and knowledgeable!
He analyzed my skills in chess and taught me how different movements and strategies could improve my matches. He also has a thorough understanding of theories and I highly recommend him as a great tutor if you are very interested in or passionate about chess!
