Chess Tutoring for Casual and Tournament Players
My name is Austin E. I graduated from Roosevelt University in Chicago with a double major in Philosophy and Political Science. I am now a part-time chess teacher with students of all ages and skill levels.
My coaching experience began as an unofficial coach for the Bradley-Bourbonnais Community High School chess team. In the few years I coached there I helped them achieve 3 top 25 finishes in Illinois as well as a 13-0 conference record in the SWSC.
I began taking chess seriously in 2007...

Interactive and Insightful Session
I learned how to open with pawns, how to defend against knights, how to evaluate the value of different pieces, how to sequence moves. Very helpful. I also received helpful tips for homework and a plan for the next lesson.

Skilled and goal driven
Austin knows his stuff. And knows my goals. Like the strategy he proposed of getting into games and seeing where I started going astray. Will be using him regularly.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.
Austin is a great chess tutor. He really engages in active learning (i.e., he doesn't just lecture to you) with his students in a way that accelerates the learning curve. Five stars -- would highly recommend.

California loves Austin!
Austin is helping my 9 year old love the game of chess! In addition to being a tutor Austin is a positive influence that my son gets to download lots of info from, get constructive feedback on performance, be challenged by and grow.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.
Austin provides detailed and in-depth chess instruction. So says my child who takes his chess lessons. He has learned quite a bit by all the additional resources Austin has shared as well. We are happy with Austin!

chess coach
Austin did a great job with my boys and was able to assess where they are fairly quickly and build on their skills. I would highly recommend him to others looking for a chess coach.
