Really showed their knowledge
They did a great job showing what they know and how they take their personal experience into how they improve their chess. What I’ve learned is to learn one thing from each of my games and not to be afraid to try new ideas you saw from a game. Overall, I am excited moving forward.

Excellent tutor!
Because I know very, very little about chess, Alec started at the beginning. He explained the principles of the game and then we worked on opening moves. He had a great deal of patience with me and answered all of my questions. I really like his approach.

great chess coach
Alec is very sharp coach! He can go through my son’s tournament notations very quickly and showed him the strategies. My son told me that he learns a lot from Alec. I will let them work together, I want to see my son feels confident and fulfill his goal.

Great instructor!
Alec is very knowledgeable. I definitely suggest him to those who want to get effectively better at playing chess. I am constantly taking classes with him and every time he teaches me new awesome strategies. He makes chess fun and easy to play. I actually started liking chess thanks to Alec (I used to find it boring)
