Welcome!

I’m excited to share my passion for chess with you. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced player looking to sharpen your skills, you’ve come to the right place. Chess has been a major part of my life for many years as both a competitive player and a dedicated coach.

I’ve taught over 1,500 hours of lessons on Wyzant and received nearly 700 five-star reviews. My experience includes one-on-one coaching (in person and online) as well as group instruction. In tournament play, I’ve earned a Class A title with a peak rating of 1893. After a brief break from competitive chess following the birth of my son, I returned to the tournament scene last year with strong results.

While chess is often seen as a complex game, my goal is to make learning both accessible and enjoyable. Through clear instruction, interactive lessons, and personalized guidance, I help students build confidence, develop strategic thinking, and genuinely enjoy the process of improvement. With the right support and mindset, anyone can grow into a skilled and formidable player.

Patient, fun and highly recommend

My 7 years old son started weekly lessons with Mr Ezekiel H three weeks ago and the progress has exceeded our expectations. Each lesson is a mix of demonstration, interactive exercises, and game analysis, and after every session, always gave easy-to-follow summary outlining what we covered, specific mistakes to fix, suggested exercises, and clear goals for the next lesson. Those post-lesson reports have been invaluable for focused practice and tracking progress. Communicative, patient, and professional — we highly recommend Ezekiel H to any family serious about improving their child’s chess.

Thank you so much, Doris, for your kind words! It has been such a joy working with your son these past few weeks. He brings great energy and curiosity to every lesson, which makes teaching him a real pleasure. I’m glad to hear that the lesson notes and practice suggestions have been helpful at home. I’m excited to keep building on his progress and look forward to seeing his confidence and skills continue to grow!

A Fantastic Chess Coach for Kids!

Ezekiel has been an incredible chess teacher for my 10-year-old son. From the very first lesson, he struck the perfect balance between professionalism and approachability. He’s extremely knowledgeable, patient, and has a wonderful way of explaining complex concepts in a way that’s fun and easy to understand. Ezekiel is friendly, encouraging, and brings just the right touch of humor to keep lessons engaging and enjoyable. My son looks forward to every session. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch chess coach!

Really Excellent Chess Teacher!

My 11 y.o. son is on his 7th chess lesson with Coach Ezekiel. He was hoping to take his chess game to the next level. Ezekiel is definitely getting him there! He's extremely knowledgeable & makes the lessons very interactive & fun. Our son definitely looks forward to his weekly lessons. If you're considering chess lessons, Coach Ezekiel would be a great choice!

Wonderful experience

Ezekiel is an exceptional good teacher who understands student’s weak area and takes action accordingly. My son is very happy with the style of teaching. Although my son has spent only 4-5 sessions, I can see my son is more vocal to explain pain areas. I would highly suggest Ezekiel as teacher for every student

Chess class

Taught very well. I learned a lot of different strategies and tactics to focus on. Also gave me tips to practice outside of class.

Middle Game Defense

Zeke was great as always. We spent time going over previous games I have played and going over middle game tactics.
