Great Teacher!

Mike is a great chess tutor. He is teaching all our our sons and they are truly engaged. I see they are more interested in the game of chess and look forward to each session as it is scheduled.

My pleasure, Barbara

Very knowledgeable and good sense of humor.

Mike is a very patient and experienced chess player. He helped me understand the basics but also started teaching me more advanced tactics of chess. I highly recommend Mike for beginners or more experienced players looking to take their game to the next level.

Patient, fun and Encouraging

I am so grateful to Mike for teaching my daughter to like chess! He is making the lessons fun, but also he is teaching her to like the chess. She started reading the books we had left after my husband without me prompting her. She have never played chess before, I couldn't with for a better chess tutor for her beginning journey into chess.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor - gifted at teaching chess

Mike clearly has a gift for teaching chess. Just after a few lessons my son is already describing how he is picking up patterns during games and feels he is seeing part of the game he didn't understand before. I couldn't be happier! Thanks, Mike!!

Excellent introduction to the game of Chess

I just had my first lesson with Mike. In addition to his deep knowledge of the game, and in addition to being a very fine teacher, what I appreciated most is his enthusiasm for the game. That is what make him a special teacher.
