I am honored to share my experience with my 2 son’s chess tutor, Eddie. From the very first on-line session, it was clear that Eddie was the right fit for my 9 and 13 year old boys. Expertise and Skill: Eddie”s deep understanding of chess strategy and tactics is impressive. His ability to break down complex concepts into digestible pieces has significantly improved my sons’ game. Patience: Patience is a virtue, especially when teaching chess to young boys who are generally attention span challenged. Eddie never rushes through explanations, allowing my sons to absorb the material at their own pace. Whether it’s explaining openings, middle-game strategies, or endgames, he patiently guides them through each step. Adaptability: My sons have very different personalities. Eddie adapts his teaching style to match my sons’ preferences. Whether they prefers visual aids, practical examples, or theoretical discussions, he tailors the lessons accordingly. Encouragement: Chess can be challenging, especially for beginners. Eddie provides consistent encouragement and celebrates small victories. This positive reinforcement motivates my sons to keep learning and improving. Engaging Lessons: Eddie’s lessons are never dull. Learning chess feels like an exciting adventure rather than a chore. My two boys look forward to working with Eddie on a weekly basis. In summary, Eddie combines expertise, patience, and a genuine passion for teaching. My sons’ confidence and skills have grown significantly under his guidance. We feel fortunate to have found Eddie. Highly recommended!

Eduardo worked with my 9 year old for over six months. He is very detailed and knowledgeable about chess. In addition, he was extremely patient with my son and answered all his questions and most importantly made the game fun for him. I would highly recommend Eduardo. Good luck!

Me ayudó y cambió mi forma de ver el ajedrez. Para mí siempre ha sido difícil estudiar los libros, las técnicas o incluso se me hacía aburrido a veces la forma de enseñar de otras personas, pero en verdad quería aprender a jugar. EZ me ha ayudado a ver más allá de la técnica, y con la pasión que él ama el ajedrez, me motivó aún más a aprender. He mejorado mucho, y sé que también es ser paciente y constante, pero encontré una persona que ha tenido paciencia al enseñar y que en verdad ama lo que hace.
