Ryan travelled to my home to give me a piano lesson. Not only did he teach me about technique, but he also taught me more about music than I thought here was to learn! He gave me knowledge about theory and composition that, instead of being boring and dry, actually inspired me to keep going with my studies. I'm look forward to our future lessons!

My son liked chess before lessons, and absolutely loves chess after only two lessons. He looks forward to his class all week! And his skills have tremendously improved. I couldn't be more satisfied.

Michael's very easy to get along with, reasonably priced and flexible. I've been taking chess lessons for a month now and I feel encouraged about my game. I look forward to my lessons each week. Also I know he's willing to teach all ages.

John is a wonderful chess instructor. He doesn't focus on rote memorization, but on themes that arise throughout the game. He's adept at teaching to requests, but also at bringing relevant problems and games to review. I've found his instruction incredibly helpful in developing my gameplay.
