Hector M.
Super friendly, patient, knows so much about the game and helps me improve my playing style. I have just learned how to use the French Defense and I am already winning more games as a result. Can’t wait for my next lesson!

Thank you Maria! Each day my daughter is more confident and happy to play chess. I am so proud of her and you are her inspiration. She likes you so much and is very pleased that you are her 1st chess teacher!

Maria and her staff are absolutely fabulous for beginners and have guided my daughter through the beginning stages of the game and now she is playing in tournaments!

Maria has been teaching my two daughters for over one year now and always manages to keep them engaged and looking forward to their lessons.
Michael M.
Our son has always been shy, but attending the chess academy has given him a community where he feels like he belongs. Watching him grow in confidence and skill has been a joy for our family. The academy does a fantastic job of teaching chess engagingly to children. A big thank you to the entire team!
Federica G.
Having tried different qualified chess masters, we think Maria offers not only high personal qualifications but an engaging teaching approach which makes every lesson enjoyable and stimulating. My son is now in the chess team of his school.

While working with Chris, I have had the chance to experience the multifaceted richness of chess. Chris pays attention to the deep knowledge chess requires and the beauty of the game. A good mentor and helpful teacher!

I was initially skeptical about how much my 8-year-old would enjoy chess, but the academy’s approach to teaching kids at their level of understanding is phenomenal. It’s not just about chess; it’s about teaching them valuable life skills like patience, strategic thinking, and sportsmanship. We’re so glad we signed up!
Sarah K.
Our twins have been attending the chess academy for six months, and their chess skills differ between night and day. But more importantly, they’ve learned how to think ahead, accept losing gracefully, and enjoy the process of learning. The academy has exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you Maria!
Laura J.
As parents, we’ve seen a remarkable improvement in our daughter Mia’s problem-solving skills ever since she joined the chess academy. The coaches are knowledgeable and incredibly supportive, making every session educational and fun for the kids. Highly recommend!

Michael is always finding creative and fun ways to improve my chess. Even if I lose a game, he stays positive. It’s thanks to him I won my first chess tournament. Michael is really friendly and entertaining.
