How These Parents Feel About MyChessTutor's Impact Impact On Their Children

Average rating: 4.97 out of 5 (Based on 131 Reviews)

I was a little lost as to where to start with my 9 year old, as there are so many options for online chess. But the owner was clear from the get go, setting out how they would match a tutor. Enter his tutor, who's been highly inspiring, knowledgeable and above all creating great chemistry which makes lessons go smoothly! Already recommended it to my friends. Keep it up!

Our chess tutor's level of skill and ability to communicate effectively with an 8 year old has been remarkable. We are extremely pleased and would recommend this service to any parent looking to help their child's passion for chess.

- Salman. H

My sons, ages 6 and 8, have been taking online chess lessons with MyChessTutor for the past few months. They are very much enjoying their lessons with their chess tutors, who have adapted to my sons' unique learning styles. Both the owner and coaches are responsive and professional.

"My son had the privilege of getting chess lessons from one of the finest and outstanding tutors in MyChessTutor. I am pretty impressed to see that his skill level has improved significantly, and he is playing chess games better than when he first started chess lessons 6 months ago."

Mom of Parth

"Our son's tutor is great! He not only teaches my son how to play chess but also helps him how to handle failure. At the beginning, my son was very frustrated if he lost a game. Magically, after a few lessons, it totally changed. My son is very happy to play regardless of the result.  I also like having classes online. It is so convenient, saving a lot of time on commute."

Dad of Nolan
