I teach beginner and intermediate chess to students of ages 5-105 with a structured syllabus that I tailor to your strengths and weaknesses. Meetings start with a fun activity followed by a lesson on a specific topic, then we'll play a game and analyze it together afterwards. You can also send me other games to analyze during the lesson, or pick your own topics like how to play a certain opening. I encourage everyone to do puzzles daily, and look at the game review for your games.
“As a long time teacher, I have the ability to identify teaching skills. Sean is a very good teacher. I had watched an online chess course and it was way over my head so I thought chess wasn't for me. But within 10 minutes Sean dispelled all that, made learning fun, AND taught me more in an hour than I learned during HOURS of online classes. Highly recommend Sean!” - Miles Coleman
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to real lessons experienced by the students of Sean.
Perfect! Sean is a breath of fresh air. He is very patient and his joy for the game is very infectious. Was an absolute pleasure to work with him and looking forward to the next lesson.
Perfect! Sean is a gifted teacher to young and old alike. I am a 73 year-old grandfather. Trial lawyer by occupation. Very active person in my career and family life. I have a loving six-year-old grandson , as all grandfathers would say, he is quite bright. We stared taking chess lessons with Sean about two months ago. It has been a wonderful experience. Of special note is that Sean is extremely patient and nimble when it comes to dealing with a very active and precocious little boy. I have no hesitancy to give Sean the highest possible rating. He’s been a wonderful addition to the development of my precious little boy and his grandfather. 5+ stars for sure!
