Online Chess Coach for Adults & Teens 16+ — Play With Quiet Dominance, Learn Fast, and Win More Games

Very knowledgeable, had me thinking differently after a session

Jon has been an excellent (and patient) chess teacher. He's taught me from beginner fundamentals of chess through opening, midgame and endgame strategies. My skill has SERIOUSLY improved under his tutelage - I highly recommend!

He’s a great teacher and is always patient and supportive. We have been playing chess for almost 20 years and his skill and knowledge are far beyond anyone else that I play with. He's great at remembering where in a game that I made mistakes and resets the game to that point ant the end and walks me through the better options that I missed.

Jon taught me so much about how to move my chess game to the next level. He is really the whole deal. He gave me book recommendations, online tools and apps, as well as teaching me how he thinks about given situations. From the tons of openings he taught me, to the logic of game development, and even end game thinking.

Anything I lack now comes from me and my willingness to put the time in. Jon gave me the tools to use and a true understanding of the game. I could not ask for more, or be more grateful.

A true chess master. Jon is patient and a humble person with a great knowledge of strategically playing the game we love called Chess.

Jon is one of those rare teachers who makes learning both fun and genuinely meaningful. He has a real gift for explaining chess concepts in a way that’s easy to understand, while still challenging you to think deeper and improve every lesson. He’s patient, encouraging, and always prepared, and you can tell he truly cares about his students’ progress. I’ve seen real improvement thanks to his guidance, and I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to get better at chess.
