We have had a few lessons with Josh and absolutely love it! He does a great job of engaging our 7 year old and turning chess into a story. Our son is constantly asking when his next lesson is!

About Next Move Chess Academy
We’ve taught chess to just about everyone. From kindergartners learning how the pieces move for the first time, to adults in their 50s picking the game back up after decades away. That range has shown there's no one-size-fits-all way to coach: kids need games and patience, adults need structure and context, and groups need an instructor who can keep every skill level engaged at once. Wherever you're starting from, whether you've never touched a chessboard or you already know the rules and want real strategy, we can get you from "how do the pieces move" to mainline openings and tournament-ready play in just a few sessions. Chess has no age limit, and neither does getting better at it.
Reviews
Coach Josh was exactly on time and was amazing working with my grandson. His energy, his direction and communication with this 9 year old was wonderful. My grandson totally connected with Coach Josh as he totally focused on him and learning what he knew about chess and working with him. We look forward to seeing him next Sunday.
I was a little nervous about hiring someone through the app. I wasn’t sure if my 14-year-old son, who has ASD and ADHD, would connect with a new tutor since he usually has a difficult time warming up to new people. However, I knew how much he loves chess and wanted to improve, so I decided to take a chance with Joshua. They clicked immediately. Joshua’s attitude, patience, and approach made my son feel comfortable right away. He kept my son engaged throughout the lesson, and, most importantly, my son is excited to continue his chess lessons with Josh. Seeing him so enthusiastic means everything to me. I highly recommend Joshua to anyone looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and encouraging chess tutor.
