I worked with another coach before I switched to Reece. Before Reece, I was struggling to improve my rating and to understand how to improve my weaknesses. Working with Reece, I improved quickly and made gains in my understanding of the game In a very short period of time, Plus, it made my chess experience a lot more fun! Reece is easy to work with and very professional. He met me at my level and helped me rapidly gain ground and rating points. I'm thrilled to recommend Reece as an outstanding chess coach.

My young son just started working with Reece recently, so I’ll have to update our review in the future as we progress, but, so far, Reece is very knowledgeable in his craft. It is one thing to be great at chess, but another to be able to be able to teach it to young children while being interesting and engaging. Reece is very responsive, professional and timely. My son is learning a lot and having fun. We are more than happy with the service Reece provides!
