Matthew has been a fantastic tutor to our 6 year old son for chess. Our son had no chess experience before working with Matthew and he found his love for the game. We focused on interest initially to ensure he enjoys the game and the lessons. He started working with Matthew when he was 5y old and. Highly recommend Matthew!

I had chess lessons from Matt over a number of weeks. I’m an adult Club-level player. Matt’s lessons were great, especially his lessons on opening preparation and the queen’s gambit for white. I have undoubtedly benefited from his coaching and I’m sure others who wish to improve will also. Highly recommended. Ben.

My daughter has been learning Chess with Matthew. She has improved a lot. I strongly recommend him.

Just want to thank you for the help and support you provided to our 8 year old in her study of chess. We found you to have a very good understanding of the subject matter. The techniques you taught her such as writing down her moves and being focused have been extremely helpful and we have seen a vast improvement in her understanding of the game.

Matthew gave me many chess lessons which were really enjoyable. They helped me improve massively.

Matthew gave my son just 3 one to one Chess coaching sessions in the run up to the National Primary School Chess Championships. He even set homework and looked at my son’s games online between sessions. Matthew picked up on how to strengthen the game very quickly and taught some very effective moves. My son went on to do extremely well and moved up a board and beat Haberdashers school for the first time, his nemesis. He said that Matthew had given him confidence and had understood how to improve his game. Matthew’s Chess coaching is second to none.

Matthew was great with my son who thoroughly enjoyed Chess, Maths and Spanish tutoring from Matthew. He is reliable, friendly and happy to work things through at an appropriate pace. I would definitely recommend Matthew.

My son thoroughly enjoys his Spanish tuition sessions with Matthew and even more so that the session ends with a chess session. Matthew takes his time and explains things very well to my 6 year old. Thank you!

Mathew is very dedicated and works wonderfully with children. He has been teaching Srot for more than 6 months now and I am very pleased with how Srot is making progress.

Matthew is a fantastic teacher and a true chess expert who I would highly recommend to anyone either looking to learn for the first time or brush up on their skills. Matthew is very invested in the progress and development of his students and is very committed to ensuring you understand the rules of the game and that you continue to improve under his tutorship. He was always punctual, patient and respectful during my time working with him.

Matthew is a good Chess tutor and great with kids. My daughter won the school Chess tournament too. He is flexible in arranging lessons which is a bonus given the heavy term time school curriculum.
