About Matthew
Hello! My name is Matthew, and I'm a dedicated chess coach with seven years of playing experience and a current Chess.com rating of around 2400. Over the years, I've developed a strong understanding of every phase of the game, from opening principles and tactical patterns to positional play and endgame technique.
I understand that every student learns differently, so I take the time to adapt each lesson to your experience, goals, and pace. Whether you're completely new to chess or looking to improve your online rating or tournament results, I'll provide structured guidance, constructive feedback, and practical training that leads to real improvement.
My lessons are professional, well organized, and focused on helping you become a more confident and independent player. I create a positive learning environment where questions are always encouraged, mistakes are treated as learning opportunities, and progress is measured over time.
I'm committed to being reliable, patient, and fully prepared for every lesson. My goal is not only to help you win more games but also to help you develop a deeper understanding and enjoyment of chess. I look forward to helping you reach your next milestone and achieve your chess goals.

My name is Matthew, and I believe the best way to improve at chess is by understanding ideas rather than memorizing moves. As a 2400-rated Chess.com player with seven years of playing experience, I tailor every lesson to the student's current level, goals, and learning style.
A typical lesson begins by reviewing one or two of the student's recent games to identify recurring strengths and mistakes. From there, we focus on a specific topic such as tactical patterns, opening principles, positional play, calculation, endgames, or time management. Each lesson includes practical exercises and opportunities to apply what we've covered in real positions, ensuring the concepts become second nature.
My teaching style is interactive and patient. I encourage students to explain their thought process before I provide feedback, helping them develop strong decision-making skills instead of relying on memorization. After each lesson, I provide practice recommendations and clear goals so students know exactly what to work on before our next session.
What sets me apart is my emphasis on practical improvement. Rather than overwhelming students with theory, I focus on the mistakes that have the biggest impact on their games. My lessons are structured, engaging, and designed to produce measurable progress.
Lessons are available for beginners, casual players, and intermediate competitors looking to improve their rating, tournament performance, or overall understanding of chess. Whether you're learning the game for the first time or aiming to reach your next rating milestone, I'll help you build a solid foundation and develop the confidence to play stronger chess.
