Oliver B
Excellent chess tutor!
My son has been having online chess tutorials with Oliver and I can’t believe how much he has learned and improved in just a few lessons. I wasn’t sure how well my 10 year old would be able to concentrate with online chess but he is transfixed for an hour and wants more lessons straight away.
Oliver is patient and supportive. He gets the right balance of teaching and making the lessons fun. He is also able to adapt and accommodate for children with any additional learning needs. I’d highly recommend him as a chess tutor!
