What My Students Say
Olga
mother of Matvey (16 y.o.)
An excellent specialist. The coach has strong teaching skills and managed to find a real connection with my son, who is on the autism spectrum. Matvey truly enjoys the lessons and looks forward to them. I highly recommend these classes
Andrey Vladimirovich, 49
CEO of a real estate agency
Highly recommended! A young, talented mentor with a deep passion for the game. He emphasizes strategic thinking while also sharpening your tactical awareness during play. The lessons are packed with meaningful homework and tools for self-development. Thank you!
Elena
mother of Grigory (16 y.o.)
My son trained with Evgeny, and I can say he is a magnificent and talented young coach. He built an excellent rapport with my son from the very first lesson. After just three months of training, Grigory won first place in a tournament — competing against adults!
Natalia - Cosmetologist, Dermatologist
Mother of 4: Alexey (14), Maria (14), Mikhail (9), Alexander (6)
Evgeny is a wonderful chess coach! He has been working with our family for 7 years, teaching all four of my children. He truly knows how to connect with kids and spark their interest in chess. Three boys and one girl — all of them attend lessons with great desire and enthusiasm, and the results are excellent. I rate him 10 out of 10. Highly recommended!
Evgenia
mother of Miron (5 y.o. at start)
My son started lessons with Evgeny in November 2022, at just 5 years and 1 month old. I was skeptical at first — my child is very active, restless, and has trouble sitting still, even though he has an excellent memory and a sharp mind. I seriously doubted anyone could hold his attention. But my son kept asking to learn chess, so I gave in. To my absolute surprise, he calmly sat through a full hour-long lesson and couldn't wait for the next one! Evgeny is an outstanding coach and a wonderful person. He found a connection with my child immediately. He delivers excellent knowledge, always arrives on time and well-prepared. He is completely at ease with a child moving around during the lesson — no forcing them to sit still like in school. The atmosphere is relaxed, yet the results are remarkable. My son has become more independent and does his homework on his own. Most importantly, his love for chess has only grown. He genuinely enjoys every lesson. I recommend Evgeny without any hesitation. An excellent teacher and a great human being.
