Matias has been fantastic at understanding my skill level and then building personalised lessons to help me improve. These are very engaging and although sometimes tough, I always end the lesson feeling like I've really benefited. My chess calculation and understanding of positions in particular have improved massively and I can see a direct improvement in the results I'm having over the board. Matias is also great at going through my over-the-board games with me and can easily describe specific ideas, which is better than simply looking at a 10-move engine line and trying to understand why the computer thinks you're winning at the end. Would thoroughly recommend Matias!

Matías is an unbelievably thoughtful instructor. After the first couple of lessons, I could feel the level of preparation and attention to detail through his chess exercises. In the beginning, he expressed his big picture idea for teaching chess, and since then, he continues to back up his macro level strategy for teaching with incredibly intentional puzzles. Each puzzle hits precisely on an area of my brain that Matías intends to develop; sometimes I can’t help but smile when he shows me a new exercise and I can feel the specific muscle in my brain trying to solve the problem It's obvious to me that Matías spends an enormous amount of time designing and refining his lesson plans. It’s also clear that his passion for the game makes the experience of each lesson singular. Whether it’s a chess story he tells as an anecdote before he reveals the next puzzle, or a moment where he bursts with appreciation for a brilliant chess move, the lessons are always exciting and engaging.
