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.

When I was first looking for a chess coach, I was uncertain if I really wanted to find one. Do I want to spend the money? Will I really improve? I had previous coaching experience, but it didn't feel very organized and it didn't help as much as I was hoping. Coach Matías is an excellent coach. He does not charge too much but is very organized and methodical. He has many materials planned out which really made me grasp the positional concepts I used to lack. I really have improved, and I look forward to reaching new heights with such an amazing tutor.

Matias is very knowledgeable and insightful teacher. His lessons are constructive, fun and challenging. I have improved have improved tremendously after studying with him. If you're looking to be inspired and sharpen your game, I highly recommend you study with Matias!
