Lessons are extremely fun and helpful. Matias is very knowledgeable, and you can tell working through his training materials that they are very carefully chosen and designed to provide maximum instructional value. He is also very patient and kind, great qualities in a teacher. I highly recommend his lessons for anyone looking to improve their game, or just have a great time with chess!

I have been working with Matias for a little over 2 months now and I think he is an excellent chess coach/ tutor/teacher. I have had 3 previous chess coaches who I all found lacking. Matias is not a "one size fits all" tutor. He strives to understands his students strengths and weaknesses and develops a program from there. He is attentive and fully present in the lessons. I find the lessons to be fun but challenging at the same time. He assigns homework after every lesson which is aimed at improving the individual student's understanding and skill level. I highly recommend Matias. I feel fortunate to have found an FIDE certified coach with Matias' strengths, teaching ability and personality.
