Jenny is a very good chess instructor. Because my son is so active and cannot focus to take online , he needs face-to-face class. Therefore, I am very happy to find her for my son. She is very responsiveness, patient, creative, and very knowledgeable. My son learn very quick with her and he also enjoys chess. I highly recommend her for any parents want their kids learn chess.

Jenny is a wonderful teacher. She helped our daughter develop her chess skills (including notation!) and her love for the game. The lessons are effective and also age appropriate where she pushes my child without being overbearing. I highly recommend her!

Jenny is the absolute best chess instructor I can ask for! We had her for one year and she taught my 10-year-old and my five-year-old and both of my kids learned everything they know about chess from Jenny. She’s amazing with kids and every time she came she had a different syllabus to teach my children from workbooks to work sheets to different apps and games on the computer. She also played games with them and taught them different strategies on how to think and win. She even gave them little toys after the session and my kids would get so excited. She really is a pleasure! My husband and I were extremely pleased with her. If you are considering having a chess instructor come to your home, Jenny is your girl! Thank you for all you taught my kids, they LOVE chess because of you, Jenny!

I wish I could pick all 5! Jenny is amazing she taught me how to play chess and was so patient and knowledgeable! I’m on of those learners I will ask any stupid questions just so I know and she was so patient and gave me a lot of advice what to look for, to think ahead, take your time before making your next move! Really gave me the ins and outs. I would highly recommend her if you just want to learn or even to spice up your skills! You won’t be disappointed with her!

I cannot say enough good things about my lesson with Jenny. She was extremely patient with me and was a sweetheart. I’m counting down the minutes to the next lesson. I would definitely recommend her to anyone…all ages.

If they already know how to play, I play them to see what their weak areas are, then training begins, which is customized for each student. I use several different methods to teach, workbooks, iPad, puzzles, games. I also give a prize(s) to students after each session… I try to keep the student engaged in various chess activities!!!!
