Matias is an excellent chess coach. I'm an adult woman who took up chess later in life. We've only been training together for 3 months and I already see USCF rating gains. Matias is patient, friendly, and organized. He's thoughtful with his lessons and provides fun and interesting materials tailored to the needs of the student. He has pinpointed specific weaknesses in my game and crafted a plan of improvement. His lessons are level appropriate, yet challenging enough to push me outside my comfort zone. I highly recommend him. - Ari

Matias is a great chess teacher. He has been challenging to the right level with my son who has been learning chess for the past year. Furthermore, he is very precise with scheduling and follow up communication. I have appreciated that he always sends "homework" and short videos to progress the learning outside of his lessons.
