Oliver Jacobson
Fun Chess Instruction by a High School Chess Player
In Ann Arbor, Michigan
Oliver has introduced our six-year old daughter to the wonderful world of chess! She acquired a foundation in the fundamentals, engaged in puzzle-solving exercises, practiced diverse opening strategies, and absorbed numerous nuances of the game that let her improve her level. Oliver demonstrated the utmost professionalism, empathy and patience throughout the process. I would definitely recommend him to everyone seeing individual chess lessons.

Our son (8 yo) has spent the majority of the academic year working with Oliver and has enjoyed his experience immensely. As a parent, we have seen our son grow quite a bit through his lessons with Oliver. Oliver is very patient and focuses on various chess playing skills to assist kids in becoming stronger players. Also, Oliver plays games regularly with real time feedback during lessons on a physical board which has been really helpful. Oliver does great work and we would highly recommend him to any families or kids looking to learn how to play chess or to become a better chess player. Thank you so much, Oliver!

Oliver is amazing as a chess tutor and so sweet and responsible too! Our son did lessons with him for a long time until we got sidetracked with other activities. His rates are also very reasonable. Highly recommend!
