Great coach! James is very patient with my mistakes and has helped me improve a lot on my tactics and calculations.
I've been taking lessons with James for 3 months and already increased my chess.com rating from 1100 to 1800. The combination of puzzle solving, game analysis, and practice games really accelerated my growth and confidence as a player. Highly recommend!
