About Deron
I’ve played chess since grade school, competing in local, state, and national tournaments. On Chess.com, I’m ranked in the Top 1% in Puzzles, Top 0.3% in Daily Games, and Top 5% overall (≈1800 strength). I currently tutor 15 students (ages 5–12) in an after-school program in Northern NJ and also teach in classroom settings. I love helping young learners build confidence, discipline, and real chess skills through clear, engaging instruction.

I offer personalized chess lessons for students of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced competitors. Each session is designed to build tactical awareness, strategic thinking, pattern recognition, and confident gameplay.
Rates:
• Beginners: $30/hr
• Intermediate–Advanced: $40/hr
• Classroom/Group Sessions: $50/hr
During lessons, we focus on practical improvement—game analysis, targeted drills, opening fundamentals, and decision-making under pressure. For students who want quicker progress, I can provide optional homework and study routines.
Bonus Challenge: If you beat me in a lesson game, you’ll earn $5 back for that session (one rebate per hour). It’s a fun way to stay motivated and competitive.

I’ve spent a lot of time with Deron, and he is extremely organized and thorough in his teaching. He’s also very patient, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
It is with great pleasure I write this letter of recommendation for Deron Burks . Deron and myself have been playing chess for many years dating back to the early 2000s about 20+ years or so.
I have been knowing Deron for 37 years and he is very knowledgeable and would be capable of teaching anyone entry level and above how to become a strategic chess player. I will also add that more importantly Deron would make the game exciting and fun to learn. I would highly consider Deron Burks as a Chess Tutor.
He’s a very smart chess player. Gives good advice and timely suggestions. He’s an extremely observant and intuitive player. He will teach you to be an astute chess player.
