Coach Karen is an amazing teacher. She has a way of reaching my 8-year-old daughter that brings out the joy and excitement of chess. Coach Karen has been my daughter’s chess coach for almost 3 years. My daughter’s chess skills, knowledge and love for the game have dramatically increased since she started working with Coach Karen. One key aspect about Coach Karen’s method is that she teaches you to think not just memorize moves. Coach Karen also partners up with the parents to better help support your child. She comes up with plans, material and advice to help you help your child be successful at chess. She has also invited multiple chess professionals to evaluate my daughter’s progress so she gets a fresh perspective on my daughter’s development. As a result of working with Coach Karen, my daughter is among the top students in a school in New York City that is a powerhouse in chess that has won multiple Chess Grade National championships.
