My experience is that all of the parents who have Coach Matt supporting their children feel as Ravi does. My son does not idolize sports players, but Coach Matt is an exception. He is a positive influence in our son's life- one that my wife and I appreciate fully.

Matt is simply awesome as the coach of the Keystone chess club. He has taken the club from it's inception in 2005 and has nourished, guided and coached with energy and passion, so that now the club stands 35 members strong, with many of the kids competing seriously. His commitment to the kids is astounding.

Coach Matt is one of the best chess coaches I have ever seen. His enthusiasm and volunteerism in teaching and promoting chess in our school community have won many parents' respect. I especially admire his philosophy that "does whatever he can to help kids learn chess." His tireless effort in educating the children not only in chess but also understanding team spirit and sportsmanship really deserves a reputable recognition.
Coach Matt is amazing! I enrolled my children in both chess camp and zoo camp. I would have bet money the zoo camp would have been their favorite. But no! Matt's group lessons and enthusiasm spread the joy of chess. Each of my kids loved chess camp more!

Coach Matt has been teaching me for 7 years. I am now 14 and have progressed so much! He is very good at teaching strategies and how to apply them into a real game. Because of him I have been able to excel in chess and I would 100% recommend him over other coaches.

You taught my son from 2nd to 5th grade. He is now a sophomore in college. My son still plays chess nearly every day online! He loves it. You instilled a love of it early on and he is hooked. You visited my son when he was sick in the hospital. You made a huge impact on my son.
