“Josh has been patient and thorough in helping me train for the SAT Math section. He helped me target the areas of the test that I needed to work on by preparing for the common types of questions on the test. Using his review PDF he pointed me to solutions, formulae, and patterns saving me time preparing by telling me the standard math techniques and SAT question types.”

— Ming, 4 lessons with Josh

“Josh was great with my 10 year old for his first lesson. He worked on basics of chess and helped prompt him to think a little differently. My son is enthusiastic and excited. Audio and video are done on his cell phone, which does make it a little more challenging to hear and engage as well - but otherwise very good.”

— Sheena, 1 lesson with Josh

“Josh is quite patient with kids! I believe it is difficult to teach kids online because some can get distracted so easily. Josh stays chill and reminds my guy of his next choice move.”

“My daughter had a BLAST working with Josh on slope intercept. She was fully engaged and enjoying herself the entire time. Upon the completion of her session she felt more confident with her graphing and understanding of slope intercept. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone in need of some assistance in math. We can’t wait til we have our chess lesson with him too.”

— Venketesh, 16 lessons with Josh

“Coach Josh was excellent with our grandkids (ages 6, 10 and 13 years). Very patient and reassuring. They all had fun which was surprising since they are beginners. Each child was given additiinal activities to do on their own. Coach has an online club at ChessKid where his students can play each other. The coach reviews their work and gives us feedback throughout the week. It's a great way for the kids to learn and practice between lessons. Lessons were fun and I enjoyed myself. I was pleasantly surprised!”

— Gail, 1 lesson with Josh

“I'm a beginner at chess and had my first lesson ever with Josh. Going in I was a bit skeptical as to how useful a live lesson would be, but Josh was extremely friendly and was able to create a session that fit my skill level and kept things fun and interesting. I'd highly recommend him as a tutor for anyone on the fence about getting lessons!”

— Albert, 1 lesson with Josh

“Josh is helping my 6 year old to learn chess, he enjoys playing on chess kid.com with coach. He already so much just with couple of lessons, he is always excited for upcoming lessons thanks to Josh fun filled approach. I highly recommend Josh for learning and improving your Chess game.”
