"I just finished my 6th lesson with Valeri, and I've been very pleased. He puts a great deal of energy into his teaching. That's critical, especially because work and family come first for me, meaning I have to wake up early or stay up late for lessons. So his enthusiasm helps alot. Valeri recommends great resources to address weaknesses in my play, and the video lessons, which directly address my needs, are recorded so that I can review them later. His English is excellent, which is also very important. And he takes a sincere interest in his students -- he's always encouraging me to play and send him my games. (And since he's on Chess.com, he can access all my games here -- also very convenient.)" -- Matt, Florida, United States
