Over my 3 years of chess coaching, I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of students, as well as their parents and teachers. Their feedback reflects the positive impact of my coaching on chess development and engagement.
Jonty Oud was my chess coach for around about a year. During that time, they demonstrated a deep knowledge of the game, skill and passion for teaching and dedication to my development. Jonty is both willing and able to create a personalised training plan, based on your strengths and weaknesses, and oversees your development into a better chess player. I could not recommend them highly enough.
Jonty's enthusiasm for chess is contagious, and he models a positive attitude to match. He will definitely improve your game. He has mine. Chess can help to improve some students self esteem, their concentration and their resilience/tolerance.
I want to recommend Jonty Oud as a chess teacher. My son has been taking lessons with him for several months now. Jonty is very patient and explains things clearly. My son's chess skills have improved a lot since he started. Jonty makes the lessons interesting and interactive. My son always looks forward to his next class. I think Jonty really loves to teach chess. Without hesitation, I confidently recommend Jonty as a chess teacher.
I’ve seen firsthand how effective Jonty’s coaching is—he has taught many students at my school and made chess engaging and easy to grasp. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and adapts his teaching to suit all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to sharpen your game, his coaching builds confidence and clear strategy. I’d highly recommend him to anyone wanting to improve at chess.
I'm in the process of collecting more testimonials from the many wonderful students, parents, and teachers I've had the pleasure of working with. Your patience is appreciated as I continue to update this page!
