Private Chess Lessons from National Masters for Students 4 and Up!

Private Chess Lessons from National Masters for Students 4 and Up!
PARTNER

 

US Chess National Master Evan Rabin has assembled a team of the best chess instructors around, including FIDE Grandmaster Mark Paragua, to form Premier Chess. We run programs at 30+ schools, including Grace Church School and Our Lady of Pompeii, and are available for private lessons, which are conducted in your home either after-school or on the weekend.

Here is what Bruce Pandolfini, the chess teacher who was portrayed by Ben Kingsley in Searching for Bobby Fischer, said about Evan Rabin:

“One of my favorite chess teachers is Evan Rabin. Despite his young years, he has had a ton of meaningful experience. Evan is constantly called upon to solve the practical problems of chess for youngsters and oldsters, newcomers and experienced players alike. In addition to his high level of knowledge and expertise, I particularly like his compassionate and understanding sensibility. Take a lesson from Evan, and you’d really feel you’ve found a completely attuned mentor and guide through the labyrinth of both tournament and casual chess challenges. If there were an ultimate course for chess instructors, Caissa would give Evan an A+.”

Lessons will help children with critical thinking, intuition and healthy competition as they begin participating in tournaments. Email premierchess64@gmail.com to schedule a FREE 30-Minute Consultation today!
