I am a professional chess coach, I have been working with kids and grown-ups since 2008. I am a candidate master in chess.

I am very pleased to write this recommendation for Emil, who has been tutoring my son, Mathew, in mathematics over the past several months. When we first started, Mathew was struggling with confidence and found math quite frustrating. Emil’s patient and encouraging approach made a huge difference from the very first lesson.

What truly sets Emil apart is the wonderful connection he has built with Mathew. Emil is not only a skilled tutor but also a great listener and motivator. He takes the time to understand how Mathew learns best and creates a comfortable environment where questions are always welcome. Mathew often talks about how Emil’s positive attitude and genuine interest in his progress make lessons something he enjoys and looks forward to.

I remember one particular moment when Mathew was very excited because Emil had explained a difficult topic in a way that finally “clicked” for him. Since then, his attitude towards math has completely changed — he’s more confident, curious, and motivated to keep improving.

Emil’s deep knowledge, kindness, and ability to tailor lessons to Mathew’s individual needs have helped him improve not only his grades but also his love for learning. I am truly grateful for Emil’s support and highly recommend him to any parent looking for a caring and effective math tutor.
