Our daughter just started her first chess lesson with Valery. He was friendly, patient and encouraging. Looking forward to learning more about the game!

Valery has a really strong knowledge base and applies it in the form of examples from historical games when answering my questions. His patience and thoughtfulness in response to my questions are so helpful! A great teacher

Mr Filippov is patient and nice. He helps me understand different strategies. He makes it fun to play chess too. It is easy to connect on Lichess and complete study homework.

We have had a very positive experience with Valery Filippov as our chess teacher. He is extremely patient with both our 5 year old and 7 year old. They look forward to their chess lesson every week. Highly recommend.

My son is only 6 but loved his first session and is exited about continuing. I wasn't sure if he would appreciate the online platform but he enjoyed it. Thanks!

Valery is knowledgeable, patient, and personable. He knows chess forwards and backwards and has a lot of information to guide a new player, or in my case, a returning player. His teaching was a very good experience for me.

Our 15-year old son thoroughly really enjoyed his first class with Valery. He described Valery as knowledgeable, prepared, and friendly.

My 12 year old son looks forward to his chess lessons each week with Grandmaster Filippov. He’s engaged and motivated to continue learning. Valery is patient, educates at an appropriate level, and makes learning feel like “just games”. Really impressive; especially as it’s all virtual!

Valery Filippov is good teacher that has my son engaged in the game.

Valery Filippov is an excellent instructor. I'm a beginner and have learned so much. My puzzle rating has gone from 500 to over 1000. I'm looking forward to playing some games and feel confident my game will change dramatically too.

Valery was a good instructor. I enjoyed my 1st session with him and look forward to future sessions as look to improve my chess game.

After 2 years of weekly classes, I can say with confidence that Grandmaster Valery Filippov is a great teacher! He’s patient, supportive and so knowledgeable. As an adult learner I am really enjoying his classes!

Highly recommend Valery! In addition to being an impressive player, he is a great teacher. Very good at explaining concepts and he doesn't make you feel dumb. He does a good job listening and makes the lesson about what is most helpful to YOU vs just talking about what he wants to. 5 stars!

Valery makes chess easier to understand and fun at the same time. He starts with the basics along with working on what you need. I keep notes from my week of playing online and we discuss what happened as he provides tips. I Highly recommend Valery Filippov.

I highly recommend Valery as a chess tutor. Over the past five weeks of weekly meetings, he has completely transformed the way I see the board and make moves. His ability to simplify complex positions and recognize the intentions of the opponent has been invaluable in helping me understand and improve my game.

Valery gave a chess lesson to my son (as a Christmas gift from me). My son was looking for a tutor to help him develop some higher skills and Valery was personable and enjoyable as well as giving him some good skills to try out. I'm sure we'll be using him again.

Mr. Filippov did a great job of teaching me how to get better, giving me more platforms to improve on, and tips to help in games. He had a lot of resources at the ready for almost every situation. On top of that, he was very sincere and friendly. I had a great time taking the lessons.

Valery has taught me strategies and openings which is exactly what I was looking for! Ive also learned to predict moves ahead of both mine and my opponents. It has been so much fun and I’ve learned so much!

Worked on a new opening and improving middle game play. Valery communicates well, has good ideas about how to improve, and checks to make sure we are working on skills that I want to improve.

Valery is an engaging, patient tutor who is perfect for our 7yo son who is just starting out with chess. He talks about key chess concepts like controlling the center and developing pieces in a way which makes learning fun and challenging without being overwhelming. My son has 2 lessons of 60 minutes each per week which is perfect for him.

I would recommend Valery for anyone looking for a chess tutor. No matter your age or skill level, he is going to be able to help you take your game to the next level. By our second lesson, he was already identifying personal weaknesses in my chess and helping improve them. Whether you are a beginner trying to learn the game or an intermediate player trying to reach the next level, Valery will help you reach your goal.
