Use digital boards and game files to move quickly from position to explanation to assignment.
Why Online Lessons Work
Game-Based Diagnosis
Your recent games reveal what to train next: calculation, openings, endings, practical decisions, or nerves.
Study Between Sessions
The lesson is not the whole plan. You leave with homework that makes the next game more instructive.
Good Fit For
- Adults who want structured improvement without commuting.
- Scholastic players preparing for rated events or nationals.
- Players outside Rhode Island who want Matthew's coaching style.
- Students who want recurring game review and practical assignments.
What To Send Before An Online Lesson
The best online lessons start with evidence. Send a recent PGN, a tournament game, an online game that bothered you, or a position where you could not explain what went wrong. Add your rating range, time control, and goal for the next few months.
That context keeps the lesson concrete. We can spend the time on decisions that actually show up in your games instead of wandering through generic material.
