"I wasn't sure about my son having a chess coach as he is already great at playing chess. But I can see he needs some extra support, especially with Over the board classical chess. His lessons are going really well, he enjoys them and I look forward to seeing his continued development"

"As a parent, I've made sure that my son is involved with things that interest him the most. Chess is one of those things. He's already at a great level, but he is doing much better since having coaching with Mindful Moves. As we're a busy family, and were not able to have in person coaching due to location, we opted for online lessons which are great"
