Carter is a dream coach for our young Astor and any other child looking for chess lessons! He is super great with kids, was able to get her at 5 years old to pay attention to the game, has improved her ability and enthusiasm for chess tremendously, and most importantly he has fun! Coach Carter also brought our daughter awesome chess.com swag like magnets, books, and pins for her school bag, she loves it! His ability to connect and maintain our daughter’s interest in this amazing game has been unmatched and we look forward to continuing to work with him.
