What Our Students & Parents Say

  • Dionysios is an example of an exceptional teacher: knowledgeable, patient and engaging. He doesn’t give answers straight away but guides the student to think differently and reach to the conclusions by their own, prioritising the reasoning behind each lesson. I would definitely recommend to close friends and family, young or adult.

    Pablo

  • I got Zapantes (Dio) to teach my kid to play chess. He has made chess super fun and interesting. He is patient and engaging. He’s a really good teacher.

    Nicolette

  • Very experienced staff! Particularly impressed with the way they were delivering their sessions, which were both fun and educational!
