Terrible coach. Advertises bogus services. Claimed to give students an app but its just a free Google sheet. Claimed to do an evaluation of your chess playing style but he is just using a free resource from chess.com which does all the work (its multiple choice based).

Alvin's coaching sessions have been incredibly beneficial. His ranking of 2232 speaks for itself, and after just a few lessons, I've seen real improvement in my rapid games. Highly recommended!
