About me

WFM Sarah Longson from England.
I did a lot of 1:1 lessons training children to get into the England team and to be successful representing England.
I am now focusing on group training in groups of similar ability level
Together with my husband FM Alex Longson (rowrulz) we have put together hundreds of carefully prepared lesson plans that will get sent out after lessons.
We motivate children/adults to work hard outside lessons - this is what will truly help you get better at chess!
Lessons are fun and engaging
