About Deron
I’ve played chess since grade school, competing in local, state, and national tournaments. On Chess.com, I rank in the Top 1% in Puzzles, Top 0.3% in Daily Chess, and Top 5% overall (≈1800 strength). I currently coach 15 students ages 5–12 through an after-school program in Northern New Jersey, along with private and classroom instruction. My teaching focuses on making chess engaging and approachable while developing tactical awareness, strategic thinking, confidence, discipline, and strong decision-making skills.

I’ve spent a lot of time with Deron, and he is extremely organized and thorough in his teaching. He’s also very patient, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
It is with great pleasure I write this letter of recommendation for Deron Burks . Deron and myself have been playing chess for many years dating back to the early 2000s about 20+ years or so.
I have been knowing Deron for 37 years and he is very knowledgeable and would be capable of teaching anyone entry level and above how to become a strategic chess player. I will also add that more importantly Deron would make the game exciting and fun to learn. I would highly consider Deron Burks as a Chess Tutor.
He’s a very smart chess player. Gives good advice and timely suggestions. He’s an extremely observant and intuitive player. He will teach you to be an astute chess player.
