She thoroughly enjoyed this class!  We were impressed by how skilled she was just by these short, online classes.  Nice job!

I have to share, Braedon is an incredible chess coach and teacher! I even had a teacher from WVR come up to me yesterday and say, “that Chess teacher is great, he has the kids so engaged”. 

He just seems to “get it” and does an amazing job!

Our son has spoken so highly of the instructors he’s had when he has taken these courses & he loved working with Jesse!  Hoping you offer more classes in the future. :). Thank you & be well!

Great teacher!  My son learned a lot and talked about it the rest of the night.

I think the atmosphere of respect and the amount of work the kids do makes a good learning environment, and I think the kids feel great about their accomplishments and progress.  They have lots of fun, too!

We are so fortunate to have Chris teach my kids chess at northeast. I was unable to take my child to chess years ago because it was not offered at our school. I really hope other students take advantage of this wonderful program that helps kids think strategically. It’s a lot of fun too. Thanks again

2.5We like the coach and have enjoyed this class before. This was our third time taking fencing with Chris through Edina community Ed. This time it was WAY too full and we ended up not going and switching our son to a private fencing club so that he could get the attention and training we were hoping for. We did not ask for a refund but it felt like a big waste of money. This was not Chris's fault, he had to manage too many kids of differing skill and experience levels and it was not a good experience because we felt like our son was not learning. We will not take this class again and at this point sadly would not recommend to others, although we have in the past.FencingEDINA PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTEDINA COMMUNITY CENTER12/10/2019

0.5This was my first experience with YELI and it was terrible. My son was so excited to learn fencing and this class was painful. The instructor did not know how to make it age appropriate for the audience, the classes started late and moved very very slowly. I also don't know why I paid for a class that was on Halloween night 10/31. Told the instructor that class was scheduled for Halloween at the time every child in the class was going to be trick or treating and he said "I don't know, I don't schedule things." This class was a HUGE waste of money and I will not sign up for another YELI class. Very disappointed - Kerry KirvidaFencingEDINA PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTEDINA COMMUNITY CENTER12/18/2019

2.5My child enjoyed the class sometimes, but he often felt it was an unfair class. He is 11, and in 6th grade, fencing with and against kids who are up to at least 16 years-old. That is not appropriate or fair. He knew at the session-end tournament he had no chance of winning against someone much, much bigger and more skilled than him. It isn't appropriate for 6th graders to be with high schoolers. We would be willing to drive to a different metro area school to be with other middle-schoolers rather than have our 6th grader be in class with high schoolers. Also, we felt the session-end tournament was poorly run. The teacher didn't have control and they ran out of time to even finish all the bouts. That's just poor planning. After being happy with the YEL fencing for the past year and more, we were very disappointed this sessino.FencingWaukee Comm School DistrictWaukee South Middle School12/22/2019

0.5This is the second fencing class that he has taken with the same instructor. We were underwhelmed this past summer with the level of instruction during the week-long camp at Southwoods but decided to give it another chance, and unfortunately, he had a worse experience than this summer. There seems to be very little guidance and education about fencing done by the instructor. She appears to lack the ability to control young kids and create an environment where she has their attention. My son has learned very little about the sport of fencing other than the basic steps which were essentially a repeat of the summer's information. Further, in both the summer and the fall tournaments, the instructor decided it'd be a good idea to have the kids serve as referees to the matches. While this can be helpful in a practice setting so that they kids understand how to score a match, all this approach led to in both cases was confusion and arguments between the kids. I have a video of my son in a match where the referee is clearly missing the first strikes made and awarding points to the child making the late or second strike. Can you imagine how frustrating that must be for a child who is doing his/her best in a new sport? Finally, we also have a photo of the instructor on her phone in the second to last class while her students are practicing. Not sure if this is a paid or volunteer instructor...but I sure hope none of my $150 (now $300) went to her performance as a teacher of the sport.FencingWest Des Moines Comm School DistrictWestridge Elementary12/23/2019

4.5Would appreciate advanced notification of specifics needed for the competition. For example the wild ride class did not detail that gears would be needed. Knowing in advance would be helpful for the right supplies to be gather (or other lego creations to be disassembled). There are comments about lego competitions; we have not heard of these are they offered though YEL? The correct goto meeting link has been a challenge each week. Instruction has been very good and well facilitated.STEM with LEGO® BricksYel Mn C [ Training ]5/2/2020

2.5The video quality was not good for us. When we set our screen to show the person talking, Molly and/or Chet came up so blurry/glitchy that we couldn't see the magic trick very well (other participants that would talk would be clear on our screen - not sure why Molly/Chet weren't clear). If we left the screen with all participants in view, the screen where the magic trick was being taught was too small. My son lost interest in the class because it was difficult to see the trick oftentimes. He could learn from listening to the instructors, but found the other participants talking too much, and my son became bored each time and walked away from the class. I thought the idea of teaching magic tricks was a good idea - the format just did not work well for us.Online MagicYel Mn C [ Training ]5/29/2020

4For an autistic child, it was a great chance to have fun competing in something he really loves—brick building.

I do wish that she had encouraged some talking between participants, just to encourage socialization, but perhaps that feels too difficult over video chat programs. He struggled a bit to stay motivated and focused through class, but that's probably due to his age and also being at home where there are lots of distractions (as opposed to being in the store for class).

3There were days that he enjoyed the class and other days that he did not. I think it is tough to keep a 6 year old engaged in an online format. Use of the chat feature was challenging as he is still learning to read and write.

5My daughter really enjoyed the class! She was challenged to create things she ordinarily wouldn't build on her own, and so learned a bit in the process. I'm conflicted about the competition aspect of the classes. On one hand, it creates an element of motivation to meet certain design criteria and try to do good work. The tradeoff is that "non-winners" may feel discouraged.Online Brick BuildersYel Mn C7/2/2020

From the parent: During the second week, my daughter felt that she was being bullied and Coach J didn't do much about it when she told him. He said he needed proof that it was happening, which is what bullies count on. They act when authority figures aren't looking, and rely on the fact that victims won't be believed.

5Riley enjoyed the class and learning magic tricks, but he struggles sometimes with following along especially directions with multiple steps. He doesn't like to speak up to ask for help or have directions repeated. The smaller class size helped some. He does better with in person classes, but we signed up for online because that's about all that is available right now. I don't know if it is possible to next time to have videos or instruction sheets sent out so that we could practice after class and we could help him with it one on one? He can't remember how the tricks go and I wasn't able to help him during the class most of the time because of work. I understand that wouldn't allow for the illusion to stay secret so maybe it wouldn't be possible with this particular subject. Riley has taken several YEL classes and he always has a lot of fun while still learning. All the teachers have been great and have had lots of patience!

5I gave 5 stars because my son absolutely adores Nathan and I cannot give him anything lower but this was not fun for my son and we will not continue to sign up for online classes. My son has been doing after school chess for 5 years but he loves the social part of the game as much as the game itself and the online play with no social interaction does not work for him. If you could come up with a way for people to interact with one other in more of a face to face manner, he would sign up again.Online ChessOnline10/14/2020
5My son says Nathan is very supportive and nice. My son was at 1201 when I signed him up, so I chose the 4.0 level, and that was too hard for him. He said he didn't learn anything because it was over his head, and he was frustrated because he lost so often in the tournaments. Trying 3.0 next time to see if that's a better fit. I do wish it started a little later, as my son finishes school right at 3:00.Online ChessOnline10/14/2020

3Very nice guy, and I know the pandemic has probably thrown a wrench into the delivery of this program, but I have seen two major deficiencies (I leave it to your discretion to assign the relative degrees of responsibility between the instructor and the organization): 1) Delivery of the content / use of technology. At least half of almost every session has involved struggles with the technology, whether it's GoToMeeting, Chess.com, ChessKid.com, or whatever visual aids (often Notepad) are being used. 2) Pedagogy. There doesn't appear to be one. In the first session, we were discussing strategy and tactics before the nature and rules of the game had been explained. There were examples of specific checkmate strategies before it was explained what "checkmate" was. Mr. Hoover is clearly very knowledgeable, patient, and well-intentioned, but the course would be much more effective if there were 1) a specific plan for how to use the technology to deliver the content, and 2) a specific plan for the orderly, graduated presentation of the material. Again, I'm sure this arrangement is new for everyone and presents a ton of new challenges. My son has still very much enjoyed it and is starting to pick up the game.Online ChessOnline10/14/2020
3We haven't had too much exposure to Mr. Gunhus. He's been in a few of the sessions and has chimed in to help on occasion. In one of the sessions, he stepped in to help course-correct when things seemed to have gotten a bit off track. He pulled up what appeared to be pre-existing lesson plans. This was certainly an improvement on the ad-hoc, ad-lib nature of the course to that point. Trying to stick more closely to a planned syllabus would probably improve the effectiveness of the course. That said, my son has still very much enjoyed it and is starting to pick up the game.Online ChessOnline10/14/2020

5From Client: Just a quick note – I stopped in at the high school on Monday, didn’t want to interrupt the class, but the instructor was doing a fabulous job – class was well managed and it looked like the students were very engaged. Thank you!!!ChessMINNETONKA PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTMinnetonka Senior High10/22/2020
5He’s really looking forward to doing another round of lessons. He just started really playing chess in March and these lessons have been a saving grace for him during all of the weirdness this year. I truly appreciate having this available to him.Online ChessOnline10/23/2020

5Braeden is great with the kids. You can tell he truly cares about teaching and that each child learns. One item that was brought up during class was making two age groups So that there were 2 separate classes, one for younger grades and the other for older grades. I support this as there was parent discussions about lack of spaces and concern for signing up for future sessions. Please consider adding a second class for Crystal/New Hope.FencingNew Hope Parks and RecreationCrystal Community Center11/27/2020

5***SURVEY WINNER!***My girls loved the class. The only issue I had was on my end. With changing schedules and how hectic it is to have all kids home, I forgot about two of the classes. Again, completely my fault, but a reminder email would have been so helpful. The girls are so sad to have missed, and I feel terrible I let them down. Online MagicOnline12/1/2020

5Just wanted to send a note to let you know how happy we are with the online chess platform! Thise year we are online schooling and its such a nice fit for us. I hope you consider offering a online class even after all this covid stuff so that students in lower enrollment areas can continue in this awesome program. We are loving it! Keep up the great work!Online ChessOnline12/10/2020

5Last week there was a sub teacher in Groveland who taught Mira. The reason I'm writing to you is to get that teachers name and information,  so I can sign my kids up for a private lesson with him. Mira came back that day and played like a champ with just 4 moves defeating me!!!!!( and I've played chess all my life) She said the new teacher taught her that move. I was rather impressed.ChessMINNETONKA PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTGroveland Elementary - Minnetonka12/15/2020
2My son constantly made comments that the teacher wasn't able to control the group. Maybe it was a rowdy group of kids, but my son just kept saying that the teacher had no control. Maybe in the future you can send an assistant if it is too overwhelming for the teacher.FencingMaple Bluff Parks and RecreationBeach House12/16/2020

2.5My son enjoys all time spent playing on the computer. We as parents were disappointed in that there wasn't a topic each class. There wasn't a learning component. On a positive note, my son enjoyed being able to show what he had done with the rest of the class.CodingDeForest Area School DistrictDeforest Village Hall12/17/2020
3My son started off very excited, but eventually stopped going. He said that at the end most kids were messing around so he wasn't learning anything and it was boring. He would be interested if there was more structure where he could learn specific skills and have more structures sparring.FencingMaple Bluff Parks and RecreationBeach House12/18/2020

5I have to share, Braedon is an incredible chess coach and teacher! I even had a teacher from WVR come up to me yesterday and say, “that Chess teacher is great, he has the kids so engaged”.

2The first day my kids ended class with tears. They felt they weren’t being acknowledged because they weren’t catching onto the trick quick enough for the instructor. They felt the instructor on the first day wasn’t engaging with them like she was with the other students. They honestly didn’t want to continue attending but they did due to their love for magic. Overall, as a parent I wouldn’t recommend this class to others. Online MagicOnline2/5/2021
