Elevate Your
Game.

I am a 2100+ rated chess player with over ten years of experience teaching chess to students of all ages, from young beginners to serious adult improvers. I have won multiple blitz and rapid tournaments, and I have defeated titled players both over the board and online. My coaching experience includes one-on-one instruction with children, teens, and adults, helping beginners learn the fundamentals and more advanced students improve their rating, prepare for tournaments, and break through plateaus.

My teaching philosophy focuses on understanding core chess concepts rather than memorizing hundreds of lines of theory. Many students spend years trying to memorize openings without knowing why moves work. I teach the principles of openings, middlegame strategy, and endgames so students can think for themselves, reduce blunders, and improve much faster while saving hundreds—often thousands—of hours of inefficient study. This approach is especially effective for beginners, scholastic players, and adults who want lasting improvement.

Each student receives a personalized study plan tailored to their goals, whether that is learning chess from scratch, building strong fundamentals, improving online ratings, or preparing for tournaments. I update this plan during the week based on lesson progress. Students also receive access to my personal library of chess resources, including curated courses, instructional content I’ve created, and concept-based quizzes covering openings, middlegames, and endgames from beginner through advanced levels.

Outside of lessons, I provide ongoing support. Students can ask chess-related questions between sessions at no additional cost and join a private Discord community to learn alongside other students of similar level. I also organize online tournaments so students can practice competitively in a structured environment. I offer a free first lesson so we can assess your level, identify priorities, and build a clear plan for improvement.
