Professional Chess Coach

Philadelphia

  • I have a wide variety of interests that are constantly shifting, feel free to ask me what my current hobbies are!
  • I began teaching chess in 2017 as a beginner in an attempt to expedite my own learning, and it worked!
  • I played chess for my college as second chair!

Hey there! I’m a chess coach with a 2350 rating on Lichess and a very deep love for the game. I’ve coached everyone from young kids just learning the rules to advanced players looking to sharpen their strategy. I believe people learn best when they motivate themselves, so I've tailored my approach to maximize self-motivation and self-interest. Whether someone is brand new or just looking to level up, I make learning chess fun, clear, and rewarding!
