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 deep love for the game. I was the second chair on the Temple University chess team, and I’ve coached everyone from young kids just learning the rules to online players looking to sharpen their strategy. Whether you’re brand new or looking to level up, I make learning chess fun, clear, and rewarding!
