Hey there! Sure why not, I'll share a bit.

I charge $25/hour for u1000 students, and $30/hour for over 1000.

My online ratings vary between 2100-2400 depending on site, or time control. However, I do not play much online. My USCF rating is 1925 and going up.

Notable experiences include BEING coached by a well known coach, I think this can help a lot when coaching, because it can show you how it should be done. I also am currently the Idaho State Champion.

Private lessons: Yes

Coach gives homework: If wanted by student, absolutely!

Coach responds to email/forms of communication: Yes

Coach provides extras: Yes, this can come in different forms, but I answer question during each week, look over games students share, or sometimes give a membership to a student who has potential and needs it most.

Hope this is helpful towards your research, and anyone else who is interested in coaching.

Have a great day!

Josh Price
