2100+ Dynamic Coach | 25 Years Experience | Practical, Game-Based Learning

Hi everyone! I’m a lifelong chess player (schooled from a young age, unfortunately never got to pursue an OTB career due to certain life circumstances) with a rating of 2100+ on Chess.com. I’m looking to take on a few new students who want to improve their rating without getting bogged down in dry, overly theoretical lectures. ​My Philosophy: I believe the best way to learn is through active gameplay and analysis. Instead of memorizing lines from a book, we focus on fundamentals—tempo, development, and awareness—as they happen in your actual games. ​What I offer: • ​Beginners (<800): Mastering the "Golden Rules": piece value, safe development, and basic board vision. • ​Intermediate (800–1600): Eliminating "bad habits," fixing recurring blunders, and learning how to evaluate a position. • ​Game Analysis: We will deep-dive into your recent games to find exactly where your "leakage" is. ​The Environment: I keep classes relaxed and informal—no video calls required. We’ll use Voice + Screen Share on Discord (preferred), Zoom, or Google Meet. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions; that’s where the real growth happens. ​Pricing: • ​Rate: $25 USD / hour. • ​Trial: I offer a 30-minute diagnostic session for $10 so we can see if our styles match before you commit to a full hour. ​Ready to stop the blunders and start climbing? Send me a DM and let's start improving your game!
