I am currently a college student with over 8 years of real-life tournament chess experience.

I am currently a college student with over 8 years of real-life tournament chess experience. I have competed in a variety of events, from local club matches to larger regional tournaments, and my teaching style comes directly from what works in practical, competitive play. I focus heavily on the fundamentals such as piece activity, board control, and strategic planning because I believe these skills create lasting improvement far more than memorizing openings.
I have prior experience coaching and tutoring in both chess and other academic subjects. I have taught students of all ages, from kids just learning how the pieces move to adults looking to refine their play for club or tournament competition. I have worked in both one-on-one and small group settings, adapting my approach to each student’s pace, strengths, and goals.
My lessons are interactive and hands-on. We review games, solve tactical puzzles, study key positions, and practice decision-making under different conditions. I make sure students understand why certain moves are strong so they can confidently apply the concepts in real games.
If you are looking for a chess tutor who brings competitive experience, a focus on strong fundamentals, and a proven ability to explain ideas clearly, I would be glad to help you develop your skills and deepen your understanding of the game.
