I have been a student of the game for over 30 years and enjoy passing the torch to another generation of chess players. I think that tutoring is symbiotic in that my students learn from me and I get the satisfaction of watching them improve and compete.

I am a USCF Expert and Correspondence Senior Master with 20 plus years teaching experience with students of all ages. I have experience teaching in both public and private schools in addition to giving personal instruction. My students include the current NC K-1 Scholastic Third Place Champion. I enjoy teaching kids and adults, pushing them to focus and improve on a consistent basis.

My background playing is mostly correspondence chess which leads me to focus on small details and slowing down the pace of the game. I think kids learning chess can greatly benefit from playing slowly and methodically considering candidate moves and then finally picking up a piece to move. I believe playing blitz chess should be extremely limited and bullet chess should be absolutely avoided at all costs.

I try to encourage my students to ask questions. If they are asking questions then they are interacting and learning.

Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to schedule lessons and start to excel at chess!

great tutor

I would definitely recommend Peter as a Chess tutor. My son had his first lesson with Peter and I’m already very impressed with Peters ability to teach chess. Because Peter took the time to look at some of his games prior to the lesson he was able to get right into the lesson at the right level. Peter relates extremely well to my son. His instruction and his ability to challenge the student to think through their moves is remarkable. He has a very genuine enthusiasm for teaching chess.
