As an active chess player with a peak rating of 1700 on Chess.com, I specialize in helping beginner and intermediate players build a solid foundation, eliminate costly blunders, and develop practical strategic thinking. My journey in chess has taught me that real improvement doesn't come from memorizing endless grandmaster lines, but from understanding key positional concepts, sharpening tactical vision, and learning how to evaluate board positions with confidence. Whether you are an adult improver stuck at a rating plateau or a parent looking for structured, engaging lessons for your child, I tailor every session to meet the student's specific goals.

My teaching experience includes working one-on-one with both children and adults in casual and structured environments. When teaching younger students, I focus on keeping lessons interactive, encouraging curiosity, and breaking down complex rules into digestible, fun exercises. For adult improvers, my approach is centered on game analysis and practical decision-making. We examine your actual played games to identify recurring tactical blind spots, refine opening habits, and build clear middle-game plans that you can immediately apply in your next matches.

Rather than overwhelming students with heavy computer engine analysis, I focus on relatable, step-by-step concepts that bridge the gap between knowing the rules and playing strong, winning chess. I foster a patient, supportive environment where questions are always welcomed, mistakes are treated as the best learning tools, and progress is measured by genuine understanding. I look forward to helping you or your child reach the next level in your chess journey.

I have played chess for 14 years and am rated 1700 Elo for rapid games on Chess.com, placing me in the top 1.1% of players. I am in the perfect position to help beginner and intermediate players reach this level because I recently navigated the same developmental habits myself. I have extensive experience working with students, including running a summer chess camp for children and tutoring English online. Furthermore, I have completed formal coursework for Teaching as a Profession, giving me the tools to build structured, effective lesson plans for my students.
