I have a track record of increasing a players ELO 100+ points in less than a month! Let's level up your game together!

My tutoring approach is based on two main components: Personalization and thoroughness. I know that each and every one of us learns and retains information differently. My goal as your tutor will be to get to know you and learn what style is going to best suit your needs. If you do well with memorization vs. understanding deep concepts. If you prefer to learn many things shallow vs. one thing deeply. You will always be considered while each lesson is prepared. I am also extremely thorough. We will start from the very basic building blocks of the game of Chess. Making sure that you understand how the pieces move, to opening principles, middle game tactics, and how to win solved endgames. Once you have grasped all of those concepts, we will begin to introduce more intermediate chess concepts to take your game to the next level. You will be able to beat all your friends and family!
