I started my chess journey during the Queens Gambit 2020 chess boom and have not looked back since. My teaching journey started in 2022 when a few friends of mine wanted to learn. They loved my lessons and encouraged me to do them full-time!

Since then I’ve taught 1 on 1 private lessons, and group classes at my local chess club, and started creating content to share what I can.

At a rating of 1740, I may not be the strongest player but you don’t have to be the best player to be a strong teacher. I’ve developed a training program that puts the beginner player at the center. With a priority of getting their game to a place where they can move on to a stronger coach with all the foundational skills, they should have.

I’m also a guide for my student throughout their first chess experiences, whether that is finding a chess club, playing in their first chess tournament, or being with you as you fight through those initial growing pains of chess (trust me, we’ve all been there)!
