Lessons Built Around the Student
Never played before? You do not need to know notation, openings, or tournament rules. Kids and adults are welcome, including stronger players.
Beginners
Start with how the pieces move. Many of my students began with no experience, and questions are always welcome.
Developing Players
Build stronger tactical awareness, calculate more accurately, and use opening principles with confidence.
Tournament Players
Review your games in depth, prepare for upcoming events, and build practical plans for tournament positions.
