"I am passionate about teaching all aspects of our beautiful game of chess, from mastering the Opening, navigating the Middlegame, and excelling in the Endgame. I have years of experience instructing students at various skill levels. I love guiding complete beginners toward a solid foundation, as well as aiding more advanced players in refining their techniques and understanding.

I currently serve as the coach of a successful high school chess team, having previously led them to victory in the Idaho State team chess championship. As President of my college's chess club, I've been tutoring students for several years, sharing my love for the game. I love to compete in tournaments across the country. I have an Expert rating of over 2200 online, and have beaten FM's, NM's and other titled players. I have competed over-the-board against many 2000+ rated opponents.

I would love to help you improve your chess understanding and skills. Feel free to contact me with any questions, or to schedule chess tutoring lessons." less...
