About Me

When I was 26 years old, I became passionate about learning chess. Since 2018, I have spent countless hours studying famous games, solving puzzles, and learning the core strategical motifs of the royal game. I decided I would devote the rest of my life to learn everything there is to know about chess and pass on my lessons to others. 

​​

I am a firm believer that anyone can achieve impressive chess goals with the right attitude and methods.

My Teaching Philosophy

Unmatched Expertise

Build Strong Fundamentals Early

The best players don’t just know what to do — they understand why. I focus on clear explanations of core ideas like piece activity, center control, and king safety that you’ll use in every game.

Engagement

Improvement comes from steady momentum. I will keep things motivating, efficient, and low-pressure — so you keep improving without burning out.

Personalized Guidance

Most players between 400–1200 USCF plateau because of recurring mistakes. I’ll help you identify your blind spots and develop habits that replace guesswork with confidence.

Train Your Mindset, Not Just Your Moves

Chess is emotional. I help students understand how focus, nerves, and confidence affect your play — and how to stay calm, bounce back from mistakes, and think clearly under pressure.

Passion That Drives Progress

My goal is to spark excitement and curiosity for the game.   — because when you’re genuinely curious and inspired, learning becomes faster, deeper, and more fun.
