What are your chess goals? Let's delve into your strengths and weaknesses, then come up with a concrete plan to take your game to new heights and open your mind to new possibilities...and have fun while we're at it!

My current private students range from age 4 to 82. I've taught from new beginner to expert. So basically, anything goes! I like to challenge myself and my students.

I'm located in DC. We can meet at a coffee shop, library, or your place once we know each other if you're in the DC area.

I try to make my prices as reasonable as possible, and they are very competitive compared with other master lessons in other U.S. cities.

Ask about events for an organization to help strengthen your team.

I also provide great deals for group lessons.

I am committed to making the benefits of chess accessible to all. Please see my pro bono page on how I am providing 100+ hours of free instruction to organizations serving those in need in the DC community each year. I also provide discounted lessons for some of my students for whom affordability is an issue.
