I am a dedicated chess coach with a proven track record of developing both young prodigies and adult chess enthusiasts. My coaching journey is defined by the following key achievements:
🏆Danson Zhao, a 10-year-old prodigy with a 2040 USCF rating. We started working together two years ago, and he has made remarkable strides since then. One of his main goals is to become one of the youngest National Masters (NM) in the USA at the age of 11, a goal he is well on track to achieving

🏆Additionally, four of my younger students have become National Champions in their respective age categories, further demonstrating the success of my personalized coaching methods and their dedication to growth

- I have found that the most effective training regimen involves a mixture of learning foundations and practicing the lessons in a session of games. My training plans all include actionable homework and tactics puzzles and I offer both hourly and weekly package pricing. My specialty is tutoring beginners and younger students but I have several adult professional students as well.
-I offer a proven and dynamic chess training program tailored to help you improve rapidly and achieve your goals, whether you're a beginner or an advanced player. My method combines a well-structured, personalized curriculum with years of hands-on experience as a chess coach and player, ensuring results you can see and measure. From mastering fundamentals to sharpening advanced strategies, I’ve helped students boost their tournament performance, climb higher in FIDE and USCF ratings, and gain clarity in navigating the overwhelming amount of chess material available today. Whether you're just starting out or aiming to move from a 1000 to 2200 ELO range, my program is designed to unlock your potential and guide you to success.
- Many of my adult students, focused primarily on online play rather than traditional tournaments, have achieved impressive rating jumps of 200-300 points, reaching levels as high as 2200-2300. This remarkable progress highlights the power of my targeted training approach combined with their dedication to improvement.
