CONTACT ME
If you are interested in chess lessons, tournament preparation, game analysis, or a clear training plan, feel free to contact me.
I work with students of all levels — from complete beginners to advanced players and titled players. Every student is different, so before we start working together, I like to understand your current level, your goals, and what you want to improve.
You can contact me for 1-on-1 lessons, group lessons, or a one-time chess consultation.
1-on-1 Chess Lessons
Private lessons are the best option if you want a fully personalized training plan.
During the lessons, I use Zoom and Lichess Study, which allows us to analyze games, positions, openings, and important chess ideas in a clear and practical way.
After the lesson, I give special homework based on your weaknesses, so you can continue improving between sessions. Students can also choose the Zoom AI notes option, which can provide lesson notes and summaries after the session.
Group Chess Lessons
Group lessons are a great option if you want to improve together with other motivated players.
Students can use the same tools and structure as in 1-on-1 lessons: Zoom, Lichess Study, lesson notes, and homework. The main difference is that the training is done in a group environment.
One-Time Chess Consultation
If you are not sure what kind of training you need, you can contact me for a one-time chess consultation.
In this session, we can review your games, discuss your strengths and weaknesses, and create a clear improvement plan.

Lesson Prices
Because every student has different goals and training needs, I do not use the same coaching structure for everyone. The price depends on the lesson format, the student’s level, the type of preparation needed, and my current schedule availability.
After you contact me, I will review your situation and suggest the best training option together with the price.
Before You Contact Me
To help me understand your situation better, please include:
- Your current rating, if you have one
Chess.com, Lichess, FIDE, USCF, or national rating are all fine. - Your age group
Junior, adult, or parent asking for a child. - Your main chess goals
- What you feel is your biggest weakness
- Whether you are interested in 1-on-1 lessons, group lessons, or a consultation
You do not need to write a perfect message. Just tell me honestly where you are now and what you want to improve.
After You Send the Message
After I receive your message, I will review it and get back to you with the best option based on your level, goals, and availability. If you are not sure whether 1-on-1 lessons, group lessons, or a consultation are better for you, that is completely fine. You can simply explain your situation, and I will suggest the best next step.
