Common Questions

  • The advantage of private coaching is that you get coaching, guides, and support, all tailored to your exact needs.

    I’ve coached hundreds of learners since 2019 and most started with doubts, fears, and lots of confusion- but it’s amazing how with a bit of effort, that melts away and gives way to confidence as they grow their skills and realize what they’re capable of.

  • Of course.

    If you put in the work, do the recommendations, and don’t break through 1000, we will work with you for free until you do.

  • It’s more relaxed.

    Chess should be fun, social, and enjoyable.

    A tense, stressful space is not a great learning environment.

    We want you to smile and have a positive growing experience.

    That said, we adhere to official chess rules so you progress knowing how great chess is played around the world.

  • All good! That’s why we’re here! To learn. I don’t judge where anyone is at in their chess journey.

    I’m here to encourage your growth.

    That said, don’t put yourself down too much. You may be surprised how far you can go with the right support.

  • Within 2 weeks you’ll already have started to see significant chess results in your opening and ability to win more games.

    We’ll build on this momentum as you rise to a 1000 rating.

    I use a simple session schedule that reinforces what you’ve already learned and builds on it with action-based lessons, so that you don’t just get more information, but leave with real skills you can use in your games.

  • The people I help don’t generally want to become a chess Grandmaster.

    They want to have fun, be challenged, and connect with other players.

    With this in mind, plan on practicing about 30 minutes a day, 3-4 days a week.

More than knowledge.

This is not just information- you can get that anywhere.

This is the hands-on guidance, support, and respectful accountability that actually encourages you to see your potential and build the habits that will make you a strong chess player.
