Beyond the Board
With a lifelong passion for the 64 squares, I bring the brilliance of chess to groups across New York. My goal is to make strategy accessible, fun, and deeply rewarding.
My philosophy centers on developing critical thinking and emotional resilience through every move. We don’t just memorize patterns; we learn to navigate complexity with confidence. Every lesson is crafted to empower my students with the intellectual tools needed for both competitive chess and life's strategic challenges. Despite my relatively young age, I have hundreds of hours teaching chess individually and in small group settings. For the past two years, I have worked at an ABA center coaching chess and other after school activities.
I am certified in First Aid and CPR as well as NYS fingerprinted and background checked. My other favorite hobby is Table Tennis.
I look forward to partnering with you in your child's growth.
