Instructor's Courses

I've been playing chess for over thirty years, and coaching for the last nine! What started as a hobby became an exciting and enjoyable job. I've worked with students from four years old through high school; from hundreds of absolute beginners to a student who won the state junior tournament. I'm excited to share some fun lessons, chess history, and silly stories with you.
