About my playing experience and coaching experience
I have 6 years of experience teaching chess and I have taught players of many different ages and skill levels. I specialize in teaching players that are rated above 500 but I am open to working with anyone who already has basic chess skills. I can teach lessons virtually or in person, I can teach travel anywhere within New York City for those that prefer in person lessons . My only language is English. Please contact me and we can find a time that would work.
I have been an active tournament chess player for over 10 years, beginning my competitive career on February 28, 2016. In 2025, I earned the title of National Master, marking a major milestone in my development as a player.
Throughout my career, I have achieved several notable victories against International Masters and have remained consistently active in the competitive chess scene. I have been a regular player at the Marshall Chess Club since 2016, where I have won multiple tournaments across various levels—from class sections in my early years to open sections more recently
