Passionate 1650-rated chess coach & league organizer. I help players of all levels build confidence, improve decision-making, and make logical, winning moves—while keeping chess fun.

Andrew has an incredible ability to teach at the exact level of his audience in a way that is both encouraging and thoughtful. He has a gift for simplifying complex strategies or positions, helping players and observers alike understand how the board evolves throughout the game. At the same time, he can break down fundamentals into clear, digestible lessons that build confidence and understanding. It’s evident that he deeply respects and loves the game, and his excitement to share that passion with others is unmistakable.

Andrew and I work together, in this time he has rekindled my interest in the beautiful game that is chess. He has walked many friends and coworkers through Chess 101, and even jumping into more advanced lessons for those at that level. I recommend Andrew to anyone looking to learn about chess and get started, to even intermediate/advanced levels of 1000+. Andrew has helped me raise my elo from 500->800 while helping me sharpen different areas of the game.
