I always start by getting to know my student, their goals in chess, and their personal motivation for playing chess. My coaching philosophy is centered around the belief that passion drives progress. Keeping my students' passion strong will always be my priority.
Working with my students, we will reassess their chess through analysis, and together make a personalized training plan, tailored to the needs of each student, which will push them to the next level.
Sharing my knowledge and watching students grow is extremely rewarding to me - and I am committed to working hard with every student to improve their game and grow their love for chess.

Ethan was our chess captain for four years in high school. He helped many players improve their game and led the team to a state championship. He is a great coach.

I have been playing chess with Ethan since dating back to elementary school. He is one of the strongest players I personally know. He has explained many chess chess concepts to me over the years, so I can personally verify that he is extremely calm and patient, very knoledgeable about chess; I would categorize Ethan as an opening expert because he knows a little bit of everything and a lot about his personal openings, patient, and respectful.
Ethan brings a very understandable approach to coaching given that he has worked on his game a lot. Ethan has learned from some of the best coaches in the US and will bring that knowledge and energetic approach to his lessons.
