QR Code Link to This Post I am currently providing Beginner chess lessons in the Jackson area. I welcome youth and adults and have experience coaching both.
While I'm not rated through FIDE, I possess the knowledge, skills, and genuine passion for the game to get anyone started and excelling. At the moment I am competing at a rating in the 1700 range on Chess.com servers.
I am a relaxed teacher who caters lessons to each individual's needs, while encouraging strategies that compliment his/her specific style of play (aggressive or passive game play).
I love to laugh and encourage you too as well. My lessons include discussions and practice of:
Center Control
King Safety
Open/Closed Games
Outposts
Opening/Mid and Endgame strategies
Pins/Skewers
Discovered attacks
Special Moves (En Passant, Castling & Promotion)
Gambits, and more
I provide in-home lessons or at a place of your choosing.
Lessons cost $30 for half an hour or $40 for a full hour. Notes and "homework" can be provided for each lesson if you like.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me and I'll contact you as soon as I'm able.
