Details

First Lesson (Online) - 30 mins ($15): I offer a first initial assessment lesson. During the lesson we will discuss your goals, interest in chess and your previous experience (if any). After I have a good understanding of what you are hoping to get out of private lessons, if there is time, we will either review your recent games, play a practice game or go over relevant puzzles. By the end of our first lesson, you'll have a clear understanding of what to expect from private lessons and how we can work together to help you reach your goals.

Online Lessons - 30 mins ($29) or 1 hour ($49): My online private lessons are structured similarly to in-person lessons. We will either play a practice game, do relevant puzzles and/or go over your previous games which will allow me to understand your thought process and provide guided game analysis. I will also sometimes assign homework puzzles so you can continue to study between lessons.

In-person Lessons - 30 mins ($34) or 1 hour ($54): My In-person chess lessons are a great way to get some experience playing over the board. The lessons will be tailored to your individual goals and the areas where your chess can use improvement. We'll often review your past games together. Alternatively we will play a practice game, look at other relevant positions or do puzzles that align with your improvement-areas. I will also sometimes assign homework puzzles so you can continue to study between lessons.

Most in-person lessons take place on Sundays at a location in SE Portland with some exceptions. Reach out to me for details on in-person lessons - (concealed information)
