• Recent college grad with 3 years of chess tutoring experience, both virtual and in-person. • I have played chess for 10 years, and maintain 2000+ Blitz and Rapid ratings on Lichess.com.

Sam has been tutoring me in chess for 8+ years. He’s a very accomplished player, but has an approach to teaching that is accessible for people of all skill levels. His approach is not prescriptive or formulaic — he’s very good at walking you through parallel scenarios and helping you weigh the pros and cons of each. In addition to being a great teacher, he’s also very fun to be around! I’d highly recommend him as a tutor for people of all ages and abilities..

I have known Samuel for over a decade, and in those years I have known him to be nothing but compassionate and morally sound. He founded and ran our school's chess club in high school, doing so with a natural sense of leadership and an expert tutoring technique. He has personally seen to my own chess knowledge improving a great deal, and I believe he can do the same for practically any beginner to intermediate player.
