I am a USCF CM level chess coach and trainer with over 15 years experience assisting students of all playing levels achieve their chess goals. I coach students from absolute beginner to A Class and beyond. I play 1.e4 and have an aggressive attacking style, and so I will teach you how to obtain and to exploit the advantage from move 1. Gambits, sacrifices and King assaults are my specialty, so if you are looking for exciting chess then you are in the right place. Using proven training methods, I will improve your knowledge in Strategy, Openings, Middlegame, Endgame, Positional Elements, and Tactics. We will train your essential skills such as Calculation, Psychology, and Time Management. These are just a few of the things we will explore and learn. By playing games, and doing the assigned exercises between sessions, you will gain valuable experience and improve your skills. I'm looking forward to assisting you on the road to mastery of our ancient, amazing and beautiful game! *** Before taking sessions, please be advised that chess is inherently difficult. These customized training sessions are designed for dedicated, serious students of ANY level who are looking to reach a high level of chess excellence, AND who are willing to devote the time between sessions to do the assigned work, which is a couple of hours per week minimum. If you are just curious about chess, but not sure if you can put in the time and effort required to improve, then these sessions are not for you. ***

Jerry did a phenomenal job of teaching me the game of chess and growing my game. Jerry is professional, punctual and patient. He has a great command of chess and does an exceptional job of build your foundation of understanding with a goal of mastery. He is readily available to answer all questions and makes the learning an engaging endeavor for the learner. I highly recommend Jerry for any student of chess, no matter the level of understanding. Jerry is awesome.
Great
Jerry is great instructor! Super knowledgeable about all aspects of chess and is super good at breaking things down to improve your fundamental understanding of the game. I've only been taking lessons for three weeks and my rating has already gone up several hundred points. Lessons are often broken down into theory and calculation training which has solidified my opening repertoire and my tactical vision!
