About Me

I discovered chess at a young age and have had a passion for the game ever since. I studied under a former U-16 Georgian national champion (and top 10 world championship contender) in the storied tradition of Georgian chess. 

My teaching experience includes developing and teaching formal IT courses in a corporate setting and teaching robotics to elementary, middle school, and high school students in a volunteer setting – preparing students for local and state robotics competitions.

Here I combine my passion and experience to help beginners understand and enjoy the game of chess!
