About
My instruction stresses fundamentals, and I have a very strong track record of success. We also strive to help our younger students stay well rounded.
I enjoy the process of bringing a player along and watching them grow. The journey is important to me, and I enjoy not only watching them learn new things about chess, but also learning how those concepts can often be applied to other, very unrelated, areas.
I get pleasure by seeing players enjoy their games when they have more fun through playing well.

Kevin provided chess instruction not only to me personally, but he went out of his way to provide feedback on the games of my high school players as well as instruction for them - both in a small group setting and individual setting. The quality of the instruction is excellent - he breaks chess down to simple to remember principles and his approach of learning through historical games (and then working your way up to modern ideas) is highly effective. He is always the first person I recommend when I am approached by my players to get individual chess coaching.

I've taken lessons from Kevn for nearly two years - he's thoroughly professional - well-prepared, clearly expert, and a patinet instructor. I'd recommend him to anyone from beginner to expert.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing depends on the strength of the play, whether lessons are individual or group, and the amount of work outside of the actual lesson time that the instructor needs to put in. Sample pricing is outlined on our website on the page about "Lessons"
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically we provide one free lesson. This provides us an opportunity to evaluate the student (and the student to evaluate us) - look for fit, and whether we believe we can work together. During that lesson we will look for key early topics to discuss - and then take things from there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have credentials from FIDE (the International Chess Federation) as a "FIDE Trainer" (their second highest coaching category) and from the U.S. Chess Federation as a "Professional Chess Coach" - their highest category. Among other things, these categories recognize that I have coached multiple teams and players to state and national championships.
I have about 40 years of coaching experience.
