I always start by getting to know my student, their goals in chess, and their personal motivation for playing chess. My coaching philosophy is centered around the belief that passion drives progress. Keeping my students' passion strong will always be my priority.
Working with my students, we will reassess their chess through analysis, and together make a personalized training plan, tailored to the needs of each student, which will push them to the next level.
Sharing my knowledge and watching students grow is extremely rewarding to me - and I am committed to working hard with every student to improve their game and grow their love for chess.

I highly recommend Ethan as a chess instructor. He has been a tremendous influence on my son’s progress, and I am confident he will bring the same dedication and skill to other students.
Ethan is not only an incredible chess player, but teacher as well. He manages to utilize and transform his own personal skill and knowledge into manageable yet comprehensive lessons and tutoring. He is a kind, patient, and fun tutor, and I would highly recommend him to players of all levels.
Ethan was our chess captain for four years in high school. He helped many players improve their game and led the team to a state championship. He is a great coach.
I worked with Ethan at my school’s chess club. He’s very knowledgeable and more importantly knows how to give advice in a way that doesn’t make you feel substandard. I recommend Ethan as he is a great teacher and a fun presence to be around.
I have been playing chess with Ethan since dating back to elementary school. He is one of the strongest players I personally know. He has explained many chess chess concepts to me over the years, so I can personally verify that he is extremely calm and patient, very knoledgeable about chess; I would categorize Ethan as an opening expert because he knows a little bit of everything and a lot about his personal openings, patient, and respectful.
Ethan brings a very understandable approach to coaching given that he has worked on his game a lot. Ethan has learned from some of the best coaches in the US and will bring that knowledge and energetic approach to his lessons.
Ethan is a fun, engaging, and skilled chess teacher who makes learning exciting while building confidence, strategy, and passion in every student. Highly recommended!
Ethan is great around kids, and his students love him. He is a fantastic chess teacher.
