I'm starting to give private lessons to players to help them get started with tournaments or improve their national/state ranking.

I'm giving a free 45-minute training session & improvement plan to players online & in-person (near Ellenwood, GA).

If you know anyone who would be interested, please do send them here to schedule the trial session: https://calendar.app.google/4YqVir8pKWZZwyAD8

P.S. ~ If they ask, I am ranked in the top 12% of tournament players in the U.S. & I've also been teaching chess to youth groups & directing tournaments since 2016.
