Notes:

  • All times are Pacific time zone. Indeed, most of my students live in Northern California.
  • This schedule is only for long-term private classes. Each student has a weekly time slot with longer sessions reserved for advanced students.
  • As an established master, I prefer to teach higher rated and older students (minimum 1000 USCF and in 4th grade). Much of experience is coaching ages 10 to 15 and ratings 1200 to 2000 USCF.
  • Due to long-term health issues, I only accept a limited number of pupils (no more than 2 per day). This limits me to about 12 students at a time. Honestly, I would love to teach more...
  • I am available from 2:00 to 9:00 PM on most days, with occasional exceptions.
  • In general, a window of an hour is reserved each weekday for dinner and family.
  • I discourage weekend time slots because of the frequency of conflicts (both chess and non-chess events). However, I tend to be available when I have no other plans.
  • I expect students to be punctual. Students should plan to log in at least five (5) minutes early.
  • If you cannot attend, please let me know. As a courtesy, 24 hours notice is appreciated. However, late notice is better than none at all. I strive to follow the same courtesy.
  • Unfortunately, I am out of country for two months in the fall. Scheduling lessons is difficult due to 9 hour time difference, but I maintain email contact and will gladly comment on games played.
  • This schedule may change due to non-chess commitments of students. Most changes come at the start and end of summer vacation and in January. Your flexibility is appreciated.
