Meet Coach Colin
National Master & Chess Expert
I am a U.S. Chess Federation National Master (peak rating 2259), and am ranked in the 99.9th percentile on Chess.com in Blitz Chess and Rapid Chess. I have been coaching chess for ten years. In addition to my own coaching business, I am also a Coach at the Austin Grandmaster Chess Academy in Texas.
I am a graduate of Santa Clara University, with a degree in Psychology. I recently re-located to Austin from Northern California, where I was a Fitness Coach at Stanford University and the Assistant Rowing Coach for the Santa Clara University Women's Rowing Team. I offer private lessons and group classes, both in-person in Round Rock, and online via Zoom.
I am committed to the game of chess and want to continue to share my knowledge and love of the game with my students. I will help your student work toward their goals, whether they are preparing for a tournament, or just learning and playing for fun.
