Start Your Journey Today!

All progress starts with that first step! However, there are many paths to your goals!

Group Classes - Groups of 8 or more children is $70 per hour with a 15-20 minute lesson and then 40-45 minute supervised play.. Groups over 16 or more children would run $100 per hour with a 15-20 minute lesson and then 40-45 minute supervised play.
 
Private Lessons - Start at $40 per hour. A second child or adult is an additional $10 for the hour. Subject matter for the lesson will range from full lesson time to full game experience. Games will be critiqued.

Coaching - Start at $40 per hour. Coaching time is subject to current topics in individual program. Critiques and play sessions along with homework assignments are to be expected. During tournaments, I can be available for game and motivation discussion between rounds.
 
Online Sessions - One-on-one sessions online start at $30 per hour and require an internet connection and a computer system that has one of the common meeting softwares available for use. (I have used Zoom and Skype most frequently). This is usually NOT recommended for young students (ages 4-7) due to attention span issues. More than 1 student would need to be evaluated for approach and duration per student and will cost an additional $10 per student over 1. Group online sessions are possible and can be discussed and priced on a case by case basis.

Online Video Tools - We have (and will continue to develop online video series focused on specific parts of game instruction (Basics, Beyond the Basics, Tactics, etc). A series consists of 6-10 videos and are priced according to content and video time. Please see our videos page for specifics.
 
Game Critiques - Analysis and discussion of a particular student's game. This service is $50 for 1 game, $75 for a pair. After submission, game will be analyzed and a session scheduled for discussion of the results and recommendations for further study and improvement.
