About KELLEN

Learn Chess from a 2000-Rated Player Who's Taught Hundreds of at Dozens of Schools Across the Bay Area.

Chess is more than a game — it's a discipline that rewards curiosity for a lifetime. As a 2000-rated player and lifelong student of chess and philosophy I bring more than just technique to the board: I bring a genuine love of the game and what it teaches.

I've taught hundreds of students at dozens of schools throughout the Bay Area, helping kids and adults alike build not just stronger openings and sharper tactics, but real confidence and discipline that carries beyond just the 64 squares of a chess board.

Whether you're a parent looking to give your child a head start, or an adult ready to finally understand the game you love, I'll meet you where you are and help you progress — the same way I have for hundreds of students before you.

About the lesson

What a Lesson With Me Looks Like

Every session is one-on-one, built entirely around you. We move at your pace, focusing on whatever matters most for your development: openings, tactics, endgames, full game review, or tournament preparation and day-of support when you need it most.

If you've felt stuck in your chess, or you're ready for a level of challenge group lessons just can't offer, this is where real progress happens. You'll be working directly with a top 1% player, getting the kind of individual attention and honest feedback that moves your game forward.

I've coached players ranging from age 4 to 65. From first-time learners to competitive tournament players, so wherever you're starting from, I will meet you there and build a plan that fits.
