The Modern Poker Study Landscape Is Overwhelming.
Letâs turn confusion into clarity with a structured, efficient learning plan designed for real progress.Â
Poker is a complex game of skill, psychology, and precision. At times, it can feel overwhelming.I help dedicated players cut through the noise, make sense of advanced strategies, and build the skills needed to think critically at the table. With a background in linguistics and years of experience as both a professional player and educator, I bridge the gap between theory and execution - helping you study smarter, make clearer decisions, and play with purpose.
Not sure what strategies to study?
Struggling to interpret your results?
Losing confidence after good decisions donât pay off?
Thatâs where I come in.
1-On-1 Poker Coaching
Less Overwhelm. More Understanding.
Poker can feel like an endless maze of variables - odds, positions, ranges, and player types. You study and play for hours, only to find yourself second-guessing every decision when it counts. The truth is, being a great player doesnât automatically make you a great learner.
A personal poker coach helps you identify blind spots, simplify complex decisions, and build confidence in your strategic thinking. My method blends psychology, structure, and harnessing technology to help players finally move beyond âknowing the theoryâ to executing it with consistency.

The Best 1 On 1 Poker Coaching
I believe every player has their own unique way of processing information. My coaching style is built on the understanding that learning poker is a deeply individual journey, especially for those who are neurodiverse or learn best through curiosity and pattern recognition.
I pride myself on making extremely complex concepts accessible and interesting for learners, without talking down to them. I make an effort to let them know that I understand how difficult and frustrating it can be to study one of the most complex games ever created by human beings.
