Learn with Linke
After thirteen years of teaching seventh grade literature and composition at Crestwood Middle School in Chesapeake, Virginia, the COVID lockdowns of 2020 brought a transition to coaching chess, teaching photography, and encouraging creativity through role playing games.
While I primarily teach kids on Outschool, I occasionally run in-person sessions for adults in the Baltimore / Frederick region.
I'm licensed to teach English Language Arts in both Virginia and Maryland.
Chess Coach
I've been a professional chess coach for five years, working primarily on Outschool and with a few adult clients via zoom and in-person lessons. Prior to beginning my coaching career I sponsored the chess club at Crestwood Middle School in Chesapeake, Virginia for nearly a decade.
I'm currently in the process of writing a comprehensive chess curriculum. This will likely take a few years, but feel free to follow the process on my chess blog.
