About your chess coach
Hi! I’m Tom, a passionate chess tutor, with over 4 years of experience, with a deep love for the game and a commitment to helping others improve. As a result of studying chess for years and as an active player, I combine practical experience with a structured, student-centered teaching approach. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate player or advanced player looking to advance, both kids or adults, I’ll guide you through key concepts, tactical exercises, and strategic thinking. Together, we’ll explore tactics, strategy and practical play in all phases of the game. Through my experience in teaching and chess tournament activity I know how important game preparation and post-game analysis is to improve your chess. I can help you prepare for specific games or we can go over games to see why games got lost. So let’s work together to unlock your chess potential!

Chess classes overview
My teaching methodology focuses on building a strong foundation while fostering critical thinking and practical skills. We start by assessing your current level and identifying areas of improvement. Lessons are tailored to your needs, covering key concepts like openings, middlegame strategy, and endgame techniques. I emphasize interactive learning through puzzles, guided games, and analysis of classic matches. After each lesson, we reflect on progress and set goals, ensuring consistent improvement and a deeper understanding of chess. Additionally, I believe in the importance of game preparation and post game analysis. Before a game, we work on opening preparation, strategic planning, and mindset techniques. Afterward, we conduct thorough analyses to understand critical moments and learn from mistakes. Let’s enhance your game together!
