About your chess coach

I’m a passionate and experienced chess tutor with over two years of teaching experience and more than thirteen years of playing competitively. My deep understanding of strategy, openings, and endgames has helped me achieve a strong rating on Chess.com, where I continue to study and play regularly. I’ve taught students of all ages, from complete beginners to advanced players looking to refine their skills. My lessons are personalized to each student’s goals and learning style, combining tactical training, game analysis, and real-time play to create an engaging and effective experience. I emphasize not only how to make strong moves, but also how to think like a chess player — planning ahead, adapting under pressure, and learning from mistakes. My goal is to make every lesson fun, motivating, and rewarding, helping students build confidence both on and off the board while discovering the lifelong value of strategic thinking through chess.

Chess classes overview

My teaching methodology focuses on helping each student understand chess from the inside out — not just memorizing openings, but truly thinking like a chess player. Every student learns differently, so I tailor each lesson to their goals, strengths, and pace. I combine theory, tactics, and practical play in every session, using real games, puzzles, and live analysis to reinforce key ideas. I believe chess improvement comes from recognizing patterns, understanding plans, and learning from mistakes in a supportive environment. My lessons are structured yet flexible — we might spend time mastering endgames one week and studying positional strategy the next, depending on what each student needs most. I also emphasize mindset, patience, and focus, teaching students to stay calm under pressure and think ahead with confidence. Whether you’re just starting out or aiming to boost your online rating, my goal is to make every lesson motivating, challenging, and rewarding, helping you develop both your chess skills and your way of thinking strategically.
