About your chess coach

Hello, I'm Derick. I am excited to begin tutoring you in English and the world of Chess. I have been an online teacher for the past ten years. I love meeting learners from all over the world. I enjoy games too, and Chess is the ultimate tactical game. There are many different openings, mid-game, and end-game strategies one can learn and analyze. I look forward to helping you find what works best for you, and level up your Chess skill together. Whether you are just starting to learn the basics, or already have a decent skill level, let's dive in and see how we can help you improve. Who knows, you might even be the next Magnus Carlsen. My main expertise is English ESL teaching. If that is something you also wish to improve, then you have definitely come to the right teacher. I thoroughly enjoy games too, whether that be video games, sports, or a fun and competitive game of blitz chess with a friend, I'm always up for a game. Some of my other interests involve going to gym - I try to hit a workout at least 5 times per week. I also have a beautiful dog who is a central part of my life. We love going for walks, playing fetch, and of course long afternoon naps! Lastly, one of my favorite foods is a good old fashoned barbecue. I enjoy steak, chicken, or even pork on the bbq. Let's meet up for a fun session today!
