With my professional student coaching training, I offer a personalized development plan for each of my students. 📍 Face-to-face lessons in Leuven and surrounding areas (language of instruction: Turkish) 🌍 Online one-on-one lessons with students in Türkiye Chess greatly contributes to both the intellectual development and concentration skills of children.

From beginner to 1500+: targeted chess coaching by a 2000+ chess.com rapid player.

From beginner to 1500+: targeted chess coaching by a 2000+ chess.com rapid player.

Take your chess game to the next level. Do you no longer want to just make moves, but understand why a move works? Are you stuck at a certain rating level, or do you want to make fewer blunders and sit at the board with more confidence? As an active 2000+ Rapid player on Chess.com, I help beginners and intermediate players (0 – 1600 rating) improve their game, using tips that have helped me tremendously as well. No dry book knowledge or endless theoretical variations, but practical insights that you can apply directly to your own games. What can you expect from the lessons? We start by determining your current level, then we move on to various aspects of the game. In-depth game analysis: We analyze your own (lost) games on Chess.com or Lichess. We identify your recurring mistakes and turn them into learning opportunities. Tactics & Board Vision: Learn to recognize patterns faster, avoid recurring blunders, and capitalize on the tactical opportunities your opponent misses. Middlegame & Positional Play: Understand how to make a plan when there is no direct tactic. Learn to work with bishop pairs, open lines, and weak squares. Handy opening repertoire: No need to memorize dozens of moves, but understand the core ideas and plans behind your favorite openings. Who is this lesson suitable for? Beginners (0 - 1000): You know the rules and the basics, but want to build a solid foundation without drowning in complicated theory. Intermediate (1000 - 1600): You play online regularly, but feel stuck at a rating ceiling and want to progress. About me: I only started playing chess myself at the age of 14 or 15 and quickly developed a passion for the board game. Since then, I have immersed myself in it and achieved an active Chess.com Rapid rating of 2050, placing me in the top 0.2% of the platform. I know from personal experience what it is like to break through the various rating barriers. My approach is patient, accessible, and fully tailored to your personal learning goals. If you are interested, you can always send me a message/email, hopefully see you soon :)

International Chess Master – Tailor-made training for effective and lasting progress

International Chess Master – Tailor-made training for effective and lasting progress

Every player is different. Some are discovering chess, others wish to take their game to the next level, gain Elo points or prepare for a competition. My work begins with an essential step: understanding your game. I analyze your thought processes, how you select potential moves, calculate, manage your time, and make decisions. I also identify your strengths, weaknesses, and the goals you wish to achieve. Based on this analysis, we build a training program that truly suits you. ◆ Why are some players stagnating? Resources for improvement have never been so plentiful: videos, gaming platforms, tactical exercises, databases, analysis engines... However, having access to more information does not always mean making better progress. Watching videos can be instructive, but it often remains a passive activity: understanding an explanation is very different from being able to find the right idea yourself in front of the chessboard. Many players prefer fast paces, whereas taking more time to think during games is often essential for improvement. After the game, they check their accuracy rate, browse the variants offered by the engine and identify their mistakes... without always understanding why they made them. An engine can tell you the best move, but it doesn't teach you how to find it yourself. That's the whole difference between knowing the answer and learning how to think. To make lasting progress, you need to go beyond simply acknowledging the mistake: understand why it happened and what needs to change in your way of thinking. This is precisely where the personalized support of a coach becomes truly meaningful. ◆ A method built around your game The first sessions are mainly devoted to analyzing your games. I'm not just looking for shots that could have been better. I'm trying to understand what led you to play them. What did you see in the position? What did you consider? What did you rule out? This analysis helps to identify recurring patterns in your game and to establish precise priorities. We then build your training program based on your level, your goals and the time you can dedicate to chess. Depending on your needs, we will work in particular on: ● Openings and game plans ● Tactics and calculation methods ● Positional strategy and understanding ● Essential Finals ● In-depth analysis of your games ● Competition preparation ● Time management, self-confidence and mental preparation I always prioritize understanding over rote learning. My goal is not simply to show you what to play, but to pass on the methods that will gradually allow you to find the right ideas on your own. I support beginners who want to acquire a good foundation, as well as club players, competitors and online players of all levels. ◆ Concrete results Here are some recent results obtained by my students: ➤ 800 → 1600 Elo on Chess.com after a year and a half of lessons for an adult player. ➤ 1650 → 2000 Elo FIDE after about fifteen hours of lessons for a 16-year-old student. ➤ First FIDE Elo above 1950 after a year of work for a previously unrated student. ➤ 1600 → 2000 FIDE Elo in two years for a young player who became Champion of Paris in his category. ➤ 1600 → 2380 Elo on Chess.com in 15-minute games after a year of lessons at a rate of 3 hours per week for an adult player. These results naturally depend on the starting level, regularity and investment of each student. Their testimonials will give you an idea of the progress made and the atmosphere in which the sessions take place. ◆ Children's classes My approach is tailored to their age, level, and ability to concentrate. The joy of playing and the desire to learn remain essential. Through exercises and educational games, they gradually learn to think better, anticipate, and make their own decisions at the chessboard. ◆ Videoconference classes Video conferencing is particularly well-suited to teaching chess. Thanks to screen sharing, we can analyze your games, study positions together, work on your openings, compare different ideas and perform exercises in real time. After each session, I will send you the materials used so that you can review the concepts studied and continue your work between classes. ◆ Your chess project Send me a message briefly describing your level, experience, and goals. Contacting me is already taking the first step towards your progress.

“ Prashil is hands down the best teacher my son has ever had the pleasure of learning from. He is inspiring, incredibly thoughtful, kind and genuinely talented at what he does. We started with in-person lessons and eventually moved to online sessions, and both have been fantastic. In fact, my son absolutely loves the online format! Prashil has a wonderful way of making learning engaging, enjoyable and fun, even through a screen. Since starting lessons with Prashil, I’ve seen a real difference in my son’s confidence, both in his learning and at school. It’s so much more than just academic progress. Prashil really knows how to bring out the best in a child. I couldn’t recommend him more highly! ”

“ Madara is absolutely fantastic! An excellent tutor! She is very calm and explains things in a very simple and structured way. In addition, she is very nice and very patient. I booked 60 minutes for SPSS and was so happy with her that I booked additional classes. With just the first class I got more than what I expected! ”
