Chess lessons for children, teens and adults | Adapted teaching methods, tactics and strategy [ONLINE and at home]

Chess lessons for children, teens and adults | Adapted teaching methods, tactics and strategy [ONLINE and at home]

Chess has been a part of my life since I was 7 years old. I grew up with this game, participated in many competitions and, over time, I discovered one thing above all: I love sharing it. Today, I want to pass on this passion to those who wish to discover chess or simply become better, whether they are children, teenagers or adults. For children, my primary goal is for chess to remain enjoyable. Through the game, I help them learn to concentrate, take time to think before acting, anticipate, and better manage their emotions and impulsiveness. I adapt to their personality and pace, including when a child struggles to maintain focus for extended periods. For teenagers, the focus is more on progression: understanding their mistakes, developing their tactical reflexes, learning to build a plan and, for those who wish, increasing their Elo rating on Chess.com. For adults: whether you are starting from scratch or already play regularly, we can work together on your weaknesses, your games and your goals to allow you to progress while having more fun playing. I am a patient, smiling, and passionate person. I prefer a lesson where we exchange ideas, where the student reflects and searches for themselves, rather than a lesson where we simply recite variations. My goal is for you to finish each session having learned something... and with the desire to play again.

A Laboratory Technician & Former Senior Mathematics Teacher liked what I was doing - and noted I was the only teacher at the school she saw using my method ! The Head of Science wanted its success for her own children ! The Head of Physics wanted its success for his own children ! The school cleaners liked and agreed strongly with what I was doing ! Children kept clapping hands for me in different classes ! The most dangerous [ latent murderer ] boy, Will, was transformed by my 6th day ! His rebellious classmate, Jackson, was transformed by the 5th day ! From my 1st day to my 6th last day teaching at the school as a Supply Teacher, children kept calling out in the Playgrounds, " Hello, Mr ! " That week I was helped by 72 million pastors & members of Christ Embassy praying from 6am for the children of the world and the Lord Jesus Christ answered miraculously our prayers. 92% Mathematics - By A Girl NOT In Top Sets - ca 7 Lessons ONLY ! In just 6 months of Home Tuition, 7 A, A, A, A, A, A & A* - BY A LOWEST SET Cardiff High School GCSE BOY ! 100% SUCCESS - with zero rejection of learning - BY DYSLEXIC CHILDREN - Since 2016 !

This lets students enjoy lessons and learn FASTER. * I use special layouts of 2s, 3s and 4s to aid the brain assimilate faster and easier. * I use special serene colours and avoid negative colours that slow the brain's cognitive processes. * I teach students which daily activities to avoid so that their brains go back to normal in 7 to 31 days - for many if they follow my advice fully. * I show school & university students a FAR EASIER & MORE EFFICIENT JAMES WAY TO DO HOMEWORK ! .... so be more than ready and well prepared BEFORE THE EXAMS if you follow my simple, easy methodology fully properly ! All because in 1987, I decided to read the Holy Bible more - and my wife prays for my students ! The Lord Jesus Christ is the One Who has taught me to teach in EXCELLENT WAYS ! MANY Subjects ! It was not by my 3 universities. The best Teachers' Training College at the time , Sir Robert Black College Of Education, where I obtained a Certificate of Special Education trained in some ways like what God Almighty gave me through The Holy Bible. If it had not been for the Lord Jesus, I would have been like all the other teachers - and would not have achieved dynamic top results for pupils who followed my methods fully properly.

Now, I find great joy in sharing the intricacies and beauty of chess with my students, and helping them to develop their own strategies and techniques.

Beginner chess lessons at 1800 elo at home or by webcam

Beginner chess lessons at 1800 elo at home or by webcam

I propose to give lessons from beginner level up to 1800 level, for all ages (from 6 or 7 years old) and whatever your goal (beat a friend, his dad or become a competitor) . I have particularly a very good contact with children and teenagers. The idea is to learn without worrying, in complete relaxation. Course schedule: The lessons take place by Skype, via the sharing of my screen (and the diagrams that I select). Sometimes we will have to do some exercises on Liches to make sure that the concepts have been understood. The Internet has the advantage of efficiency, the diagrams being already ready, it even goes faster than live and I could see that this support does not prevent the creation of human links. However, for the students of the Orleans conurbation, I can with great pleasure welcome you to my home. All my lessons are prepared with great care and are truly individualized. On each theme, the lessons are therefore adapted to the level and objectives of the student. Depending on the wishes of the students as well as their strengths and weaknesses, I propose to address the following aspects: - The openings : I make sure that my students have acquired the essential principles of openness (rapid development, takeover of the center, securing the king). Then, after studying the student's play style (rather positional or more attacking), we build, adapt or deepen his repertoire of openings. The idea is as much to understand the spirit of an opening as to know long variants by heart. After learning the theoretical basics, we will see the games played by the best players practicing your favorite openings of my student. - Party backgrounds: It is mainly about building plans. A chess player should think of himself as the general of an army. And no general shows up on the battlefield without a well-established plan, under penalty of stinging defeat! For this, we can also look at the different schemas and attacks of the opponent's weaknesses (weaknesses of the king or weakness of the pawn structure). Beyond the tactical sacrifices immediately winning the game, we may also be led to see when to sacrifice equipment to develop a sustainable initiative. We will also sometimes have to study some recurring pawn structures in the openings made by my students and how to maneuver based on that. - The finals It is sometimes a bit tedious but it is an essential factor of progression. The Russians, who dominated chess for decades, used to start by studying the finals. It is rather what I recommend. This is all the more essential since very often at the end of the game, time is short and fatigue begins to be felt. Knowledge of the most classic final patterns therefore allows you to earn many half points. - Analysis of your games Learning from mistakes is a great way to progress. We will therefore engage in this exercise whenever necessary. - Training plan Often when you want to progress you don't know where to start. I therefore propose an hour or two of lessons devoted to how to maximize the time spent studying chess. - Psychological aspects of the game How to rebound after a defeat? How not to ignite too much after a series of victories? How to manage the pressure of competition? How to manage your time in the different cadences? How to prepare against an adversary that we know and that scares us? Here are some of the questions that this module will answer (non-exhaustive list). Do not hesitate to contact me, I am at your disposal for more information!

“ Arman has been teaching chess to my 6-year old son for about 2 months now. My boy started with hardly any knowledge of the game. Thanks to Arman he now thoroughly enjoys playing chess. Arman is a great teacher: patient but firm - with exactly the right combination of theory (e.g. puzzles, openings etc.) and practice (via Lichess). I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Arman as a chess teacher. ”

“ I bought a chess lesson with Leonardo for my friend's birthday present and this is what he said after their time together: "Leo was an absolute sweetie! After assessing my skill level (read: forking my king and rook in 6 moves) he took me through some theory and openings, then we focused on my endgame which is my biggest weakness." Thank you Leonardo :) ”

“ Ashish is not just a a good chess player, he's a good teacher too. He analyses my games in-depth and gives clear and constructive feedback. He helps me understand strategy, tactics and offers a relaxed and judgement free atmosphere. I have loved my lessons with him and genuinely always looked forward to them. Highly recommend! ”
