Hi, I’m a professional chess player with over 20 years of experience, twice champion of Scotland, a league winner, and a multiple-time winner of international tournaments. I’ve worked with students of all ages and skill levels — from absolute beginners to seasoned tournament players — and I always adapt my approach to the specific goals and personality of each student. For the past seven years, I’ve been working as a dedicated chess instructor. Many of my students have gone on to win tournaments themselves, and I continue coaching players from different countries, often teaching in multiple languages to support their growth. Whether you're looking to explore chess for personal development, sharpen your thinking skills, or take your game to the next level competitively, I can help. My lessons are tailored — we can focus on tournament prep, building and refining your opening repertoire, going deep into endgames, understanding positional play, or just playing with structure and purpose. I bring a method that’s not just about memorizing moves but truly understanding the game and enjoying it. No matter your age or level, there’s always a next step — and I’ll help you take it.
