Coaching for all levels by an experienced teacher (over 100 students coached)Translate this text using Google Translate.

My name is Daniil, and chess has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. Passionate about this fascinating game since childhood, I've played hundreds of competitions and won dozens of youth and adult tournaments. For the past 10 years, I have been sharing my passion for chess as a teacher in various settings: clubs, primary schools, secondary schools, private lessons, and associations. I also teach in English and Russian. Furthermore, I graduated from the Sorbonne with a Masters in international strategy and business intelligence. Some figures to know me better: • 10 years of experience in teaching chess • 20 years of experience in club and competition • Official 1900 FIDE / 2400 Elo rating on online platforms • More than 2,500 courses given to 1,000 students in group and individual lessons Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, my lessons are designed to help you progress quickly while having fun playing. My method is based on solid teaching experience and relies on a comprehensive and structured approach, suitable for all levels. It is based on three main axes: 1. Learning the fundamentals: Learn or consolidate the essential principles in the opening, middlegame and endgames. 2. Tactics and strategy: develop your sense of the game with targeted, fun and practical exercises. 3. Analyze your games: Understand your mistakes, identify your strengths, and apply this knowledge in your games. My goal is to offer you a clear and complete vision of the game, to progress effectively and achieve your goals, whether it is to play for pleasure or in competition.

English Lessons: General English, Conversational Fluency, Business/Legal/Academic English (Online & In-Person)Translate this text using Google Translate.

Hello, my name is Dauirzhan! And I know the struggles or learning a new language. So, let me help you overcome them. These one-on-one English lessons will be tailored directly to your specific goals, level, and learning style. They are taught by me: a Cambridge CELTA-certified teacher with degrees in Law and International Relations, and we will focus on building real practical communication skills rather than repeating passive textbook drills. Whether you need to gain confidence in conversational English, master professional terminology for corporate work, or score higher on the IELTS exam, every session is designed around active practice and clear progress. Learning Tracks Offered: 1) General & Conversational English: Improve fluency, polish pronunciation, and build confidence for everyday conversations, travel, or living abroad. 2) Business & Legal English (ESP): Tailored training focusing on contract terminology, high-stakes negotiations, executive email writing, and professional presentations, drawing directly on legal and international relations experience. 3) IELTS & Exam Strategy: Focused exam preparation covering speaking, writing, reading, and listening strategies (85% of previous students achieved their target scores). 4) Academic English: Writing structure, analytical reading, and presentation skills for university applications and coursework. I learnt English myself once, so I know it can be complicated and may seem impossible. However, I will help you with learning English in the smoothest atmosphere possible and of course without forgetting about efficiency.

Chess Coach & Strategy Mentor | For Kids & Beginners | Official FIDE 2001 Elo Rating & PedagogueTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Hello! I am an officially rated chess expert with an international FIDE Elo of 2001. Along with my chess background, I hold a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Athens (EKPA), specializing in Pedagogy and Psychology. My competitive career features high-level achievements, including a notable official tournament victory against Grandmaster Dimitris Alexakis and a 3-0 winning record against Grandmaster Felix Izeta Flores in online blitz matches. Reaching this standard requires rigorous analytical discipline and tactical focus—skills I transfer directly to my students to improve their calculation and mental resilience. I offer private chess lessons tailored specifically for children and beginners who want to learn the game or elevate their tactical thinking. My lessons comprehensively cover openings, endgames, and core tactical concepts, placing a heavy focus not just on raw calculation but on deep positional strategy. Using my academic background in Psychology, I focus on building a fun, supportive, and engaging learning environment. Please note that I am also a certified Classical Guitar teacher and an active music composer. If you or your child are interested, we can combine or arrange separate lessons for both Chess and Classical Guitar! Locations: At your place (Perama, Keratsini, Drapetsona, Piraeus) or online via webcam. Level: Beginners, Intermediate, and Players of all ages.

Chess Coaching for Beginners to Advanced – Strategy, Tactics & ImprovementTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Chess is much more than a game. It is a powerful tool for developing strategic thinking, concentration, creativity, and decision-making skills that are useful both on the board and in everyday life. In my lessons, I focus not only on teaching the rules and theory of chess, but on helping students understand the logic behind every move. We work on improving calculation, pattern recognition, positional understanding, and practical decision-making during real games. My goal is to help students think independently and confidently at the board. Lessons are adapted to the level and goals of each student. Beginners will learn the fundamentals of the game, including piece movement, basic tactics, checkmates, and essential strategic ideas. Intermediate players will improve their tactical vision, positional play, opening understanding, and endgame technique. Advanced players will work on deep analysis, complex strategic plans, tournament preparation, and psychological aspects of competitive chess. During the lessons we analyze games, solve instructive positions, practice tactical puzzles, and play training games with detailed feedback. I also teach students how to analyze their own games — one of the most important skills for long-term improvement. My teaching style is structured, supportive, and interactive. I believe chess should be both intellectually challenging and enjoyable, and I always try to create an engaging learning atmosphere for my students. I am the founder of the YesChess Chess School, where our international team currently trains around 300 students from 35 countries around the world.
