Hi! I am an HR professional and a Chess player, having been involved with the game for over 2 decades as a chess player and chess content creator.

My ratings on Chess.com and Lichess are approx. 1900. I can help you with a thorough orientation you would need as a beginner. While training, I mainly rely on tactics, practice games, analysis of games and opening theory. I am of course open to discussing any specific queries you may have in order to sharpen your game.

I can work towards a specific goal with you, for e.g. endgame skills, preparation for a tournament etc.

Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame.

The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation.

Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress.

I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.

I offer both online and face-to-face training. For online training we can use Discord, Skype or Zoom.

The training is adapted to the needs of the student. During the lessons, we work together to identify the student's weaknesses and work specifically on them.
I was first introduced to chess at the age of 5. At 17 I joined the Düsseldorf Chess Club and at 18 I headed a primary school chess club.
I have a Chess.com online Rapid Rating of around 1650, which puts me in the top 2% of rapid chess players on Chess.com.
I use a large part of my free time to improve my chess skills by working through books, solving problems, playing games, analyzing them extensively and exchanging ideas with other players.

If you're stuck around 1200–1800 level or wish to simply get better, it can feel kinda messy figuring out openings, tactics, positions, and endgames on your own.
I'm a 2000 FIDE-rated coach who's helped kids at youth championships for years, and I got trained on how to actually teach by one of Europe's best coaches. So I've put together these sessions to make things practical and straightforward.

We'll work on building a clear way to think during games, spotting tactics fast, getting key ideas like pawn structure and piece play, reviewing your own games to fix mistakes, and setting up solid openings and endgames that actually win you games. The experience will be tailored to you based on how much you wish to learn and whether youre a casual online enjoyer or wish to become more competitive in tournaments.
It's all about having more fun, making fewer dumb blunders, winning more games, and just enjoying chess more.

Hello,
I am an Electrical and Electronics Engineer and currently work as an automation engineer in the Czech Republic. I have completed my master’s degree and am currently pursuing my PhD. Throughout my academic and professional career, I have specialised in control systems and autonomous vehicles. Through this work, I have developed a strong foundation in analytical thinking, problem-solving and mathematical modelling.

My connection with mathematics extends beyond my academic life; during my university years, I also tutored privately, supporting many students. During this time, I observed that every student’s learning pace and needs are different. For this reason, I take care to adopt a teaching style that is tailored to the student’s level, clear, and patient.

My aim is to transform mathematics from a subject to be memorised into a field where the logic is understandable and can be enjoyed. I wish to support students with their schoolwork and help them build confidence during the exam preparation process.

I would be delighted to assist students who wish to build a solid foundation in mathematics through a disciplined, explanatory and student-centred teaching approach.

I study mathematics with the current physics curriculum at the Technical University of Berlin and am currently exploring the abstract phase of my studies. I received the Goethe-Zertifikat C2 GDS certificate in Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking directly in Berlin in January 2023. I am proficient in German, mathematics, and diagrams with a structured, analytical, and ergonomic approach. Additionally, I hold the Royal Diploma for Chess Teachers, which I obtained from the Chess Association of Berlin in July 2024. My Chess.com ratings since Bullet 2028, Blitz 2000, and Rapid 2007, with an initial score of 2125 in Bullet, demonstrate that I have a strong student (approximately 2100+) who is proficient in both. I pass the Unterricht an die Bedürfnisse der Deutschen Schüler and, mit besondeem Fokus auf Klarheit, Disziplin et strategisches Denken. All the certificates you have are ready to be used. R.J.
