1st Division Team Coach, 2000+ Classical Elo & 3000+ Tactical Elo

Van 66 € /h

In this session YOU WILL get EVERYTHING you need for the rest of your CHESS CARRER, with all the resources available and compiled, all organized in a document. Additionally you get a PERSONALIZED plan to consistently gain elo and win comfortably.
This works best bought once per season.

In these coaching sessions, you’ll get custom-made documents to help guide your progress, tailored to your strengths and weaknesses. I review your games, provide personalized advice, and develop strategies that match your playstyle, ensuring each session delivers maximum value.

Small Introduction and Overall Plan:

❐ I offer flexible, friendly, and tailored lessons for players of all ages and skill levels, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. My approach is all about making learning chess enjoyable. I adapt my lessons to your strengths and preferences, focusing on long-term improvement through structured, personalized coaching.

Whether you’re refining openings, sharpening tactics, or mastering endgames, I’m here to guide you. Plus, with a custom-made document tracking your progress, you’ll always know exactly what to work on outside of the sessions.

I’m easy to work with, approachable, and dedicated to helping you get stronger, one move at a time. (I’ve coached players from 5 years old to 40+ years old, so no matter your age, you’re in good hands.) With this document, your lessons will be unlike anyone else’s because it’s tailored and properly structured specifically for you.

Detailed Introduction and Specifics for the Plan:

❐ Each session is designed to give you strong foundations, practical improvement, and long-term growth, no matter your age or level. My coaching adapts to your pace and experience, making it ideal whether you're just starting or have been playing for a while.

❐ We'll begin by building an opening repertoire that fits your personal style. I won't just hand you random openings, I’ll explain the ideas behind them and show you how to use them effectively. These choices are based on your actual games, so they reflect your comfort zone and goals. At the same time, we’ll work on analyzing your games in depth. I’ll review them before our sessions and point out recurring patterns, key mistakes, and habits that may be holding you back. This allows each lesson to target exactly what will help you improve fastest.

❐ Tactics play a huge role in chess strength, so we’ll develop your calculation skills using custom positions from your own games and trusted training tools. I’ll help you build confidence in spotting patterns and making sharp decisions during critical moments. As your tactical vision grows, we’ll also explore positional play, understanding pawn structures, piece activity, long-term plans, and how to evaluate a position calmly and accurately. This strategic layer is what really pushes players beyond just solving puzzles.

❐ We’ll also cover endgame fundamentals to make sure you can convert advantages or hold difficult positions when the board gets simplified. You won’t need to memorize hundreds of positions, just understand the key ideas that matter most in practical games.

❐ What other services lack is the personal document I create and maintain for each student. I work on it outside of our lessons, so you benefit from a deeper level of my preparation. It includes a summary of your most common mistakes, advice on how to fix them, a list of openings suited to your style, and additional resources or tips that are updated regularly as you improve.

❐ Above all, I keep my approach friendly and supportive! I’ve worked with people as young as 5 and others over 40, and I make sure every session feels comfortable and respectful. You’ll always be welcome to reach out with questions outside sessions, I’ll always be there to help with chess!

[Once you book, please message me on WhatsApp the name of your account if you have one (Lichess, Chess.com, etc.) and a short note about your playstyle (what you enjoy and don't), such as certain types of openings, tactical pressure, playing positionally, etc. This helps me prepare properly beforehand so your session is fully personalized to you]

--- BEFORE READING IT ALL ---
I'm a 19 year old with a lot of teaching experience.
Investing in me is the best way to invest in yourself.
I put all my effort into teaching and making sure you get your moneys worth of knowledge.
--- My thought process ---
I’m someone who thrives on deep thinking, strategy, and problem-solving. Breaking down complexities, and finding patterns in everything, whether it’s in chess, design, math, or the bigger picture of life itself. I’ve always been drawn to challenges that push my limits, and I love refining my skills to absolute precision.
--- Chess As I know it ---
Chess became one of my biggest outlets for this mindset. With a 2000 Elo in classical chess and 3000+ Tactic Elo, I don’t just play. I analyze, adapt, and strategize on a deep level. It’s not just about the moves; it’s about the logic behind them, the psychology, the ability to predict and manipulate the flow of a game. That same approach extends to everything. I don’t settle for surface-level knowledge; I break things apart, master them into bite-sized comprehensive pieces.

Opleiding

Currently a high school student with a strong focus on strategy, analysis, and problem-solving. Passionate about learning, teaching, and continuously improving.

I teach mathematics with passion and dedication. I not only help with working out methods, but also try to provide insight with the help of relevant examples, so that you understand what you are doing.
I walk through chapters that you do not understand, improve tests and help with your homework. Please note: I help you understand what to do, I will not do your homework myself.
Furthermore, you can usually always ask me questions. Do not hesitate!
You can come with any part of mathematics to get extra tutoring. Even though this is the full book.
For adults and seniors who want to improve or expand their basic knowledge, they can also leave something behind. We can then refine specific matters. Or go through a full book of your choice.

They still exist: people who believe that hypnosis is not real, or that it is a paranormal activity. However, decades ago it was scientifically proven that hypnosis not only exists, but is also very effective in achieving all kinds of different goals. Thanks to the hypnosis course, you too can learn what exactly this fascinating state entails.

This way you can not only learn to act, but also get a taste of our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, physical acting, lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, it remains true: the more you follow one particular course, the faster you progress. You can take both live and online lessons.

'Enlightenment is always preceded by confusion.'
Milton H. Erickson

What is hypnosis?

To understand hypnosis, think of sunlight; that is diffuse and falls somewhat everywhere. However, if you bundle light through a number of crystals, you turn it into a laser beam. Hypnosis does the same with your attention. It is usually focused on several things at the same time. This way you not only see what is directly in front of you, but you also notice things to the left and right, in your peripheral vision. However, when you focus yourself and focus your attention on one point, you can achieve a hypnotic state.

Our brains

In the past, people who talked about hypnosis mainly talked about the two brain hemispheres. The left hemisphere controls the right part of the body (except the ears), the right hemisphere controls the left part of our body.

Moreover, it has often been claimed that our logical thinking (including arithmetic) and our language are mainly located in the left hemisphere of the brain, and our creativity in our right hemisphere. However, this is only partially true. The reality is a lot more complex, and other parts of the brain often take over when a certain part is damaged.

In ancient texts - and unfortunately often also in more modern writings - you often read that hypnosis additionally activates the right hemisphere of the brain. During brain scans we can indeed see that a different pattern emerges than when one is asleep or awake.

However, the investigation into what exactly is going on is by no means complete. What we can say with certainty is that the brain usually works as if what is suggested is actually registered, as opposed to what happens when one simply imagines something! Numerous experiments (often with PET scans, such as the experiment by Henry Szechtman of McMaster University in Ontario in 1998, or the pain reduction experiment of Pierre Rainville of the University of Montreal a year earlier) have already shown this.

Brain experiments give us a good example of why hypnosis is so effective in (among other things) pain relief. For example, during a well-known experiment, subjects were confronted with pain stimuli of different intensities. They had to report how much pain they were in while their brain activity was also recorded.

The subjective experience of pain of the same intensity differed enormously from subject to subject, but the activated brain area during the pain experience was especially interesting: after all, this was an area responsible for memory and experience! How strongly you experience pain is therefore largely related to the way you deal with it and not only to the objective intensity!

You will never do anything you don't want to do

The above statement is also largely correct, but it must be qualified somewhat. A particularly small portion of the population—perhaps about one percent—seems to reach a state labeled “stuporous.” These people seem to do just about anything asked.

However, we believe that this has nothing to do with a bad or unstable character, or with absolute control of the hypnotist. What is going on can be explained by the phenomenon of narrowed attention. Because a stuporous person is so concentrated on the task at hand, he or she is often no longer really concerned with what is happening around him or her.

You stay active

In any case, hypnotized people never behave like passive machines: they are actively solving their problems, and are also creative when not suggested by the therapist. However, most things that happen to them are experienced as 'effortless', as if everything happens 'by itself'.

Not everyone has the feeling of being 'away': you usually maintain contact with the outside world during a hypnosis session. It is precisely because of the possibility of disturbance that spectators are usually asked to remain quiet during shows. By the way, it's important that you can hear the hypnotist, right?

Harmless

Hypnosis is absolutely harmless. Negative suggestions can be harmful, but that also applies to everyday life. Anyone who is constantly told by the teacher that he or she is not making any sense of it runs the risk of believing it even when it is not true, or of having a dent in self-confidence. This means that hypnotherapists - like all people - should certainly be careful with the suggestions they give!
For example, we think that most (or all) people suffering from multiple personality disorder (where people believe they have multiple personalities) have been given false suggestions (not necessarily under hypnosis) by people talking about different 'parts' or 'personalities'. And what to think about fortune tellers, whose predictions often become true because people (unconsciously) direct their actions accordingly - which does not necessarily mean that they are all quacks.

Research also shows that when reminiscing, people often fantasize things! A therapist must therefore be careful of this, especially when it concerns alleged incest or abuse, for example.

You always wake up

It is impossible to remain 'stuck' in a hypnotic state. Anyone who remained in hypnosis would simply fall asleep and then wake up sober. It seems that people also often experience a hypnotic state in daily life, for example when reading, watching TV, or practicing yoga or meditation.

Tool

As mentioned, hypnosis is often an excellent tool for treating all kinds of ailments and problems of a psychological or psychosomatic nature. And since body and psyche have a huge mutual influence on each other, this means that you can alleviate or eliminate a lot of suffering with hypnosis. For example, it has been frequently shown that hypnosis is very effective against allergies, psoriasis and anxiety, but hypnotic techniques are also often used to achieve positive goals.

♟️ Why take lessons?

► Are you a busy adult with limited time and don't know what or how to work on to progress in chess?
► Are you the parent of an ambitious child and do not know how to guide him in his progress?
► Are you a beginner player wishing to discover the game with a titled player, in a good mood?

Then this announcement is for you and taking private lessons will save you a lot of time! Indeed, with my experience and my mastery of the game, I am able to:

► To establish a coherent and effective work plan adapted to your level, whatever it is.
► To identify your shortcomings very quickly and to find a remedy.
► Provide or direct you to resources that meet your needs.
► To flesh out the discovery sessions of the game with personal anecdotes or concerning its fascinating history.

Overall, I am able to accelerate your progress in a fun and effective way.

♟️ Course of the first lesson:

Ideally, the student sends me some parts of him as well as a brief description of his personal objectives before making contact. Then, during the first lesson, we get to know each other around an educational part.

♟️ General course schedule:

From the second lesson, we begin the analysis of your games.

I ask you to provide me with games that you have played from which I select the most didactic. I teach primarily based on my students' parts because lessons learned from personal experience stay longer and more easily remembered. However, I sometimes show famous and/or illustrative parts when it seems relevant to me to do so to support a point.

After a few sessions, I have a very precise idea of the state of your knowledge and I am able to personalize the course according to your needs. From then on, I provide you with exercises and recommend resources that correspond perfectly to the aspect of the game that you must work on to progress as efficiently as possible.

♟️ Topics covered during the courses:

My goal is to make you a complete player!
I have accompanied several players from a beginner level to an advanced level (2000+), and I know the different steps to take to become a good player, as well as the methods that work to achieve this.

Among the topics that we cover in the course and that I help you master are (more or less in order):

► Basic masts
► The importance of the material
► Simple mating patterns
► Simple tactical diagrams
► The 4 basic principles for a successful opening
► Elementary endings to effectively end a game
► Basic strategy: strong / weak side, development of a coherent plan at the exit of the opening, improvement of the pieces
► Candidate moves

Then, for more experienced players:

► Advanced tactical diagrams
► A complete and effective opening repertoire, adapted to your style and your level
► Advanced endgames: Activity of the king, passed pawn, activity of the pieces, majority on a wing, etc...
► Advanced strategy: pawn structures, open file, the 7th row, attacking the king, weaknesses, strong squares, prophylaxis, reading the opponent's plan, evaluating a position, exchanging the right pieces, etc...
► Calculation
► Chess creativity

♟️ Classes with children:

I adapt my course in order to capture their attention constantly, I ask them funny and relevant questions so that they retain the lessons easily. I make sure that they are participants in the lesson and not spectators.

I generally end the lesson with a game against them where I expressly leave a few errors lying around, so as to create spontaneous didactic moments (sometimes with a hint!). A brief summary of the mistakes made during the game follows, which serves as a hook for the next lesson.

Two of my students (with whom I have been working for 2 years) finished 1st and 5th in their respective age categories at the last Belgian youth championships.

♟️ Courses on the internet:

For online lessons, I use Discord or Skype to chat and share my camera, as well as the lichess platform to analyze and show games or exercises.

The latter has a tool allowing the teacher and the student to interact on the same chessboard in real time, and to show ideas using arrows and colored boxes. The student can find all the previous lessons at any time by consulting the work sessions archived on the platform.

♟️ Opening hours:

Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
I am available in case you have questions outside of class, I am happy to answer them. I am flexible if ever a course had to be moved due to an unforeseen event.

♟️ Languages:

Classes can be given in French, English and Dutch.

♟️ In summary:

I am professional, pedagogue and available. You lose nothing by contacting me!

Don't be afraid if you are a beginner, most of my students are.

Meet phytocannabinoid supplements
We discuss a number of things you may not have known about the safe use of the medicinal components of the cannabis plant.
When it comes to cannabis, THC and CBD are always in the spotlight. But this ancient plant contains hundreds of other medicinal substances. Many of these work together in unique ways, leading to endless benefits for the quality of our lives.
The hundreds of cannabinoids are severely underestimated, but have a lot to offer.
In this lesson we will delve into the human endogenous cannabinoid system.

This class is designed to help students develop effective and personalized study habits. It focuses on understanding how learning actually works and applying proven techniques to study smarter, not harder. Many students spend hours studying but still struggle to retain information or perform well on exams. This course addresses that problem by teaching evidence-based strategies from cognitive science, psychology, and education. You’ll learn how to plan your study time, stay motivated, and use your brain’s natural learning patterns to your advantage.

I have spent years struggling to find the right study method. I want to help other students study the right way.
