Chess lessons for professional career or presonal development given by the Scottish Cup winner.
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.

Elementary School Students: Mathematics Tutoring for ChildrenI specialize in tutoring elementary math, helping young learners build strong foundational skills in a fun and engaging way. I use a variety of creative strategies and resources such as interactive games, visual aids, videos, hands-on activities, and scaffolded lessons to make math enjoyable and accessible.

(Online) Mathematics Tutoring for High School StudentsHigh School Math can be confusing for students. Often there is not enough time in school to repeat the content and practice enough, for the students to gain confidence and a routine in solving mathematical problems. With my help and guidance, any confusion will be cleared and we will practice problem solving until you are confident and understand the material.
The lessons will be tailored to your needs and their structure depends highly on you: usually it is a mixture of repeating the content, solving exercises together, summarising important concepts and talking about exercises you tried yourself at home. The topics, content, pace and methods of learning will be adjusted to your needs, ensuring that you get the most out of my lessons. Besides the lessons, you will get "homework" to work on to strengthen your skills and independent working.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
-Linear Algebra
-Calculus
-Trigonometry
-Geometry
-Set Theory
-Analysis
If you have another topic in mind that you really need help with, just send me a message!
Whether you need someone that explains the concepts to you or just someone to practice exercises with - I am sure I can help you. You have an exam soon and want to review the main topics? No problem! You have a very specific problem, question or topic that you need help with? I'm here to answer any questions! You need help with preparing for your A-levels/High School diploma? Don't fret, I will guide and prepare you!
The most important part of my lessons is, however, to ensure a safe and comfortable environment - I have no issue with explaining the same concept over and over again until I am convinced that you have understood it. It is important to me that you feel comfortable in asking any questions - I want to show you, that Math is more than a subject and that it can be fun!

Primary & Middle School Mathematics Individual French System & Brevet PreparationI love math because it's a subject that, while intimidating to some, is also incredibly logical and rewarding. Understanding math is like solving puzzles—every problem has a solution, and every step is a small challenge to overcome.
This mathematics course is designed to support primary and secondary school students (up to grade 9) in the French system. It covers all the essential concepts of the curriculum: numeration, calculation, geometry, problem solving, statistics and probability, algebra, and preparation for the Brevet (Brevet).
The goal is to strengthen the foundations, clarify gray areas, and give the student confidence and autonomy.
Each session is personalized according to the student's level, pace, and needs. Fun methods are used for younger students, while discipline and strategy are used for older students.
