Hello everybody! My name is Vladislav, I'm 20 years old, and I've been living in Vienna for two years. I'm a FIDE Master with a rating of 2384, winner of the 2025 Vienna State Masters Championship, and a prizewinner of the 2025 Memorial Korchnoi. I also successfully passed the 2025 MedAT with 84% – this demonstrates that I learn in a structured way, develop strategies, and can convey complex content in an understandable way. I was a member of the Saint Petersburg national team, twice the winner of the Russian Youth Team Championship, multiple winner of the Saint Petersburg Youth Championship, runner-up of the 2018 European Youth Team Championship in Tallinn, and a participant and prizewinner of many international competitions. Over the past four years as a chess coach, I have developed effective and individualized methods to systematically improve my students' chess skills. What you will learn from me: 1) Tactical and strategic basics so that you not only play the moves but understand them; 2) Understanding the middle game and planning your own game ideas; 3) Building your individual opening repertoire; 4) Analysis of real games and exciting practice exercises for every level. Why learn with me? I have successfully coached many students – some have won medals at Russian and Austrian youth championships. Lessons available in German, English or Russian. Flexible format: online (Zoom) or at your home. We can start together and see how your training can be made effective. My goal is for you to not just move pieces, but to enjoy the game and systematically improve your chess skills – whether you're a beginner or a tournament player.

Nikola - Serbia69€

69€“Step-by-Step Chess Training with GM & FIDE Trainer Nikola – All Levels Welcome”

Hi, I’m Grandmaster and FIDE Trainer Nikola I’ve been playing chess since early childhood and teaching professionally for almost ten years. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of students — from the current European Champion, who is also one of the Top 100 Grandmasters in the world, and some of the most talented US prodigies, to complete beginners who simply want to enjoy chess and improve. What I enjoy most is helping each student grow at their own pace. I teach online using Zoom and the Lichess Study option, which makes the lessons very interactive — we can go through games together, practice ideas, and analyze positions in real time. What we work on depends on you, but usually includes: Openings – building a repertoire you feel comfortable with. Strategy & Positional Play – learning how to place your pieces and make strong plans. Calculation & Tactics – becoming sharper and more confident in complex positions. Endgames – mastering the techniques that often decide the result. I like to keep lessons clear, practical, and enjoyable. My goal is to help you understand chess more deeply and play with greater confidence — step by step, at your own pace. All ages and levels are welcome, and I’ll be glad to share this journey with you.

Tyler - Nagoya, Japan33€

33€Chess lessons and coaching for beginners to advanced students

Trusted teacher: I am an experienced chess player and teacher, with many tournament victories in Japan, where I currently reside. My rating is around 2000 FIDE, and I am comfortable teaching students from absolute beginner level up to about 2000 FIDE, both online and face-to-face (depending on location). I can teach lessons in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, upon request. I can also teach in Japanese, at a basic level, though due to my mediocre Japanese language ability, some slight misunderstandings may occur during classes. The classes are customized according to the needs of the student. For instance, with beginners, the focus is on tactics, pattern recognition, and learning basic opening principles, endgames, and stategy. For advanced players, the coaching is much more personalized, and may focus on aspects such as identifying and improving their specific weaknesses, or helping them refine their opening repertoire for an upcoming tournament. I am happy to discuss the needs of each student at length before starting classes, and regardless of what we agree on, I expect my students to make their best efforts during the classes and hope to really challenge them to think deeply about the material.
