Thibault - Brussels589 CNY

589 CNYBelgian top 50, coach for 10 years. Professional, pedagogue and passionate. FIDE master (elo > 2300).

Trusted teacher: ♟️ 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.

Trusted teacher: Chess is an amazing game I think everyone should learn. To start I will teach you how to play in a beginner friendly way by focusing less on the theory and more on tactics and rules you should follow during your game so you always have a good position. Then when you're excited about that we can move on to theory so you need less time worrying about what to play. I make my own courses and i will teach you how to use an online database so you have all the skills necessary to improve further. I specialize in teaching people on the autism spectrum.

Giorgi - Ghent295 CNY

295 CNYChess lessons online or at home. Suitable for beginners or people who already know a little bit about chess and new concepts, strategies or tactics

Trusted teacher: Always wanted to improve in chess or win against that one friend? Then you've come to the right place! Together we will analyze where things go wrong in your games so that you will beat that one friend very quickly! ;) I completely tailor the lesson to your preferences / needs. In addition, during the first meeting I will make an assessment of where your points for improvement lie and what you already master. I teach in a narrative and humorous way so that the subject matter stays with the student. The lessons are intended for beginners or people who already know how to play chess and want to learn new concepts, strategies or tactics. I won the Belgian, Flemish and East Flemish School Chess Championship twice. Furthermore, I already have an experience of 5 years teaching both children and adults. I've always loved doing this. There is nothing more beautiful than showing people the beauty of chess. The better you get the more beautiful the game becomes as you gain more insight into it. Queen sacrifices and nice mate combinations are one of the most blissful things you can achieve in chess. I want you to experience this feeling for yourself.

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.

He has been tutoring our son Floris, who is currently in Grade 10 at the International School of Utrecht and follows the HL Maths curriculum. Floris is highly gifted but also has dyslexia, which presents unique challenges in his learning process. Prashil has proven to be the perfect match for him. He is calm, patient, and adapts his teaching style to Floris’s needs in a way that builds both understanding and confidence.
