For the past 10 years, I have been sharing my passion for chess as a teacher in various settings: clubs, primary schools, secondary schools, private lessons, and associations. I also teach in English and Russian.
Furthermore, I graduated from the Sorbonne with a Masters in international strategy and business intelligence.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, my lessons are designed to help you progress quickly while having fun playing.

My method is based on solid teaching experience and relies on a comprehensive and structured approach, suitable for all levels. It is based on three main axes:

1. Learning the fundamentals: Learn or consolidate the essential principles in the opening, middlegame and endgames.
2. Tactics and strategy: develop your sense of the game with targeted, fun and practical exercises.
3. Analyze your games: Understand your mistakes, identify your strengths, and apply this knowledge in your games.

My goal is to offer you a clear and complete vision of the game, to progress effectively and achieve your goals, whether it is to play for pleasure or in competition.

My peak rating is 2165 FIDE ELO, which would be equivalent to the USCF National Master level, although really my chess dedication has been focused on teaching.

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.

Lessons are tailored to your level and goals, whether you are a beginner or intermediate player.
We work in a structured way around three fundamental pillars:

• Strategic understanding of the game
• Development of calculation and attention skills
• Practical training for decision-making

We study openings logically (not just memorization), analyze real games, and dedicate special attention to endgames, where many games are decided.
The goal is to build a solid understanding and evolve consistently.
