Michaël is friendly and calm and thoughtful. I enjoyed the lesson with him.
Mickael is very educational and he will quickly show you the main lines to follow according to your level and your preferred openings. It works on lichess and it will leave your analysis file available on your lichess account.

Mathematics for secondary education or primary education; get new insights.
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.

Learn to play chess - tutorials on strategy and planning
I have been playing chess since I was 6 years old, individually and for various chess teams, mostly in Greece. I have won the Thessaloniki tournament for ages under 15 and have met Kasparov and Karpov playing in the chess olympics in 1986! I love this game and I enjoy teaching new chess players!

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