Goncalo - Massamá, Portugal87 QAR
87 QAR1st Division Team Coach | Custom-Tailored Coaching | 1900 Classical Elo & 3000+ Tactical Elo
Trusted teacher: In these coaching sessions, you’ll get custom-made documents to help guide your progress, tailored to your strengths and weaknesses. I review your games, provide personalized advice, and develop strategies that match your playstyle, ensuring each session delivers maximum value. Small Introduction and Overall Plan: ❐ I offer flexible, friendly, and tailored lessons for players of all ages and skill levels, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. My approach is all about making learning chess enjoyable and effective. I adapt my lessons to your strengths and preferences, focusing on long-term improvement through structured, personalized coaching. Whether you’re refining openings, sharpening tactics, or mastering endgames, I’m here to guide you. Plus, with a custom-made document tracking your progress, you’ll always know exactly what to work on outside of the sessions. I’m easy to work with, approachable, and dedicated to helping you get stronger, one move at a time. (I’ve coached players from 5 years old to 40+ years old, so no matter your age, you’re in good hands.) With this document, your lessons will be unlike anyone else’s because it’s tailored and properly structured specifically for you. Detailed Introduction and Specifics for the Plan: ❐ Each lesson is designed to give you strong foundations, practical improvement, and long-term growth, no matter your age or level. My coaching adapts to your pace and experience, making it ideal whether you're just starting or have been playing for a while. ❐ We'll begin by building an opening repertoire that fits your personal style. I won't just hand you random openings, I’ll explain the ideas behind them and show you how to use them effectively. These choices are based on your actual games, so they reflect your comfort zone and goals. At the same time, we’ll work on analyzing your games in depth. I’ll review them before our sessions and point out recurring patterns, key mistakes, and habits that may be holding you back. This allows each lesson to target exactly what will help you improve fastest. ❐ Tactics play a huge role in chess strength, so we’ll develop your calculation skills using custom positions from your own games and trusted training tools. I’ll help you build confidence in spotting patterns and making sharp decisions during critical moments. As your tactical vision grows, we’ll also explore positional play, understanding pawn structures, piece activity, long-term plans, and how to evaluate a position calmly and accurately. This strategic layer is what really pushes players beyond just solving puzzles. ❐ We’ll also cover endgame fundamentals to make sure you can convert advantages or hold difficult positions when the board gets simplified. You won’t need to memorize hundreds of positions, just understand the key ideas that matter most in practical games. ❐ What makes my coaching unique is the personal document I create and maintain for each student. I work on it outside of our lessons, so you benefit from a deeper level of preparation. It includes a summary of your most common mistakes, advice on how to fix them, a list of openings suited to your style, and additional resources or tips that are updated regularly as you improve. ❐ Between lessons, I can also provide optional short tasks tailored to your goals, whether you want to take things slow or push yourself hard. Everything we do is structured, but flexible. ❐ Above all, I keep my approach friendly and supportive. I’ve worked with people as young as 5 and others over 40, and I make sure every session feels comfortable and respectful. You’ll always be welcome to reach out with questions between lessons, I’ll be there to help. [Once you book, message me the name of your account if you have one (Lichess, Chess.com, etc.) and a short note about your playstyle (what you enjoy and don't), such as certain types of openings, tactical pressure, playing positionally, etc. This helps me prepare effectively in my own time so that every session is fully personalized to you]

Olivier - Rouen, France314 QAR
314 QARInternational Master (elo>2400) and Trainer for 22 years (-50% tax credit!)
Trusted teacher: ★ For all courses at your home, there is a 50% tax credit on the price of the courses. ★ I teach children from 5 years old. Do you often wonder why you can't progress? Because you are looking left and right for information, advice and books to read but you are getting scattered. You constantly watch chess videos on the Internet which are entertaining but it is too passive an activity which does not really make you study chess in depth. Then you will play online games at too fast a pace while you do not master the general principles. In fact, you have developed bad reflexes because you keep repeating the same mistakes without even realizing it, which is why your level quickly stagnates. When you analyze your games, click on the 20th move and you will realize that often your game is already badly engaged. You often manage your time badly, you play too fast when it is important to choose the right voice and you hesitate too long in positions where the moves are obvious. Then, you make a game report which tells you that you played with 80% accuracy but nevertheless you lost and you do not necessarily understand the main reasons. And finally, you watch the game with an analysis module which offers you good moves but does not provide you with the explanations necessary to fully understand them. Some teachers also offer group lessons with a monthly subscription which can help you progress slightly, but what you need is a truly personalized lesson. Taking private lessons will save you a lot of time because I know the methods that work to progress and quickly be more competitive. I will teach you the essential concepts to master to better understand chess overall and I can recommend interesting books to study alongside classes. I have always liked to pass on my knowledge to my students so that they can give the best of themselves. This is why, over the years, I have improved my teaching techniques and I have created a real training program in order to best help my students unlock their potential. It is important to understand that good progress is a subtle balance between playing and studying. Whether you want to compete for fun or to win titles, whether you want to beat your friends or simply discover the complexity of the game of chess: this announcement is made for you! ★ I would like to reassure “beginners” who are sometimes a little “ashamed” of their level by telling them that I have many beginner students! ★ Recent examples: ➤ September 2018, a 16-year-old student takes 1.5 hours of lessons per week to improve in competition. It goes from 1650 to 2000 in around fifteen hours of lessons! ➤ November 2019, I have 2 new students (29 and 30 years old) who are 1200 on Chesscom. One decides to take 3 hours of lessons per week and the other 4 hours. 1 year later, there are 2000 of them on the same site! ➤ September 2021, a 35-year-old student returns to chess competitions after a 20-year hiatus. With 1 hour of lessons per week, it goes from 1350 to 1650 after only 10 hours of lessons! ➤ September 2021, a 23-year-old student decides to take 3 hours of lessons per week at 1600 on Chesscom. After a year of lessons he reached 2380 in 15 minute games! ➤ July 2022, a 30-year-old student decides to take 2 hours of lessons per week, he is then 800 on Chesscom. Barely 6 months later, it is 1450 on the same site! ➤ December 2023, one of my young students went from 1600 to 2000 FIDE elo in 2 years of lessons and became Paris Champion in his age category! ★ If you still have hesitations, I have more than 200 reviews left by my students at the bottom of the ad. You can read some of them, this will allow you to get a better idea of the quality of the courses and the good atmosphere that reigns there. In order for the lessons to be effective, the secret is regularity, that is to say doing at least 1 hour of lessons per week. ★ ★ Mini group lessons (2 to 4 people): ➤ If you don't want to take lessons alone because you've never taken one. ➤ If you want to work on common themes with your friends who have a similar level to yours. ➤ If you want your teenagers to do something more interesting than spending their days in front of their tablets. ➤ Or if you simply want quality courses at a preferential price. This offer might interest you! Prices are specified at the very bottom of the ad. ★ ★ Individual lessons for adults and experienced children: I offer quality lessons with a real methodology! ★ Progress of the first lessons: Whether you're competing or playing online, we'll analyze your games over a few sessions. This will allow me to assess your knowledge, thought process, strengths and typical mistakes in order to together define a training program for the upcoming sessions. For this program to be viable I will take into account your level, your ambitions but also the time you can devote to playing and studying. ★ And for the following courses: ➤ A complete and effective repertoire of openings (created with the latest software), adapted to your style and your level. Examples: London System, Viennese, Scottish, Tarrash, Sicilian c3, Alekhine, Modern, Philidor, Scandinavian, Caro-Kann, Slavic, East Indian Defense, Petrov... This repertoire is not based on opening traps but on understanding each move played. This will allow you to play good moves without learning tons of variations by heart! We will study the openings together in a practical order according to what you are played the most. My goal is not to make you learn tons of lines that you are never played! I would like to point out that the lines have been worked on very seriously, so you will be able to play them throughout your progression. You will therefore not spend your life re-studying the openings by buying books or online databases, which will save you a lot of time and money! I would like to point out that I show absolutely everything I know! ➤ A multitude of tactical exercises to be able to take a decisive advantage during your games. I will also teach you methods to optimize your calculations! ➤ The study of elementary checkmates and essential endgames in order to master endgames. ➤ Learn to build a plan in the middle of the game through the study of the games of world champions and their contemporaries. The goal is to show you a multitude of different patterns so that you have sufficient chess knowledge to be able to play all types of positions well. You will thus develop automatisms and a certain sense of the game which will help you in your games! This whole methodology aims to make you a complete player. ★★ Courses for beginner children (from 5 years old): I have a lot of students between 5 and 14 years old who are beginners, it's really an audience I'm used to working with! It is essential that children have fun, which is why my approach is above all fun! Each child is different, I always adapt my teaching according to their age, their desires and their level. I play with them to teach them to think while they play. Chess works a lot on concentration and patience, which is good for school. I teach them to understand the opponent's moves so they can counter them. I make them a small repertoire of openings and I teach them the typical traps of their favorite openings. For the rest, I give them simple exercises to start with, then I progress at the student's pace so that they learn the different rules and techniques while having fun! My lessons boil down to this: good humor and efficiency! ★ Video lessons: I use the free Discord software to communicate with my student and share my screen. I have a good quality webcam and a Razer Seiren Mini microphone which are perfect for good transcription of lessons. You will see that video lessons are just as effective as home lessons! I download your played games from the Internet and then we analyze them via ChessBase. Thanks to this software, I have access to all my lessons, so I can present classic games to you as well as openings that I have already analyzed beforehand. I can also show plans using colored arrows, highlight threats, important squares to control or show a weakened pawn structure. It also contains a database of 12 million games which I use to illustrate my explanations with famous games. We will also do educational games: I will watch you play and comment on your thought process live, I will also ask you questions that will make you think about specific points. The goal is not to guide you so that you win games but rather to improve your way of thinking. At the end of each lesson, I send my lessons by email so that you can review the points worked together! ★ Hours: - Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. - Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. ★ Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions as I usually respond within the hour. We can therefore arrange a first lesson quickly. You have nothing to lose because I offer the first half hour of lessons to offset the site's registration fees! See you soon !

Dmytro

rating green star
I had my first class with Dmytro and I really enjoyed it. He takes his classes very seriously (he was very punctual, he had indicated to me in advance the apps/tools needed for the class, he was asking if I have questions, he replied very quickly to my messages before the class...). Also, he was very patient with me (I have a low level in chess...). I liked a lot that he was not just explaining "book" theory of chess, but also the practical tricks. I will book a second class. 100% recommended :)

Fawzi is friendly with an approachable manner. He is quick to understand your level of French and what needs to be achieved. He explains French very well and makes you feel comfortable even if you are inexperienced and looks for the positives in your approach to learning. I am happy with our training schedule so far and I hope to develop and gain confidence in my pronunciation of French and speaking.

Arman

rating green star
Arman has been teaching chess to my 6-year old son for about 2 months now. My boy started with hardly any knowledge of the game. Thanks to Arman he now thoroughly enjoys playing chess. Arman is a great teacher: patient but firm - with exactly the right combination of theory (e.g. puzzles, openings etc.) and practice (via Lichess). I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Arman as a chess teacher.
