Group chess lessons with Lea, learning and fun guaranteed ! (3 students)

A partir de 19.5 $ /h

When I was younger, I enrolled in all the chess lessons that my elementary school offered. Quickly, I ranked in the top 3 in Quebec and Canada (top 1 the last two years that I played!), Until the age of 15, when I stopped playing. I now want to pass on my knowledge in this wonderful game!

We will correct the assignment given at the end of the previous lesson, then we will see new material in each lesson. I will answer all the student's questions and give them an assignment (optional but recommended) at the end of the course.

Experiencia / Calificaciones

Lorsque j'étais jeune, je m'inscrivais dans tous les cours d'échecs que mon école primaire offrait. Je me suis rapidement classée dans le top 3 au Québec et au Canada, jusqu'à l'âge de 15 ans, où j'ai arrêté les échecs. Je souhaite maintenant enseigner ce magnifique jeu !

My three main areas of expertise (not necessarily in this order):

- Chess: I teach chess to beginners and intermediate players up to ELO 1800 or ECF 1700, working on the tactical and strategic aspects of openings, middle games and endgames.. "chess is life in miniature"!

- Fitness / Running / Triathlon: I coach people who want to get fitter and generally incorporate any endurance activity into a health(ier) lifestyle. I am a dedicated coach who has competed in several marathons and Ironman races (also qualified for the Ironman World Championship). I focus on nutrition, stress and sleep as well for a holistic approach.

- Languages: I specialize in tutoring Italian and Spanish; my style is to keep students challenged and motivated through simple classes and practical exercises (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary).. I'm a demanding teacher but will guide you in a fun and interactive way.

Please contact me if you have any interest in spending more time and energy in any of these 3 areas, and don't forget that "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano" is a good approach to look after yourself :)

My goal is to teach you how to play better and also improve your concentration with this ancient game.

The course is divided into three parts: A theoretical part where I show you typical tactical themes, then the student solves exercises and finally we play games.

Hi, my name is Gabriel. I'm the head coach of the chess team of the National University of Mexico (UNAM) since 2010. I speak fluent English as I lived six years in Oxford, England, when I was a child and I practice it since then.

With the UNAM's team I have obtained the following titles:
National Women's Championship: 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
National Men's Championship: 2018, 2019
Absolute National Championship: 2018, 2019
Panamerican 2013 in Durango: silver medal

I also have extensive experience with players of all ages and levels. Here is a list of the places where I have worked:
- UNAM's Children's Chess Program since 2012.
- Private schools.
- CEDAT School for gifted children.
- Private sports and social clubs.
- Homeschoolers
- Personal chess coach since 2005.

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.
I would love to help you learn chess or improve your game to reach competitive levels. It does not matter your degree of experience, your level of play, or your age.

I am attentive to any questions you may have.
Greeting and I wish you success!

Are you trying to level up quickly to beat your peers in chess? You just found recently the game exciting and wanna learn more about it? Or are you preparing for a company or informal/formal chess tournament?

I've got your back. With my personalized training, you will be able to improve your game in a few weeks. I will provide you with the tactics, strategies, openings, material, and a training plan so you can study on your own and become a better player in no time.

What is in the training lessons:
- Measure of your current level
- Finding your playing style
- Personalized training plan (openings, middle game, end game, tactics, strategy, time management)
- Level up your skill and depth of thought (being able to think many moves beyond your opponent)
- If you want to improve your blitz/bullet level I can also help you with that!

About me:
As a seasoned chess player with over 15 years of experience, I have honed my skills and competed in various international tournaments, showcasing my love for the game. However, my passion for chess has transcended competition, and in 2018, I made the decision to transition into a career as a professional chess tutor. Now, I find great joy in sharing the intricacies and beauty of chess with my students, and helping them to develop their own strategies and techniques. It's incredibly fulfilling to see my students grow in their understanding of the game and to watch their progress over time.

We can even try an online lesson if you don't want to spend time commuting. I know how difficult is to find the right mentor and therefore I offer you this option to help you.

Looking forward to meeting you and helping you improve your chess skills soon.
Talk to you soon,
Leo

- le vocabulaire des échecs, la notation des coups
- les différents types de mats, les principaux thèmes tactiques
- les principes généraux de la stratégie (contrôle du centre et développement des pièces)

L'objectif est d'acquérir et de renforcer les bons réflexes de jeu : développer une approche tactique, tout en apprenant les erreurs à éviter.

My goals are to help you progress, acquire a solid foundation, and above all, share my love of chess with you! Passion is the driving force behind learning.

I also offer game analyses, so that you can spot and understand your mistakes, and thus progress.

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.

I’m a 2000-rated bilingual chess player on Chess.com with several years of experience teaching students through workshops and leading my high-school chess club.

Chess isn’t just a game. It is a way to train your mind to anticipate, take risk and stay calm under pressure. There are more possible chess combinations than electrons in the universe!
In this class, you’ll learn not only how to play chess, but how to think like a chess player.

We’ll cover:
1. Opening principles and how to control the board early.
2. Mid-game pattern recognition: attacking plans and defending under pressure.
3. Endgame techniques and how to convert small advantages into wins (Chess is often won by the difference of a pawn).
4. Tips and tricks on how to manage nerves, focus, and decision-making.

As a neuroscience student, I also help players understand how the brain makes decisions improving focus and intuition.

My approach combines strategiy, pattern recognition, and emotional control.
Whether you’re a beginner who wants to understand the board, or an intermediate player aiming to level up, each lesson is structured, practical, and fun.

Quick results will be visible!!!

Do you want to stop making random moves and finally feel confident when you play chess? My lessons are designed to help you improve fast with clear strategies, practical tactics and real-game thinking you can use immediately.

Instead of boring theory and endless memorization, we focus on what actually helps you win more games: spotting tactics quickly, building strong plans, avoiding common mistakes and understanding what is really happening on the board.

Each lesson is personalized to your level and goals. Whether you are a beginner learning the fundamentals or an intermediate player who feels stuck, we will analyze your games, fix recurring errors and build skills that make a visible difference in your performance.

My teaching style is clear, practical and focused on real improvement — you will learn how to think during games, not just what moves to copy.

If you want to play with more confidence, make smarter decisions and start seeing real progress on the board, these lessons are for you.

I have been playing chess since 1985. My dad quit playing me in 1988 when he was never able to win again. Chess is the most classic strategy game of all time.

If you want to learn how to play chess I can teach you. If you are able to beat me then you graduate the class. I doubt you ever will, but I would be very happy for you if you could. My goal will be to teach you to put me out of a job.

Then you will be able to say:

"I've been waiting for you, [Kenneth]. We meet at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the master."
