I'm passionate about Chess and I try to impart the same passion to the learner. The sessions are informative, anecdotal and fun! I strongly believe Chess is not just a game, it's a way of thinking. Hence, the learner will be taught how to approach the game, strategize, think out of the box and develop general problem solving skills. The learning plan will be structured in a systematic manner according to the needs and preferences of the learner. I offer both personalized 1-on-1 sessions and group sessions to facilitate collaborative learning. People of all ages and nationality are welcome to contact me for chess lessons.
