So, I played my first game of Chess on Christmas Eve 2022, I played a few games with family members... and somehow I won them all!

This peaked my interest, so I decided to learn a bit more about it. I can safely say it's one of the best choices iv'e made.

I decided to set my goal at 2000 Elo on the next Christmas Eve, turns out I didnt need that much time, I had already gotten to 2000 ELO on te 13th of October, and was 2100 ELO on Christmas Eve.

If you want someone who still remembers how a beginner thinks, AND has experience in fast improvement. I'd be happy to be the one to give you this knowledge.

My name is Daniil, and chess has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. Passionate about this fascinating game since childhood, I've played hundreds of competitions and won dozens of youth and adult tournaments.
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.

Some figures to know me better:
• 10 years of experience in teaching chess
• 20 years of experience in club and competition
• Official 1900 FIDE / 2400 Elo rating on online platforms
• More than 2,500 courses given to 1,000 students in group and individual lessons

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.

In order to enrich his emotional skills, it will be a question of making your emotion the ally of your professional efficiency and / or your personal harmony. Emotions punctuate your life, they intervene in a more or less conscious way and have a considerable influence on your well-being and your performance at work.

How to recognize them, decipher them and make them your allies? How to face the emotions of others, anticipate their reaction and keep a step back? How to better manage unforeseen situations and tensions?

These workshops allow you to learn to listen and tame emotions to improve your personal / professional relationships and strengthen your efficiency at work.

The objectives are clear, with always practical applications:
- Discover your own emotional process to understand the role and impact of emotions
- Analyze its operations and implement personal strategies to channel them
- Develop your emotional awareness to be in touch with your values
- Strengthen one's balance / harmony, self-confidence as well as the best discovery & mastery of one's own resources / skills / potential as well as new tools
- Overcome your fears and blockages to be able to move forward and serenely.
- Reduce psychological (stress, anxiety, concentration ...) & psycho-somatic manifestations
- Optimization of the emotional process & the concept of emotional intelligence
- Make your sensitivity & possible hypersensitivity a strength

Indeed, the sensitive & hypersensitive represent a small part of the population and are able to perceive what others do not feel, which is hidden but try to conform to what is expected of them and of them. '' be able to live in community. After a suitable accompaniment, a hypersensitive can learn to tame his innate capacities and to create harmony in his own existence.

What happens during a session ?

After having defined together one or more global objectives based on your initial problem, each session takes place in two stages.

1) Browse, analyze & dissect together the reflections, thoughts and notes taken during the week and related to your emotions: actions taken based on the suggestions of the previous week; thoughts; feelings: what worked or not / corresponded or not to your expectations. It is also an opportunity to get to know you better in order to better define / define / identify and then solve together the challenges / emotional blockages of the moment.

2) Based on the conclusions of the first part, a proposal of two to three sub-issues of the day to be dealt with during the session (sub-issues built from your initial issue): to answer them, for each of them 'between them, a series of ten to fifteen pragmatic reflections / actions will be proposed to you. Three possible answers:
- "I have already tried this solution but it does not suit me" or "I do not really believe it": we go to the next suggestion
- “Never tried” or “why not”, “I'll think about it”: we set ourselves the goal of trying as soon as the opportunity arises, by the next session

Concretely, a session = a reflection but above all A SESSION = SOLUTIONS / proposals / concrete suggestions to put into practice for the following session in order to overcome its blockages.

According to the defined objective, it is a question of identifying & resolving the impact of emotions and their bad channeling not only on his communication but especially on his daily life.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

It is a question of putting in place rational and professional tools to defuse conflicts and enter your comfort / security zone. In particular simple and logical techniques, which make it possible to resolve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, efficient and lasting way.

The objectives are:
0. Understand and identify the issues / risks then find a balance between empathy and conviction
1. Use interpersonal communication techniques resulting from mediation to defuse tensions and gain distance
2. Dissociate the relational and the nature of the disagreement - Overcome cognitive and psychological obstacles
3. Acquire the techniques of self-defense and mastery without hurting and being injured
4. Face and then defuse difficult behaviors (blackmail attempts, threats, destabilization) or even dangerous with a mediation strategy
5. Develop conflict management and negotiation skills by alternating attentive listening, active speaking and rationality in the face of the limited rationality of the angry individual.

➤ Being a good manager is also being a good communicator. After all, a strategy can only be put into practice if you show yourself capable of interacting with your employees, of being a source of inspiration for them and of listening to their concerns. Unfortunately, not all managers naturally excel in this role and their difficulties in asserting themselves as true leaders is often attributable to their difficulties in communicating.

➤ The objective would then be to explore together the areas of improvement in terms of communication know-how. And managing effectively requires specific and cutting-edge know-how.

➤ In fact, managerial communication corresponds to the interactions between the management of the company and the organization and more specifically, between the manager and his team. This manager is in charge of transmitting information and directives coming from higher hierarchical levels, supporting internal communication, distilling messages related to his own management to obtain the commitment of his team, all while transmitting a message effectively.

➤ This exercise can therefore be tricky: this is why it is important to choose the right mediator in order to be well supported, not only to be understood by those around him, but also to carry out his mission.

➤ What to communicate? When ? Whose ? These questions will find an answer in the consistency of the actions undertaken. Good managerial communication will thus aim to exchange / dialogue effectively with its employees, maintain a close link between the different layers of the company, bring human relations back to the heart of the company, establish a climate of trust and good team cohesion, motivate by inspiring.

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, and this from the 1st session.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions*. (*study 2022).

Kids don't need lectures about "good money habits." They need to feel what money does.
While adults debate finances at home, kids are already using money, without actually understanding how.

In this course, we learn by playing. And by thinking.
We'll explore together:
✓ Simulate a real shop: handle actual money, practice spending and saving, discover what it feels like
✓ Create a personal budget: not boring spreadsheets, but visuals, games, and real challenges
✓ Ask the real questions: Need vs. want. Why save? How do people earn? What's debt?
✓ Discover how systems work: Banks, loans, digital money, and financial security
✓ Think like an entrepreneur: What services can I offer? How do I create value? How do I turn an idea into money?

Why this is different:
Most kids think "money is complicated." This class shows them that money is a tool, not a mystery, not something to fear.
And, more importantly: that they can control it.

What they take home:
A personal budgeting system they actually understand. Answers to questions they've been asking. And the mindset: money is a means, not an end.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60-min sessions | Small group or one-on-one

For curious kids who ask questions about money.
