It's incredibly fulfilling to see my students grow in their understanding of the game and to watch their progress over time.

For kids, my lessons are friendly, motivating, and easy to follow, especially if they are just discovering the game. I focus on building good habits, clear thinking, and a genuine enjoyment of chess. For adults or more advanced young competitive players, my main focus is tactics, variation calculation, strategic play and ideas, endgames, as well as developing a solid understanding of openings at beginner and intermediate levels.

Every program is tailored individually, whether you’re an adult looking to improve your game or a child taking their first steps in chess. Chess is a wonderful lifelong game. Whether you’re learning for personal growth or looking for lessons for your child, it offers many benefits: improved memory, concentration, logic, patience, critical thinking, and problem-solving. It also provides a calm, fun, and socially engaging environment where students can meet new people and build confidence.

Alexander - Berlin29€

Trusted teacher: I offer chess tutoring for beginners and advanced players :) My approach is to promote understanding of the game in a playful way and then look at the moves in order to implement your own chess style. Chess is a beautiful game, which even gets more beautiful the more you understand it (everyone can memorize moves 😉). Nowadays, chess is no longer just about reading and memorizing, but also modern! If a learning process is presented in an interactive and fun way, each person can discover a wide variety of things for themselves, I am firmly convinced of that. My current chess.com ELO is 1800 in 10 minute format and 1700 in 3 minute format. I am happy about every message!

Stephen - Dublin, IrelandRecently active41€

41€Chess class for beginners: Understand the basic principles, learn how to analyse the chessboard and build a strong foundation as a chess player

Trusted teacher: Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame. The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation. Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress. I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.

Mayur

Lets just say i haven't been back to school in 10 years. Mayur was the best tutor i could ask for. He helped me get a clear understanding of all the math problems, after just one lesson i could already see improvement. Besides being a kind person he has great patience and all the skill required to help anyone succeed. Because of his great teaching i was able to integrate back into school easily and pass my test with no problem. He has given me the confidence to continue learning and pushing forward in my education. Thank you Again for being so great! He means it when he said all you need is you mind a paper and a pen to learn. I would recommend him to anyone.

1st grade I will be your chess coach and help you become the winner of the tournament

Dmytro

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 :)
