Private Chess Teacher
I learned to play chess with my grandfather when I was 5 years old and have played now for over 30 years. I adopt a modern, attacking style to bridge and will teach you tactics like combinations, openings, sacrifices, forks, and many other tricks to help you win games quickly.
If you are defensive minded, I will teach you how to frustrate your opponents, like forcing them to trade queens or rooks to push an endgame scenario. I use the chess.com platform for teaching and we can also talk by phone or video chat alongside.

Private Chess Teacher
I have been playing chess for 35 years. I play generally three times a week and win regularly. I have taught the game to over 100 people in my life. I mentor a number of young people who strongly believe that my chess instruction and the applicable thought logic lessons I inculcate have escalated their job options.

My students can expect a lesson that's full of fun, engaging and accompanied by a high level of passion and energy.
I'm result oriented and very dedicated to my students and provide students with a lot of constructive feedback during the lessons.
Lessons will mainly focus on students strength and weaknesses, through many different means. The lessons are supplemented by several materials: work book problems, live game play, analysis of student's own games, online resources, classic game review and much more. My custom lesson plans are based on the student's own background and experience. I am always committed to making each lesson fun and exciting!
