About Victoria N.
4.9
(34)
I am Woman International Master in Chess (2010) and represented the United States in numerous international tournaments. Professional Chess Coach with over twelve years of teaching experience. Having worked with clients throughout Chicago since 2010. Woman International Master based in NYC. I played competitively and studied chess for the last 22 years. I bring a depth of professional experience and knowledge to those who are eager to expand their minds, talents, and skills.
During my professional career, I also managed to accrue 12 years of work experience. I had the privilege of working with
amazing international chess organizations such as Chess Without Borders in Chicago, Shanghai Chess Academy from 2016-to 2017, and New York Public/Private schools starting in 2017 where I learned valuable professional skills such as classroom management, course design, and curriculum development. In both my academic and professional life.
Beginners are very welcome!

These lessons are great!
She is an international woman chess master, but you also feel like you are learning from a very down to earth person, and she teaches the concepts in a way that it is very easy to grasp.
I don't feel intimidated anymore playing games against people better than me, because win or lose I know I will learn a lot, and it is fun to go over my games with Victoria and get insights and improve.

These lessons are great! *Even though* she is an international woman master, you feel like she's very down-to-earth in explaining concepts and it's genuinely a lot of fun to learn how to think like a chess master.
I've improved my games, and have learned to feel that "win or lose, you win anyway" because there's so much to learn.
