Adrien - Basel, Switzerland£71

£71Grand-Maître, Top 20 French and Coach of the French teams, gives chess lessons from a distance

Trusted teacher: ♛ All skill levels are welcome, from the beginner eager to expand their knowledge, to more seasoned players looking to secure coveted chess titles. ● Progress in chess can be long and winding. And without a coach's guidance, bad decisions and the habit of "bad reflexes" become a drag that so many players have known. That's why when you want to ensure long-term progress, taking the advice of an experienced player will cut you short from others, and encourage you to keep going. ● The goal of the first session together will be to determine with you what is best suited to work. An assessment of your strengths and weaknesses will therefore be made to allow yourself to plan a work program in the short and medium term. Having a clear idea of what we will be working together, and knowing what you can do on your own is essential. ● I can also prepare the study of any area that interests you. The goal being above all that your motivation and your pleasure remain intact. ➜ For the technical aspect, I use Skype to communicate, as well as the Lichess or chesscom interface (two completely free interfaces mainly intended for playing chess online) to share an analysis chessboard. It's very easy to use, and super practical! So don't hesitate to contact me, and we can directly discuss your situation and your goals :) MY JOURNEY Now 29 years old, I had a fairly classic chess apprenticeship with my father at the age of 7. Showing more skill and interest there than judo and tailoring, I pushed open a club door, and it never closed. I progressed throughout my youth, helped by successive coaches, International Masters or Grand Masters, until I became so in turn Chess coach for over 10 years. I decided to professionalize myself at the age of 24, once my studies were finished and my title of Grand Master reached. I am also coach of the young French teams, and preparer of the adult French team for several years. Also a writer, I have published two opening books (The Modernized Reti, and The Modernized Dutch, at Thinker's Publishing). I regularly do video series for Chess24, of which I leave you an extract! Despite my player soul which means that I will never stop, teaching has taken precedence over my practice of chess, and it is a choice that I do not really regret, as the progress of my students can be a source of pleasure and satisfaction.

Trusted teacher: If you are interested in learning chess whatever your age, it is possible! I have been playing chess since I was 6 years old and I came to study in Montreal for university. I have since stopped competitions since the beginning of my studies but that does not prevent the transmission of my experience of the past. From the age of 6 until I was 18, I had the chance to participate in more than 6 world championships and 4 European championships, including the Olympiads (largest team tournaments). I was also French champion when I was 12 and the podium more than 3 times. Chess is then a passion for me and that is why teaching and sharing my passion gives me great pleasure.

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.
