Tyler - Nagoya, Japan£29

£29Chess lessons and coaching for beginners to advanced students

Trusted teacher: I am an experienced chess player and teacher, with many tournament victories in Japan, where I currently reside. My rating is around 2000 FIDE, and I am comfortable teaching students from absolute beginner level up to about 2000 FIDE, both online and face-to-face (depending on location). I can teach lessons in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, upon request. I can also teach in Japanese, at a basic level, though due to my mediocre Japanese language ability, some slight misunderstandings may occur during classes. The classes are customized according to the needs of the student. For instance, with beginners, the focus is on tactics, pattern recognition, and learning basic opening principles, endgames, and stategy. For advanced players, the coaching is much more personalized, and may focus on aspects such as identifying and improving their specific weaknesses, or helping them refine their opening repertoire for an upcoming tournament. I am happy to discuss the needs of each student at length before starting classes, and regardless of what we agree on, I expect my students to make their best efforts during the classes and hope to really challenge them to think deeply about the material.

David - Arpajon, France£18

£18Progress in chess with a passionate coach. Teaching adapted to all ages, video recording of lessons! ♟

Trusted teacher: I went through this myself, not so long ago, so I know how to adapt to the student to meet their needs. My teaching is based on my experiences as a club player (in leisure and during competitions), as well as on various resources (chess books, online videos, websites). My learning method will be done via the strengths and weaknesses of the student. Here are the 3 phases of play that we will study through exercises where I will accompany the student towards the answer. -Opening: We will see the key principles to know to develop properly, as well as adapted recommendations on game theory. -Mid-game: Work from tactical exercises to refine intuition, improve calculation power and stimulate creativity. We will also explore strategy and the art of designing an effective plan. -Endgame: Learning basic checkmates, fundamental endgame concepts, and endgame pawn structures. Finally, I will analyze the student's games and then offer them suitable exercises, a kind of homework that will allow them to progress even when I'm not there! By the way, I propose to record the lessons and share the link with you so that you can review them if necessary. Please note that I speak English fluently and can give lessons in this language if necessary.
