Julián Hernández - New York, NY, United States£23

£23Chess Lessons- Learn basics, strategy and patterns

Trusted teacher: I’m a 2000-rated bilingual chess player on Chess.com with several years of experience teaching students through workshops and leading my high-school chess club. Chess isn’t just a game. It is a way to train your mind to anticipate, take risk and stay calm under pressure. There are more possible chess combinations than electrons in the universe! In this class, you’ll learn not only how to play chess, but how to think like a chess player. We’ll cover: 1. Opening principles and how to control the board early. 2. Mid-game pattern recognition: attacking plans and defending under pressure. 3. Endgame techniques and how to convert small advantages into wins (Chess is often won by the difference of a pawn). 4. Tips and tricks on how to manage nerves, focus, and decision-making. As a neuroscience student, I also help players understand how the brain makes decisions improving focus and intuition. My approach combines strategiy, pattern recognition, and emotional control. Whether you’re a beginner who wants to understand the board, or an intermediate player aiming to level up, each lesson is structured, practical, and fun. Quick results will be visible!!!

Michał - Warsaw, Poland£17

£17Boost your chess skills! A seasoned player with 12+ years of competitive chess experience teaches chess online.

Trusted teacher: Do you want to improve your chess skills with tailor-made chess lessons from an avid chess lover and tournamet player? Do you want to increase your understanding of the game, become sharp or simply boost that online rating to dazzle friends? Or maybe you want to prepare for tournaments and enter the professional chess field? If you answer yes to any of the question, you're in the right place! Hi, my name is Michał and I am a medicine student and an active chess player. I've played the game since I was 8 years old and I won my first tournament at the age of 10. Since then, I have won dozens of tournaments and progressed my FIDE rating up to 1970. Now, at the age of 21, I am approaching my first (national) title of candidate master, which I hope to achieve soon. My approach to the teaching is very much based on the individual student and his goals. I am of the belief that whatever you want to achieve in chess, you should study all aspects of the game and during our classes we cover many different topics, such as tactical patterns, endgame techniques, positional play, openings, and more. We solve thematic puzzles, analyse the games of chess masters, games of the student, and obviously... play! The lessons take place on lichess.org with video-call and I'm using the account 'TheCoachChampion'. You can check some of my games if you want, just go to the site. A lesson lasts at least one hour but can be longer. Who are my lessons for? Pretty much anybody who shares with me the passion for chess.

Stephen - Dublin, Ireland£37

£37Chess 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.

Ignacio - York, United Kingdom£26

£26Online chess lessons for beginner and intermediate level. Learn the basics and improve quickly!

Trusted teacher: It doesn't matter if you don't know anything about this subject and you want to get into it or if you already know how to play and you want to master your skills, I can help you with that! It's scientifically proven that chess helps you to develop and strengthen many aptitudes such as: efficient planning, creativity, self-criticism, discipline, logical reasoning, problem solving and concentration. That's why playing chess is so good for mental health or children and adults. But also, and even more important, it's fun!! I've been playing chess since I was 5 years old, competing at an international level and being awarded many times. I've also given chess lessons since I was 15 until now, when I'm 25. With my classes, you'll learn all the strategies and tactics while focusing in the three parts of a chess game: the opening, the middle game and the endgame. Webcam classes are totally feasible for chess both for adults and kids! Thankfully Covid isn't a problem for learning chess. In fact, one of my young students reached the 2020 Under 8 Terefinal of the UK Chess Challenge after only a year of classes!

Ignacio

I am utterly delighted that I have met Ignacio. I have tried to learn Chess on several occasions with different instructors. For whatever reason I just haven’t been able to understand the game enough to actually enjoy it. However, within just a few lessons of working with Ignacio I have completely fallen in love with the game of chess. Ignacio has a certain skill in that he makes something quite complicated, seem very very easy. I have found that I have picked up techniques and I have a couple of simple openings that are already winning me games, and filling me full of confidence. I would strongly recommend Ignacio to anyone that wanted to learn Chess. I for one will be continually using him for a very very long time.
