Brussels Chess Lessons – Personalised Coaching for Kids & Adults
From 26.8 £ /h
FIDE-rated chess coach based in Brussels offers personalised, age-appropriate tuition that turns curiosity into confident, strategic play. Lessons are carefully structured so that children discover each piece through stories and mini-games while older students dive into openings, tactical motifs, end-game technique and deeper positional thinking. Every session blends concise explanations with live board exercises, interactive puzzles and mini-matches, then finishes with clear homework and a brief progress note so you always know the next milestone. You may learn in English, French or basic Dutch, either face-to-face at home, in a quiet café or club, or online with an interactive board—whichever suits your schedule. All study sheets, weekly tactic packs and a shared cloud notebook are included. No previous experience is required: by the end of the first block you will recognise patterns faster, calculate with greater accuracy and feel at ease sitting across any opponent. Message me with your playing level and preferred times, and let’s begin your chess journey.

About Me
My name is Elmir, an international and multilingual Information Systems Engineering student at KU Leuven and the founder of the KU Leuven Brussels Chess Club. Moreover, I have been a Chess teacher at organization called "Fireland", where I was teaching chess children. Beyond regular play, I've served as a certified referee at youth and adult tournaments and have organized several open events myself, so I know the game from every angle—player, arbiter and director.
My lessons draw on that all-round experience: you'll learn the practical skills that win games, the etiquette and rules that keep tournaments running smoothly, and the strategic thinking that makes chess such a powerful tool for confidence and problem-solving. I teach in English, Azerbaijani, Russian, Turkish or Lithuanian, adapting the pace and depth to each learner's age and ambition. Moreover, I am actively learning French and Dutch
