It was at the age of 6 that I started chess and played at a high level until I was 17. I participated many times in the French championships as well as once in the World championships.

Young French-English bilingual engineer, passionate about teaching, I was a mathematics and technology teacher in colleges for 1 year. Accustomed to teaching the youngest, I would be able to adapt the pedagogy in order to meet the expectations of the student and make him progress quickly.

I travel to Geneva according to your availability,
