Daniil

5.0

(3)

My name is Daniil, and chess has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. Passionate about this fascinating game since childhood, I've played hundreds of competitions and won dozens of youth and adult tournaments.
For the past 10 years, I have been sharing my passion for chess as a teacher in various settings: clubs, primary schools, secondary schools, private lessons, and associations. I also teach in English and Russian.
Furthermore, I graduated from the Sorbonne with a Masters in international strategy and business intelligence.

Some figures to know me better:
• 10 years of experience in teaching chess
• 20 years of experience in club and competition
• Official 1900 FIDE / 2400 Elo rating on online platforms
• More than 2,500 courses given to 1,000 students in group and individual lessons

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, my lessons are designed to help you progress quickly while having fun playing.

My method is based on solid teaching experience and relies on a comprehensive and structured approach, suitable for all levels. It is based on three main axes:

1. Learning the fundamentals: Learn or consolidate the essential principles in the opening, middlegame and endgames.
2. Tactics and strategy: develop your sense of the game with targeted, fun and practical exercises.
3. Analyze your games: Understand your mistakes, identify your strengths, and apply this knowledge in your games.

My goal is to offer you a clear and complete vision of the game, to progress effectively and achieve your goals, whether it is to play for pleasure or in competition.

Hi, my name is Gabriel. I'm the head coach of the chess team of the National University of Mexico (UNAM) since 2010. I speak fluent English as I lived six years in Oxford, England, when I was a child and I practice it since then.

With the UNAM's team I have obtained the following titles:
National Women's Championship: 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
National Men's Championship: 2018, 2019
Absolute National Championship: 2018, 2019
Panamerican 2013 in Durango: silver medal

I also have extensive experience with players of all ages and levels. Here is a list of the places where I have worked:
- UNAM's Children's Chess Program since 2012.
- Private schools.
- CEDAT School for gifted children.
- Private sports and social clubs.
- Homeschoolers
- Personal chess coach since 2005.

My peak rating is 2165 FIDE ELO, which would be equivalent to the USCF National Master level, although really my chess dedication has been focused on teaching.
I would love to help you learn chess or improve your game to reach competitive levels. It does not matter your degree of experience, your level of play, or your age.

I am attentive to any questions you may have.
Greeting and I wish you success!

Born following behavioral observation, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) designates a whole set of techniques (dissociation, reframing, etc.) and methods aimed at promoting the personal development of the individual.

Neuro-linguistic programming is concerned with how humans function in a given environment, based on their behavioral patterns. Through a set of techniques and methods, NLP helps to change the way an individual perceives his environment. Indeed, each individual has a map of the world which is specific to him, and which is modulated by his beliefs and his conditioning. The purpose of NLP is to modify this map in order to enable the individual to achieve their goals more effectively. NLP therefore provides the necessary tools to make personal and structural changes, in order to create new potential for success.

Neuro-linguistic programming is primarily concerned with "How to make it work well?" Rather than "Why is this not working?" ". It suggests recognizing the behaviors we adopt when communicating, and then making changes if desired.

- “Programming” refers to the fact that we are conditioned by our environment which includes a system of beliefs and behaviors.
- “Neuro” means that these programs are encoded in our neural circuits.
- “Linguistics” refers to language, whether verbal or non-verbal.

Examples of benefits of Neurolinguistic Programming:

-Improvement of the mother-child relationship
-Improved performance and decreased anxiety
-Improvement of psychological difficulties and quality of life
(..)

The objective of this training: to target the tools which will support your communication, your image, will help you to decipher your interlocutor (...) to better achieve your objectives.

Thus, after having exchanged with you about the essential blockages that you encounter, targeted areas for improvement, your objectives (...), pragmatic tools, techniques & methods will be put in place based on the initial data. Combined with these theoretical elements, their implementation will follow (for example, by filmed simulations or at the end of the session in real life).

Course of a session: in conversational form, the practitioner identifies the problem and determines the objective with the client by asking a set of questions. He directs his questions towards solutions rather than the story that generated the situation.

Then according to his practice, the practitioner uses the tools at his disposal in order to remove blockages and promote behavioral change, while deciphering the communication of the other as well as his own, thanks to specific NLP tools.

THE PRACTITIONER
Trained at the Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League University in the United States, our consultant teacher trainer has specialized and worked for more than 17 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, regularly speaking in forums and conferences, and also offering personalized INDIVIDUAL support, with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

• What is the role of a school coach? As a professional, support young people between 12 and 25 years old, in their personal and more particularly school career, when they want to make a change.

• So, if the topics covered are orientation, motivation, self-confidence and working methods, it will be all about defining an objective and defining the steps to achieve it, based on tools and specific methods, a neutral and benevolent position and its very specific questions.

• It is therefore a question of seeing more clearly, decoding and analyzing in order to manage what is blocking, to learn to go beyond one's limits independently, by relying on internal and external resources and by determining the steps to achieve this. his rhythm.

• If the work of the coach with the parents consists in better accompanying them to understand and support their children in their generation, the work of the coach with the young person is different: By listening as well as the tools / suggestions proposed as well as the attention given to the emotions experienced, it is a question of reinforcing his motivation to get involved in his role, to develop the desired skills, in line with his professional project, through the recognition and valuation of his own talents.

Thus, it is a question of acquiring and then deploying pragmatic tools and methods in order to:
• Support young people with high potential and / or hypersensitivity
• Know yourself better (values, desires, needs, motivations, talents, etc.)
• Gain awareness and esteem
• Pass exams
• Better manage stress and emotions related to exams and gain self-confidence
• Better manage your workload, projects, time and priorities
• Prepare for exams, optimize your organization, find your creative levers
• Improve your relationship with others, your communication, team spirit
• Dare to assert oneself while respecting one's values
• Build and realize your professional project
• Overcome your difficulties, your potential and become aware of the opportunities that may be offered.
• Integrate didactic learning skills and self-knowledge, in addition to skills and coaching tools
• Support young people on different themes such as social integration, relationship with oneself and with others, the meaning of learning, organization, orientation choices, construction of a project

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 sessions*. (*study 2022)

Leela is an ancient self-discovery game that helps you explore your current life situation, uncover hidden patterns, and look at your questions from a different perspective.

During this guided Leela session, I will be your facilitator and guide you through the game step by step. You will bring a question, intention, or situation that you would like to explore, and the game will become a framework for reflection and insight.

Together, we will look at the symbols, meanings, and connections that appear throughout your journey and relate them to your personal situation. I will help you interpret the game’s messages, ask thoughtful questions, and notice patterns that may be easy to overlook on your own.

You don’t need any previous experience with Leela. Come with an open mind, a question you genuinely want to explore, and a willingness to reflect.

This session is an opportunity to pause, look at your situation from a new angle, and leave with insights you can apply to your everyday life.

P.S. I'm not a certified psychologist, but your coach with own experience.

Passionate about chess since childhood and a teacher by profession, I offer online courses aimed primarily at beginner and intermediate players who wish to progress in a structured way while retaining the pleasure of playing.

My goal is not simply to teach you moves or openings to memorize. My main aim is to help you understand why a move is good, how to construct a plan, and how to identify tactical possibilities on the chessboard.

The courses are tailored to your level, age and goals.

Depending on your needs, we can work:
- the rules of the game and the fundamental principles;
- the development of the pieces and the principles of opening;
- tactics: forks, pins, skewers, discovered attacks, typical checkmates;
- the strategy and the construction of a plan;
- the middle of the game;
- the essential finals;
- the calculation of variants;
- time management;
- the analysis of your own games.

An important part of my method involves analyzing the games you've played with you. Together, we look for key moments, mistakes, missed opportunities, and the best alternatives.

For beginners, we progress gradually in order to build good habits from the very first games.

For intermediate players, we can work more specifically on their weaknesses, delve deeper into certain tactical or strategic themes, and analyze their games in detail.

The lessons are interactive: you play, you think, you suggest moves and we analyze the positions together.

Children, teenagers and adults are welcome.

Filosofía y Psicología para adultos: pensar, comprender y conocerse mejor

¿Alguna vez te has preguntado por qué tomas determinadas decisiones, qué quieres realmente de tu vida o qué sentido tienen algunas experiencias que te han marcado?

Esta clase nace precisamente de esas preguntas.

No es una clase de filosofía o psicología al uso, ni necesitas tener conocimientos previos. Es un espacio para parar, pensar y conversar sobre aquellas cuestiones que todos nos hacemos en algún momento de la vida, pero para las que rara vez encontramos tiempo.

A través de la filosofía, la psicología y otras disciplinas relacionadas, exploraremos temas como el autoconocimiento, las relaciones, la libertad, el miedo, la felicidad, la toma de decisiones, la identidad, el sentido de la vida, nuestras creencias y los grandes interrogantes que nos acompañan como seres humanos.

La idea no es darte respuestas prefabricadas. Al contrario: se trata de aprender a hacer mejores preguntas y encontrar tus propias respuestas.

Las sesiones serán dinámicas y participativas, combinando explicación

I offer chess lessons for children and adults, from complete beginners to intermediate players who want to improve their game.

I have more than 10 years of competitive chess experience, with a FIDE rating of around 1825, an ECF rating of around 2013 and a Lichess rating of around 2300. My tournament results include 1st place at the Scarborough Chess Congress, 5th place in the Turkish U16 Championship and 2nd place in the Turkish University Chess Championship.

I also have previous experience teaching chess to children in both individual and group lessons.

Lessons can be adapted to your level and goals. Depending on what you need, we can work on tactics, calculation, strategy, openings, endgames, analysing your own games and improving your overall decision-making.

For beginners, I focus on building a strong understanding of the game without making the lessons too complicated. For more experienced players, we can identify weaknesses in your games and work on them with practical exercises and game analysis.

My aim is to keep the lessons enjoyable, practical and suited to each student rather than following the same programme for everyone.
