Qualification:

Chess Coach

Experience:

I have been playing chess passionately for the past few years and have developed a strong understanding of strategies, tactics, and game psychology. Through consistent practice, I’ve improved my skills in classical, rapid, and blitz formats. I’ve participated in online and offline tournaments, where I’ve gained practical experience against a wide range of opponents.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, especially beginners and intermediate-level players who want to improve their game. I focus on helping students understand the basics, master opening principles, develop middlegame plans, and sharpen their endgame technique.

Approach:

Beginner Level (First 5 Classes):

Class 1 – Chessboard, pieces, how they move

Class 2 – Check, checkmate, castling, stalemate

Class 3 – Pawn promotion, en passant

Class 4 – Simple tactics: forks, pins, skewers

Class 5 – Basic checkmates (1 queen, 2 rooks)

Intermediate Level:

Opening principles (center, development, king safety)

2-move and 3-move tactics

Basic opening repertoire (e.g. Italian Game, London System)

Endgames (e.g. king and pawn vs king)

Use visual boards or online tools (Lichess Classroom, ChessKid)

Keep it interactive: ask questions, praise effort

Let them “teach back” to you to reinforce learning

Give fun homework: solve 2 puzzles, play 1 online game, watch 1 video
