About the coach
Good chess begins with good thinking.
Coaching is about more than memorising moves. It’s about learning how to assess a position, recognise patterns and make thoughtful decisions.
As a Chess Coach and FIDE Approved National Instructor, I focus on making chess concepts understandable, practical and useful over the board.
Through guided practice, tactical exercises and game analysis, students can develop a deeper understanding of openings, middlegame plans and endgame technique.
The aim is to help each learner become a more independent, disciplined and confident player—at their own stage of development.
