Trusted teacher: Hello everybody! My name is Vladislav, I'm 20 years old, and I've been living in Vienna for two years. I'm a FIDE Master with a rating of 2384, winner of the 2025 Vienna State Masters Championship, and a prizewinner of the 2025 Memorial Korchnoi. I also successfully passed the 2025 MedAT with 84% – this demonstrates that I learn in a structured way, develop strategies, and can convey complex content in an understandable way. I was a member of the Saint Petersburg national team, twice the winner of the Russian Youth Team Championship, multiple winner of the Saint Petersburg Youth Championship, runner-up of the 2018 European Youth Team Championship in Tallinn, and a participant and prizewinner of many international competitions. Over the past four years as a chess coach, I have developed effective and individualized methods to systematically improve my students' chess skills. What you will learn from me: 1) Tactical and strategic basics so that you not only play the moves but understand them; 2) Understanding the middle game and planning your own game ideas; 3) Building your individual opening repertoire; 4) Analysis of real games and exciting practice exercises for every level. Why learn with me? I have successfully coached many students – some have won medals at Russian and Austrian youth championships. Lessons available in German, English or Russian. Flexible format: online (Zoom) or at your home. We can start together and see how your training can be made effective. My goal is for you to not just move pieces, but to enjoy the game and systematically improve your chess skills – whether you're a beginner or a tournament player.

Trusted teacher: My name Is Camilo and I am an Experienced international chess player that speaks English, French, and Spanish. I am a 1700+ rated chess player that has participated in clubs and tournaments throughout my career with 5 years of tutoring experience. Being trilingual has allowed me to teach people from all over the world. I first began by helping children with their French and Spanish as well as their organizational skills. However, I ended up gravitating toward my passion which is chess. I have various courses and modules prepared for each session. I also adapt very well to the level of experience of each student and what their goals are. Over three years I have developed a syllabus for my students, which includes: lesson 1 Chess Board and Pawn movement, Lesson 2 Review of Pawns, Lesson 3 The Bishops, Lesson 4 the Rooks, lesson 5 the Knights and the Queen, Lesson 6 the King and Checkmate, Lesson 7 Pawn Promotion and Stalemate, lesson 8 Castling, Lesson 9 Drawn games, lesson 10 Checkmate, Lesson 11 opening principles, and the Lesson 12 forking. This method has shown to help all of my students but as I said before I am happy and very capable of adapting to each student. This, of course, means that for my more advanced students I have a different syllabus for them more advanced lessons like for example “Pinning”. I also always prepare a puzzle for each session to challenge my students in various ways. I love tutoring because I am still young and therefore tend to develop great relationships with my students. Chess is of course my passion so joining both is a dream of mine. I tend to teach younger students from ages 6-18 but don't mind other age groups. I worked with children that went to my old school which is the Lycee Francais de New York. Feel free to contact me at any time, I will really try my best to work with your schedule. I hope you will give me an opportunity to help you because this is truly an amazing game!
Chess
Chess is much more than a game. It is a powerful tool for developing strategic thinking, concentration, creativity, and decision-making skills that are useful both on the board and in everyday life. In my lessons, I focus not only on teaching the rules and theory of chess, but on helping students understand the logic behind every move. We work on improving calculation, pattern recognition, positional understanding, and practical decision-making during real games. My goal is to help students think independently and confidently at the board. Lessons are adapted to the level and goals of each student. Beginners will learn the fundamentals of the game, including piece movement, basic tactics, checkmates, and essential strategic ideas. Intermediate players will improve their tactical vision, positional play, opening understanding, and endgame technique. Advanced players will work on deep analysis, complex strategic plans, tournament preparation, and psychological aspects of competitive chess. During the lessons we analyze games, solve instructive positions, practice tactical puzzles, and play training games with detailed feedback. I also teach students how to analyze their own games — one of the most important skills for long-term improvement. My teaching style is structured, supportive, and interactive. I believe chess should be both intellectually challenging and enjoyable, and I always try to create an engaging learning atmosphere for my students. I am the founder of the YesChess Chess School, where our international team currently trains around 300 students from 35 countries around the world.

Michael is an excellent chess teacher, I couldn't recommend him more! I've just had one lesson so far but hope to do more. He was extremely patient (I was really slow) and explained everything very clearly. He speaks perfect English and seems passionate about chess, as well as knowledgeable, so don't hesitate, choose Micheal :)

Fantastic teacher, my son had an amazing time and learned so much after only first hour! He was telling me enthusiastically all about boxing techniques after (as a 13 year old it’s his first chess lesson) and he can’t wait for next time!
