Chess Coach & Strategy Mentor | For Kids & Beginners | Official FIDE 2001 Elo Rating & PedagogueTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Hello! I am an officially rated chess expert with an international FIDE Elo of 2001. Along with my chess background, I hold a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Athens (EKPA), specializing in Pedagogy and Psychology. My competitive career features high-level achievements, including a notable official tournament victory against Grandmaster Dimitris Alexakis and a 3-0 winning record against Grandmaster Felix Izeta Flores in online blitz matches. Reaching this standard requires rigorous analytical discipline and tactical focus—skills I transfer directly to my students to improve their calculation and mental resilience. I offer private chess lessons tailored specifically for children and beginners who want to learn the game or elevate their tactical thinking. My lessons comprehensively cover openings, endgames, and core tactical concepts, placing a heavy focus not just on raw calculation but on deep positional strategy. Using my academic background in Psychology, I focus on building a fun, supportive, and engaging learning environment. Please note that I am also a certified Classical Guitar teacher and an active music composer. If you or your child are interested, we can combine or arrange separate lessons for both Chess and Classical Guitar! Locations: At your place (Perama, Keratsini, Drapetsona, Piraeus) or online via webcam. Level: Beginners, Intermediate, and Players of all ages.

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 Coaching for Beginners to Advanced – Strategy, Tactics & ImprovementTranslate this text using Google Translate.

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.

My 8 years old son really liked the chess lesson with Abhishek. I am quite impressed with the preparedness of Abhishek before the class, he knew exactly what topics to be covered and also explains in very detail. Also, Abhishek patience and giving sufficient time to the student really helps and makes the learning a great experience. Would love to recommend Abhishek for any level of chess learning.

Omkar is extremely knowlegable, and he patiently and expertly helped me with my specific questions and problems. He explained everything carefully, whihc was perfect for someone like me, who doesn't understand the technical side of photography. Thank you Omkar!
