Chess Coaching for Beginners and Intermediate Players
From 19 C$ /h
Professional Chess Coach & FIDE-Rated Player (1750)
Looking to build your child's critical thinking, focus, and problem-solving skills through chess? As an active FIDE-rated player with hands-on teaching experience, I help children and teenagers (ages 4–16) develop a sharp, strategic mind.
Chess is far more than a game—it is a powerful tool for cognitive development. I don't just teach kids how to move pieces; I teach them how to think. My structured lessons focus on:
Logical Reasoning: Training children to analyze positions, calculate variants, and make independent decisions.
Concentration & Discipline: Building deep focus, patience, and emotional control during high-pressure situations.
Tactical Vision: Mastering core concepts from opening principles to endgame techniques.
Why parents choose my lessons:
Tailored Approach: Fully customized to your child's level, whether they are a complete beginner or an intermediate player.
Proven Progress: Every session includes practical exercises and game analysis to ensure steady improvement.
Lesson Recordings: Video recordings are provided after every class so students can review mistakes and practice at their own pace.
Working Languages: English (B2 / Professional Working Proficiency), Russian, and Azerbaijani. Let’s unlock your child's potential—feel free to reach out to schedule a trial lesson!

About Me
As a chess coach, I believe that a positive, supportive, and structured environment is the key to unlocking a student's true potential. My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and highly interactive. I don't just teach children how to move chess pieces; I guide them to think critically, stay focused, and solve problems independently.
I love working with motivated children and teenagers (ages 4–16) who are eager to learn, whether they are taking their very first steps in chess or looking to sharpen their tactical skills. My goal is to make every lesson engaging so that students build confidence not only on the chessboard, but in their everyday learning and school life as well.
