My name is Daniil, and chess has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. Passionate about this fascinating game since childhood, I've played hundreds of competitions and won dozens of youth and adult tournaments.
For the past 10 years, I have been sharing my passion for chess as a teacher in various settings: clubs, primary schools, secondary schools, private lessons, and associations. I also teach in English and Russian.
Furthermore, I graduated from the Sorbonne with a Masters in international strategy and business intelligence.

Some figures to know me better:
• 10 years of experience in teaching chess
• 20 years of experience in club and competition
• Official 1900 FIDE / 2400 Elo rating on online platforms
• More than 2,500 courses given to 1,000 students in group and individual lessons

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, my lessons are designed to help you progress quickly while having fun playing.

My method is based on solid teaching experience and relies on a comprehensive and structured approach, suitable for all levels. It is based on three main axes:

1. Learning the fundamentals: Learn or consolidate the essential principles in the opening, middlegame and endgames.
2. Tactics and strategy: develop your sense of the game with targeted, fun and practical exercises.
3. Analyze your games: Understand your mistakes, identify your strengths, and apply this knowledge in your games.

My goal is to offer you a clear and complete vision of the game, to progress effectively and achieve your goals, whether it is to play for pleasure or in competition.

Hi, my name is Gabriel. I'm the head coach of the chess team of the National University of Mexico (UNAM) since 2010. I speak fluent English as I lived six years in Oxford, England, when I was a child and I practice it since then.

With the UNAM's team I have obtained the following titles:
National Women's Championship: 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
National Men's Championship: 2018, 2019
Absolute National Championship: 2018, 2019
Panamerican 2013 in Durango: silver medal

I also have extensive experience with players of all ages and levels. Here is a list of the places where I have worked:
- UNAM's Children's Chess Program since 2012.
- Private schools.
- CEDAT School for gifted children.
- Private sports and social clubs.
- Homeschoolers
- Personal chess coach since 2005.

My peak rating is 2165 FIDE ELO, which would be equivalent to the USCF National Master level, although really my chess dedication has been focused on teaching.
I would love to help you learn chess or improve your game to reach competitive levels. It does not matter your degree of experience, your level of play, or your age.

I am attentive to any questions you may have.
Greeting and I wish you success!

My name is Ahmed, and I'm a passionate and experienced chess teacher (1850 Elo Chess.com). I offer lessons tailored to all levels – from the curious beginner to the advanced player looking to refine their strategy. My lessons cover all phases of the game: Openings, with in-depth work on general principles, as well as the study of specific systems such as the Scotch Game, ideal for its dynamic and instructive nature, and the French Defense, known for its strategic solidity and positional richness. The middlegame, where I help students understand typical plans, pawn structures, tactical combinations, and develop their intuition and calculation skills. Endgames, too often neglected, but essential for capitalizing on an advantage.

How strong players think during a game
How to improve decision-making over the board
Practical methods you can apply immediately in your games

This is a practical, easy-to-understand session where we focus on real positions and thinking process, not just theory.

Math
I tutor mathematics to students who want extra support or want to improve their results. During the lessons, I explain difficult topics step by step in a clear and calm manner. We work together on understanding, exercises, and efficient solution methods so that you gain more confidence and become stronger in the subject.

Physics
Physics becomes much simpler when you understand the logic behind the formulas. During my lessons, you will learn not only how to apply theory and formulas, but above all how to solve problems in a structured way. We practice together with examples and exam questions so that you truly understand the material and are better prepared for tests and exams.

I help students clearly understand economic concepts and theories and apply them correctly. During the lessons, we work on gaining insight into themes such as supply and demand, markets, inflation, enterprises, and financial analysis. Through practical examples and exercises, economics becomes clearer and easier to apply.

Chess is easy to learn and a lifetime to master- let's skip ahead. Whether you've never moved a pawn or you're chasing your next rating jump, these lessons sharpen the way you think, not just the way you play.

We'll work on the tactics that win games, the patterns grandmasters see instantly, and the quiet positional ideas that decide the rest. Your games become the textbook — every loss is a lesson, every win a clue.

Online or in person. Bring a board, or just your curiosity.

Almost forty years later, after playing innumerable games and teaching countless students of all ages, I'm joining Apprentus as an online chess tutor.

I'll teach you the basics, build your strategic skillset, and keep things fun and challenging at all times.

By the end of the first session, you'll be saying "Yes, I play chess!"
