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!

Passionate about chess since childhood and a teacher by profession, I offer online courses aimed primarily at beginner and intermediate players who wish to progress in a structured way while retaining the pleasure of playing.

My goal is not simply to teach you moves or openings to memorize. My main aim is to help you understand why a move is good, how to construct a plan, and how to identify tactical possibilities on the chessboard.

The courses are tailored to your level, age and goals.

Depending on your needs, we can work:
- the rules of the game and the fundamental principles;
- the development of the pieces and the principles of opening;
- tactics: forks, pins, skewers, discovered attacks, typical checkmates;
- the strategy and the construction of a plan;
- the middle of the game;
- the essential finals;
- the calculation of variants;
- time management;
- the analysis of your own games.

An important part of my method involves analyzing the games you've played with you. Together, we look for key moments, mistakes, missed opportunities, and the best alternatives.

For beginners, we progress gradually in order to build good habits from the very first games.

For intermediate players, we can work more specifically on their weaknesses, delve deeper into certain tactical or strategic themes, and analyze their games in detail.

The lessons are interactive: you play, you think, you suggest moves and we analyze the positions together.

Children, teenagers and adults are welcome.

The content of the courses will depend primarily on your level, your Elo rating, and your objectives.

We can work on your repertoire of openings, studying the main plans and ideas to better understand the positions rather than simply memorizing variations.

I will also give you concrete methods and routines to progress, with resources to use between classes.

Finally, we will work on analyzing your games to teach you how to study them effectively on your own, develop good automatic responses, and acquire the necessary tools to progress independently.

I offer chess lessons for children and adults, from complete beginners to intermediate players who want to improve their game.

I have more than 10 years of competitive chess experience, with a FIDE rating of around 1825, an ECF rating of around 2013 and a Lichess rating of around 2300. My tournament results include 1st place at the Scarborough Chess Congress, 5th place in the Turkish U16 Championship and 2nd place in the Turkish University Chess Championship.

I also have previous experience teaching chess to children in both individual and group lessons.

Lessons can be adapted to your level and goals. Depending on what you need, we can work on tactics, calculation, strategy, openings, endgames, analysing your own games and improving your overall decision-making.

For beginners, I focus on building a strong understanding of the game without making the lessons too complicated. For more experienced players, we can identify weaknesses in your games and work on them with practical exercises and game analysis.

My aim is to keep the lessons enjoyable, practical and suited to each student rather than following the same programme for everyone.

My teaching style is patient, structured, and personalized. I believe every student learns differently, so I adapt my approach to match their pace and skill level. I focus on building strong fundamentals first, then gradually introduce tactics, strategy, and opening theory. My lessons are interactive and engaging—I use puzzles, real game examples, and practical exercises to make learning fun and effective. I also provide regular feedback and practice plans so students can track their progress. Whether you're a beginner or a tournament player, my goal is to make chess simple, enjoyable, and rewarding for you.

Chess is a highly intellectual game. I have my own curriculum using which people from the beginner to advanced levels can learn chess. Chess helps you in certain areas of life as it sharpens your brain to think correctly and firmly. It helps in concentration, calculation, decision making, spatial ability etc.

Hello, my name is Dauirzhan! And I know the struggles or learning a new language. So, let me help you overcome them.

These one-on-one English lessons will be tailored directly to your specific goals, level, and learning style.
They are taught by me: a Cambridge CELTA-certified teacher with degrees in Law and International Relations, and we will focus on building real practical communication skills rather than repeating passive textbook drills.

Whether you need to gain confidence in conversational English, master professional terminology for corporate work, or score higher on the IELTS exam, every session is designed around active practice and clear progress.

Learning Tracks Offered:
1) General & Conversational English: Improve fluency, polish pronunciation, and build confidence for everyday conversations, travel, or living abroad.
2) Business & Legal English (ESP): Tailored training focusing on contract terminology, high-stakes negotiations, executive email writing, and professional presentations, drawing directly on legal and international relations experience.
3) IELTS & Exam Strategy: Focused exam preparation covering speaking, writing, reading, and listening strategies (85% of previous students achieved their target scores).
4) Academic English: Writing structure, analytical reading, and presentation skills for university applications and coursework.

I learnt English myself once, so I know it can be complicated and may seem impossible. However, I will help you with learning English in the smoothest atmosphere possible and of course without forgetting about efficiency.
