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.

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.

Improving your physical condition doesn't necessarily mean striving for athletic performance. Whether you want to get back in shape, develop your strength, improve your endurance, or simply feel better in your body, appropriate physical activity can help you achieve your goals.

Having graduated with a Master's degree in movement and sports science, specializing in training and performance, I designed these sessions to support each person according to their level, needs and personal goals.

You will learn to develop your physical abilities through varied and progressive exercises, aimed in particular at improving muscle strength, endurance, mobility, coordination and general physical condition.

The sessions are fully personalized, whether you are a beginner, wish to resume physical activity after a period of inactivity, or already practice a sport and are looking to improve your performance.

My approach is based on scientific knowledge in physiology and training science, while prioritizing the pleasure of movement, individual progress and a practice adapted to each person.

The goal is to help you progress at your own pace, better understand your body, and develop sustainable physical activity habits.
