I offer chess tutoring for beginners and advanced players :) My approach is to promote understanding of the game in a playful way and then look at the moves in order to implement your own chess style. Chess is a beautiful game, which even gets more beautiful the more you understand it (everyone can memorize moves 😉). Nowadays, chess is no longer just about reading and memorizing, but also modern! If a learning process is presented in an interactive and fun way, each person can discover a wide variety of things for themselves, I am firmly convinced of that.

My current chess.com ELO is 1800 in 10 minute format and 1700 in 3 minute format.

I am happy about every message!

About Me
Hi :) My name is Alex, I am 23 years old and I am an avid chess and basketball player. My goal is to make more people aware of the beauty of chess through interactive learning and how the approach of problem solving in chess can be applied to other areas of life. By the way, we also care about your ELO :)

Short version: Everybody can learn chess and everybody benefits from it in an individual way!

I am happy about every message!

Fellow Language Learners,

This class if for those aspiring to strengthen their English language skills in a fun, interactive, and low-pressure way. I have experience with private tutoring as well as working in a school setting. If we should work together, I'd like to combine your personal goals with my teaching techniques.

I have a degree in International Studies from the University of Arkansas, and thus I love to learn about peoples and cultures from all over the world. I want to know your story, and how I can contribute to it.

I have experience with all age groups, from toddlers needing simple introduction to the English Language, to business people aspiring to improve their skills for job purposes. I believe each learner is different and each situation should be fitted to individual needs. Let's work together and create the best learning plan for you.

PS. My availability is very flexible, if you have a time not stated on my availability, contact me and we can work something out.

My classes are about learning and having fun with the Spanish language. I am from Peru but I have been living in Spain all my life.
We will practice writings, speakings, readings and listenings. I will show you Spanish music and some cultural things too.

The French language can come across as a very difficult one (I know...). With my teaching experience, my experience as a translator and love for my mother tongue, I believe I can make you change your mind and help you becoming fluent or at least help you understand much more of this "langue de l'amour". Together, we can find the topic(s) in which you are interested and start from there.

Keeping in mind that practice makes perfect, I believe writing essays (and improving them afterwards) helps. I therefore often give short assignments to keep the learning process going after the class.

I have been teaching online for the last few months and came up with some new ideas, so whether we organise the class online or somewhere in Berlin, is entirely up to you!

So, when should we start? :)

No matter whether you have just discovered chess for yourself or have been familiar with the game for some time and want to acquire some theory, I'll help you!

My lessons include all the basics of chess, as well as tactical exercises and openings. Above all, however, I orient myself towards the student, because fun and interest are the most important things in my class.

We analyze games together and learn how the positional game works or practice openings and tactical motifs, depending on the level.



I am a 20 year old student who has been playing chess with a passion for 7 years.

I don't have an official FIDE rating, but it should be ~ 2000.

Classes can take place at your home or online via Zoom.

Write me a message or just give me a call if you are interested.

Best regards,

alexis

Are you trying to level up quickly to beat your peers in chess? You just found recently the game exciting and wanna learn more about it? Or are you preparing for a company or informal/formal chess tournament?

I've got your back. With my personalized training, you will be able to improve your game in a few weeks. I will provide you with the tactics, strategies, openings, material, and a training plan so you can study on your own and become a better player in no time.

What is in the training lessons:
- Measure of your current level
- Finding your playing style
- Personalized training plan (openings, middle game, end game, tactics, strategy, time management)
- Level up your skill and depth of thought (being able to think many moves beyond your opponent)
- If you want to improve your blitz/bullet level I can also help you with that!

About me:
As a seasoned chess player with over 15 years of experience, I have honed my skills and competed in various international tournaments, showcasing my love for the game. However, my passion for chess has transcended competition, and in 2018, I made the decision to transition into a career as a professional chess tutor. Now, I find great joy in sharing the intricacies and beauty of chess with my students, and helping them to develop their own strategies and techniques. It's incredibly fulfilling to see my students grow in their understanding of the game and to watch their progress over time.

We can even try an online lesson if you don't want to spend time commuting. I know how difficult is to find the right mentor and therefore I offer you this option to help you.

Looking forward to meeting you and helping you improve your chess skills soon.
Talk to you soon,
Leo

I am a certified chess teacher based in Berlin (DOSB-Trainerin C Leistungssport) and a former competitive player, holding the title of Candidate Master in Russia (FIDE peak 1974). I have taught in schools and privately for many years, working with students from complete beginners up to club-level players. I teach in several languages, and I offer lessons for both children and adults, with each class adapted to the student’s level and goals.

For kids, my lessons are friendly, motivating, and easy to follow, especially if they are just discovering the game. I focus on building good habits, clear thinking, and a genuine enjoyment of chess. For adults or more advanced young competitive players, my main focus is tactics, variation calculation, strategic play and ideas, endgames, as well as developing a solid understanding of openings at beginner and intermediate levels.

Lessons can be taken one-on-one or in small groups, and parent-and-child sessions are also possible. Depending on where you are located, we can meet online or in person. Every program is tailored individually, whether you’re an adult looking to improve your game or a child taking their first steps in chess.

Chess is a wonderful lifelong game. Whether you’re learning for personal growth or looking for lessons for your child, it offers many benefits: improved memory, concentration, logic, patience, critical thinking, and problem-solving. It also provides a calm, fun, and socially engaging environment where students can meet new people and build confidence.

If you or your child would like to begin or continue your chess journey, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to answer questions and help you find the right learning plan.
