About Me

Hello! I am a 25-year-old chess coach who believes that chess is much more than just a game—it’s a language I’ve been speaking since childhood. I began my journey on the 64 squares as a young, curious student, falling in love with the patterns and the thrill of a well-placed move. Today, that childhood curiosity has evolved into a professional calling. My transition from a dedicated student to an energetic coach has given me a unique perspective: I still remember the challenges of learning the basics, but I now have the clarity and experience to guide others through them. I am a kind, jovial, and very articulate speaker who loves to create a positive, high-energy environment where students feel safe to ask questions and take risks.

Experience / Qualifications

My Experience & Commitment to Your Growth

Professionally, I bring over two years of intensive coaching experience from the Sashwath Academy in India, where I mentored over 200 students ranging from absolute beginners to intermediate players. Beyond the classroom, I am an active intermediate-level tournament player and have organized several tournaments myself, giving me a deep understanding of competitive rules and the psychological edge needed to win. I am completely committed to my students' success; I don’t just explain concepts—I ensure you can apply them in live positions. Whether we are analyzing Grandmaster games or solving my signature 'surprise puzzles,' I give my absolute best to every session to help you build a solid foundation and a winning strategy.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

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.

Hello! My name is Najwa. Originally from Canada, where I lived and studied in English and French, I recently moved to Belgium. I am comfortable using both languages on a daily basis, which allows me to explain concepts clearly, whether in pure English or by using comparisons with French when necessary.

With a degree in social work (UQAM), I have extensive experience in providing support, whether it be tutoring children with schoolwork and homework help, or helping them learn English. I know how to adapt my approach to each individual: patience, active listening, and effective teaching methods are at the heart of my teaching style.

I offer English lessons for all ages and levels:
-Beginners who want to lay a solid foundation
-Students receiving academic support (homework, exam preparation)
-Adult language development courses (conversation, speaking confidence, professional English)

My courses take place exclusively online.

My goal: for you to progress at your own pace, in a relaxed and non-judgmental atmosphere. I adapt to your needs and objectives, whether it's passing an exam, preparing for a trip, or simply gaining confidence.

Feel free to contact me to discuss your goals!

I will teach at the students' homes; I do not have a home office (yet).
I can come by without any problem in the region of Zwijndrecht, Dordrecht, Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, and Heerjansdam.
It could be for English or French tutoring or homework assistance (lower secondary).
I can also give conversation lessons for English, French, or Dutch (all levels).
