About Me

I am a 22 year old recent graduate with a strong passion for chess. I offer personalised classes for all ages and abilities, both in person or online. I have been playing chess consistently for around 3 years now. I improved very quickly since starting, reaching a very high level after just a few months of playing and I would love to share my method to others looking to learn.

Connor

I offer relaxed, supportive chess lessons for beginners and developing players of all ages.

My approach is about more than simply learning the rules or memorising openings. I use chess to help people build confidence, concentration, patience, decision-making, resilience and problem-solving skills while learning the game at their own pace.

I particularly enjoy working with people who may feel nervous about learning something new, have struggled with traditional teaching styles, or simply want a more patient and encouraging way to learn chess.

Lessons are adapted to the individual. Some people learn best by playing, some by talking through positions, and others by breaking the game down step by step.

There is no pressure to compete or already be good at chess. Complete beginners are very welcome.

My aim is simple: help you understand the board, enjoy the game and become more confident in finding your own moves.
