Chess Coaching: From Beginner to Advanced (Up to 1900 chess.com )

From 37 C$ /h

whether you're just learning the rules or aiming to reach a competitive level, this chess class is designed to help you improve efficiently and confidently.

As a 2200 rated Chess.com player and experienced coach, I focus on practical improvement rather than memorization. You’ll learn how to think like a strong player, find better moves, and understand positions deeply.

Lessons are fully adapted to your level and goals. We can cover:
• Opening principles and repertoire building
• Tactical patterns and calculation training
• Positional understanding and strategy
• Endgames you must know
• Game analysis (your games or master games)

By the end, you’ll not only play better moves—but understand why they are better.

About Me

I’m a dedicated chess coach and 2200 rated player on Chess.com with a strong focus on helping students improve efficiently and enjoy the game at the same time.

My teaching style is structured, practical, and adapted to each student. I don’t believe in overwhelming students with theory instead, I focus on helping you understand key ideas, patterns, and decision-making so you can apply them in real games.

I work with a wide range of students, from complete beginners learning the basics to ambitious players looking to reach intermediate or advanced levels. Whether your goal is to win more games online, compete seriously, or simply enjoy chess more, I will build a training plan that fits you.

In my lessons, we typically combine tactics training, game analysis, and strategic concepts. I also provide feedback between sessions and clear guidance on what to study to keep improving.

I’m patient, focused, and results-oriented, and I aim to make every lesson both productive and engaging.

I specialize in tutoring subjects such as Math, Geography, History, Political Science, and Economics. My primary objective is to ignite and maintain my students' enthusiasm for the subjects they are studying. I offer assistance in various topics they may find challenging. Additionally, I regularly administer brief tests to ensure their progress in the respective subjects.

Python is easier to learn and understand than other programming languages. Its instructions are simple and easily readable with a clean syntax which doesn't really involve complex coding. However simple and easy to learn, Python can be used to create the highly interactive programs.

This course aims to engage learners with little or even no previous programming experience. The programme for beginners starts with an introduction to the basic fundamentals of Python (expressions, conditionals, and functions). Then, as the course progresses, learners will be able to combine Python commands and modules like Pygame, Matplotlib, Numpy and Tkinter to implement their ideas and develop skills like computational thinking, creativity and problem solving.

The content and pace of the course is adapted to the age and needs of the learners.

I help you prepare your homework and tests but also to better understand the subject with which you are having difficulty (English, French, mathematics).
I adapt my method to the personality of each student, which allows for a better understanding of the subject.

My name is Ségolène (27 years old). I have two degrees from KU Leuven: a Master's in Business Administration (NL/EN) and a teaching qualification (Master of Education). I worked for two years in insurance and currently work at Odoo.

My mother tongue is French, but from a very young age, I was educated in Dutch, which allowed me to become perfectly bilingual. I love supporting my students and seeing them progress. I offer academic support in any subject but also to help them learn how to learn, become better organized, and gain confidence.

MY EXPERIENCE :

I helped several students to pass the CE1D exam in Dutch (written, oral, listening comprehension). In addition, I also assisted students with their homework and for various subjects at secondary level (Maths, Handel (commerce), Sciences: WO, NW...).
Finally, it is also possible for younger children to learn Dutch in a fun way (language games, educational games).

During a test carried out on the CLL site to assess my level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 or C2), I obtained the result C2: "The student expresses himself appropriately in n' any situation, by dominating the linguistic and cultural elements proper to a native speaker and by knowing how to distinguish shades of meaning."

My goal is to restore confidence, explain things differently when necessary, and turn challenges into real successes. I primarily prepare students for the CE1D exam. First, we work together on each skill assessed during this test. Then, I support the student in putting all of these skills into practice so they can approach the exam in its entirety with confidence and method.

As a computer science student at the Free University of Brussels and holding a degree in animation, I offer private math and science lessons for primary and secondary school students.
I worked as a tutor for students preparing for the vocational CESS science exam before the Central Examining Board for the municipality of Anderlecht. I prepared and delivered lessons to help candidates understand the material and prepare effectively for the exam.
I also completed internships as a kindergarten teacher and a physical education teacher in secondary school. These experiences taught me how to supervise children and teenagers, how to design appropriate lessons, and how to explain the same concept in different ways.
My approach is based on understanding, practice, and confidence. I begin by identifying the student's difficulties, then we review the necessary fundamentals before progressing through tailored exercises. The student is encouraged to explain their reasoning in order to learn to detect and correct their own errors.
I also use artificial intelligence tools to prepare, when relevant, customized diagrams, illustrations, and visualizations. These resources make certain mathematical or scientific concepts more concrete and easier to visualize. AI here serves as a pedagogical preparation tool: explanations, guidance, and content verification remain entirely my responsibility.
The sessions can be used to:
- to understand or review a chapter;
- solving exercises;
- to prepare for a quiz, an exam;
- correct a previous assessment;
- to make up for lost time;
- to develop a more efficient working method.
I can teach in French, Spanish, or Arabic. I also have a very good level of English.
