Ashan Wijeratne

I am a dedicated chess instructor and youth mentor with several years of experience teaching children and teens both online and in person. I specialize in helping students build strong fundamentals in chess while also developing focus, problem-solving, and confidence. My lessons are interactive and tailored to each student’s pace, whether they are just starting out or looking to sharpen their skills for tournaments.

With a Chess.com rapid rating of 1590 and years of active play in local and international competitions, I bring both practical knowledge and a passion for the game. Beyond chess, I have extensive experience working with kids through tutoring and babysitting, which has taught me patience, adaptability, and how to make learning both fun and engaging.

I believe every child has unique strengths, and my goal is to create a positive and encouraging environment where students enjoy learning and grow both as players and as individuals.
