Hello! I'm a FIDE-rated chess player (1600–1800) and a medical student with a deep passion for chess and teaching. I specialize in coaching children and beginners, helping them fall in love with the game from the very first lesson. ♟️
I believe chess is one of the best gifts you can give a child. It teaches them how to think ahead, stay calm under pressure, handle wins and losses gracefully, and develop focus and patience — skills that go far beyond the chessboard and help them in school and in life.

As a medical student, I bring a structured, patient, and methodical approach to teaching. I break down complex ideas into simple, fun lessons that kids actually enjoy. No boring lectures — just interactive sessions filled with puzzles, mini-games, and friendly practice matches that keep young learners excited and engaged.

🎯 What I teach:
- Rules and basic piece movements (from absolute zero)
- Tactics: forks, pins, skewers, and checkmate patterns
- Basic opening principles
- Simple endgame techniques
- How to think during a game (the most important skill!)

📌 I offer a FREE first demo class — so you can see my teaching style before committing to anything.

Whether your child has never touched a chessboard or has played a little and wants to improve, I'm here to guide them step by step, at their own pace, with lots of encouragement along the way.
