Meet the Instructor

What do you teach?

I teach beginning to advanced chess.

What makes you want to share your skills and knowledge?

I've been playing chess since I was 9 years old, and after just practicing a few months, I became a champion in my city for kids under 10 years old. After my first achievement, I knew that I love this game and I wanted to keep improving, so I started to practice with different chess coaches and played in a lot of international tournaments. In 2008 I became a Grand Master and now I'm here to share my knowledge and teach because I love helping people strategize aspects of the game and life as it helps improve foresight, planning, memory, and concentration.

What is your style of teaching?

I don't have one way of teaching, I usually look at my students' needs and give them a plan according to their strengths and weaknesses.

What keeps you creatively inspired?

Chess is a great game and it can inspire you in every single game. You can't find two games similar to each other. As Albert Einstein once said chess is the best mind game :)
