Chess classes for beginners, entry-level and intermediate (in ENGLISH)

I'm a pretty good chess player with a rating of 1500+ in RAPID and 1400+ in BLITZ on chess.com. I've been teaching chess for about 2 years, both in person and at my place. I haven't taught online yet, but I don't think that's a big deal. I'm patient, friendly, and good at adapting to different situations.

While I may not possess a formal online coaching background, I confidently assert that this is of minimal consequence. My strengths lie in a triad of virtues: patience, friendliness, and adaptability. These attributes constitute my teaching ethos, creating an environment conducive to effective learning. for example, I've successfully taught both a 6-year-old and a 26-year-old student, adjusting my approach to match their energy and maturity levels according to their age.

Should further inquiries arise or if additional clarifications are sought, please do not hesitate to initiate contact. I am readily available for any questions or discussions you may wish to engage in.

As an intermediate photographer who loves teaching, I make learning photography easy and fun for beginners. I focus on the basics like how to use your camera and understand important terms. In my classes, you'll get hands-on experience taking pictures and learn cool tricks with different lights and compositions. I believe practice makes perfect, so we'll do lots of fun activities. I also share my own experiences to help you get creative and find your own style. I'll teach you simple editing tricks too, so you can make your photos look even better. Overall, my goal is to make photography enjoyable and help beginners feel confident and inspired behind the lens!

Chess: basic tactics, intro to theory and how to use tools to improve further. (Dutch and English)
Chess is an amazing game I think everyone should learn. To start I will teach you how to play in a beginner friendly way by focusing less on the theory and more on tactics and rules you should follow during your game so you always have a good position. Then when you're excited about that we can move on to theory so you need less time worrying about what to play. I make my own courses and i will teach you how to use an online database so you have all the skills necessary to improve further. I specialize in teaching people on the autism spectrum.

Beginner and Early Intermediate level Chess for Youth under 14
Every child is capable of learning anything. All that matters is the correct approach that suits your little genius. I always teach in the unique style and make complex concepts super easy for kids to understand, using analogies and real life examples. Chess is not only about the game, it is about the ability to always think a few steps ahead. It is especially important to develop that skill since childhood. Using 64 squares as an example, your child will also develop important critical and analytical thinking skills, patience, and discipline with this game. We will start with the basics of chess, and develop towards playing a full, well-structured game. The typical length of the lesson is 1-1.5hr. I aim at teaching chess to complete beginners and intermediate levels for youth under 14 years of old. The lessons can be taught in English, Russian, Turkish, and Azerbaijani. I have been playing chess since I was 6, I was twice Azerbaijani chess champion among girls under 12 and under 14. I participated and ranked in international tournaments held in Czech Republic, UAE, Georgia, Russia, Bulgaria etc. I hold Bachelor of Electromechanical Engineering from KU Leuven.
