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 a professional 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.

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.

Stephen
Chess class for beginners: Understand the basic principles, learn how to analyse the chessboard and build a strong foundation as a chess player
Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame. The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation. Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress. I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.
