FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What rating level do you coach?

I work with players of all levels, from complete beginners to tournament competitors. My approach adapts to your current skill and goals.

What platform do you use for online lessons?

I primarily use Zoom for video calls combined with Lichess.org or Chess.com for the chess board. Discord is also available.

How should I prepare for my first lesson?

Just bring your enthusiasm! If you have recent games you'd like to analyze, have them ready. Otherwise, we'll start with an assessment.

Do you offer group lessons?

Yes! Group sessions are available for schools, clubs, or friends who want to learn together. Contact me for custom arrangements.

What's your cancellation policy?

Please cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled session. Late cancellations may forfeit the session fee.
