About Marcos
My lessons are designed for beginners and early improvers who want to build a solid, well-rounded foundation rather than just memorising openings. I focus on the fundamentals that actually make a difference: piece activity, basic tactics, controlling the centre, and developing good thinking habits from the start.
A typical session is 60 to 90 minutes over video call. We might review one of your recent games together, work through tactical puzzles, or focus on a specific concept you are struggling with. Everything is adapted to your pace and what you actually need.
No prior experience is needed at all. If you are starting from zero, we begin with the rules and build from there in a way that is fun and engaging, not overwhelming.

I am Marcos, a 22-year-old Data Science and Mathematics student at Tecnológico de Monterrey with a rated Elo of 1550 and several years of competitive experience. I have been playing chess since I was a teenager and have developed a deep appreciation for the strategic and analytical depth the game offers.
What I enjoy most about chess is how it trains your mind to think clearly under pressure, plan ahead, and learn from your mistakes. These are skills that go far beyond the board, and I love sharing that perspective with new players.
I am patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in each student's progress. Whether you have never touched a chess piece or you already know the basics and want to start improving consistently, I will meet you where you are.

Marcos has an incredible ability to break down complex calculus concepts into intuitive steps. I went from failing my midterm to scoring an 88 on my final. Highly recommend him to anyone struggling with university-level math.
