As an experienced chess teacher of more than five years, I can help you to improve your chess and have fun doing it! My focus is on building your chess understanding in the areas of strategy, tactics and calculation, and opening principles, rather than memorising endless lines.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
Alex loves explaining his point of views with arguments he has acquired throughout his studies, he uses words meticulously to achieve a good comprehensive communication of the matter in hand.
I’ve known Alex for eight years. He has always been a helpful and patient tutor especially for subjects that I struggled with. He is engaging and always tries to make sure that I understand properly. I highly recommend Alex for others seeking the same results.
Alex is an authentic and friendly person. During the lockdown in Melbourne, I have the fortune to witness his (online) tutoring classes every week.
- He works with students to solve problems, he demonstrates the underlying principles and methodologies rather than jumping into conclusion.
- He engages students whenever possible by asking questions and guiding discussions.
- He is adaptive as he adjusts his teaching approaches according to students' needs.
- To me, there is a connection between him and the students, they are like friends who sail across the knowledge ocean.
Alex is one of the most patient and intelligent persons that I have ever met. I enjoy the conservations we have which range from biology, history to many others; and he always explains kindly. His knowledge would be of great help to students since it can stimulate their curiosity.I have studied science alongside Alex at university and worked alongside him as a chess coach. In my 5 years of knowing him, he has been a very approachable and studious person, with a keen passion for science. Alex is also a very enthusiastic teacher who is able to keep a class of school children engaged and interested.
