About Nayib
I specialize in teaching Chess students with a rating of 0 - 1000. I started my journey during the chess boom of 2020 and the overwhelming process of trying to learn on my own made me realize I needed a coach. With their guidance, I increased my rating by 500 points in 10 months. Through the experiences, I learned that I wanted to be this guidance for others.

Experience:
- Trained by multi-time national chess champion and chess master.
- Teach beginners at my local chess club weekly
- Provided private lessons for 10 months now
- Competed in Rated Tournaments such as the VA Open, World Open, and Beltway Open.
That glimmer in the student's eye that is accompanied by the brief silence when they have learned something that will change their game. When the student has the "Aha" moment and I can't wait to hear how they will apply it to their real-life games.
My chess coach recommended I being teaching due to my love for the game and sharing knowledge. My friends, to whom I provided free lessons too recommended I start teaching as they felt I did a wonderful job at being patient and thorough with my lessons.

When working with Adults and Kids, I start with understanding the students learning preferences. Magnus Carlsen is famous for focusing on how he learns best and avoiding the rest of the methods.
After this, I will play a training game with the students which I will use to create a custom lesson plan
My 3 focuses with students are the following:
- Enjoy Chess: Chess is pattern recognition, if you are enjoying chess your focus is on the game. If your focus is on the game you will improve and you will want to learn.
- Learning The Fundamentals: Chess fundamentals will bring clarity to your games and will be the pillars you will stand on to becoming an intermediate and advanced player.
- Becoming the Chess Engine: We can’t bring fancy chess engines to our games but you can learn to analyze your own positions so you will always have a plan in your games.
I've worked mostly with those who never played before or have only had the occasional interaction with Chess.
I find most of my students have the following things in common:
- Never Played Before or played as a kid and looking to get back into Chess
- Are overwhelmed with where to get started, how to improve, and what they should be learning at this stage in their chess journey.
- Are stuck and frustrated that they aren’t progressing in their chess
- Those who wish to maximize their chess study time to it’s fullest potential
Chess strength does not correlate with a great chess teacher. Whoever you do end up choosing, make sure they can adapt to your needs, and want to be in your corner for the love of the game and for the love of teaching.
I recently was provided a lesson to someone who was curious about chess, and by the end of it, I had received a message telling me they were inspired to become a "Chess whiz" because of me. That warmed my heart greatly.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
- Why have you decided to get a chess coach now? And why a chess coach? Why not learn on your own?
- What role does chess play in your life and how is that related to why you want to get better?
- What are your chess goals? (it's okay if you just love the game and want to learn more about it! We don't have to all reach master.)

Nayib, is one of the most thoughtful, intricate, hilarious, and fun Chess professor and friend's I have ever had. If you're hesitant or on the edge about reaching out, or trying something new; don't be. He'll take care of you and you'll truly see his passion for the game
I had my first lesson with Nayib this past week for about an hour. I came in with zero knowledge of the game other than the name of the pieces I learned by watching the Queens Gambit. Nayib was super patient with me as he taught me how to set up the board, how each piece moves, what it means to be in check, and much more. At one point, I had to ask him to repeat his explanation multiple times so that I could visualize it in my head (cause that’s just how I learn) and he did so with no judgement. Great instructor and hope to do more classes with him soon!
Nayib did a fantastic job assessing the skillset that I had and ensuring that my goals for the session were met. The session was dynamic and engaging, so I never felt bored with the material he showed me. Even though I had a limited skillset to begin with, I feel like I can navigate future games with an enhanced understanding of strategy and set myself up for success at the beginning of the game. Nayib is easy to get to know and excels in making his students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I highly recommend his sessions!
