About Mo
I’m a 1700-rated player (top 1% on chess.com) with several years of playing and study since the COVID lockdowns. I specialise in helping beginners and intermediate players build strong fundamentals, improve their thinking process, and gain confidence in real games.
I teach in a practical and easy-to-understand way - focusing on the exact mistakes and challenges that most players face as they improve. I remember exactly what it's like to be stuck at an Elo rating, and how to break through that plateau.
Alongside chess, I’m a Software Engineer and have experience teaching both junior engineers and English as a second language. This means my lessons are structured, engaging, and tailored to how you learn best - whether that’s one-to-one or in a group.
About the lesson
- All levels

Languages in which the lesson is available :
English
In our sessions, we will focus on:
- Opening principles (not just memorisation)
- What to do in the middle game
- Endgame fundamentals
- Tactical awareness and pattern recognition
- Game analysis and decision-making
- How to lean into your style of play - not just do what the engine says
- Building a clear improvement plan
I offer a free first lesson so we can get to know each other, understand your goals, and see if we’re a good fit.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
I had a chess lesson with Mo. As a beginner, he explained the basic rules and objectives of the game very clearly, so I came away with lots of knowledge to be able to practice on my own. We also played a game (with help), which made me understand the way the game progresses. I recommend Mo as he was very knowledgeable, and I enjoyed the session.
