About Jastej
Hi! I’m Jastej, a young and competitive chess coach based in Winnipeg. I’m passionate about chess and especially enjoy helping younger players learn, improve, and become more confident at the board.
My coaching style is personalized, practical, and engaging. I adapt lessons to each student’s level and goals, whether they are completely new to chess or already playing competitively. I focus on making lessons enjoyable while teaching skills that students can actually use in their games.
I have a peak CFC rating of 1503 and have competed against players rated 2000+. I also have experience preparing students for tournaments, and my students have achieved 1st place, 2nd place, and other top finishes in multiple tournaments.
As a young coach, I bring a fresh and modern approach to chess coaching. I understand how younger students learn and aim to make every lesson something they look forward to while helping them steadily improve their chess skills and rating.

My lessons are personalized around each student’s current skill level, goals, and areas that need improvement. Each lesson is 1 hour long and includes a mix of teaching, practical examples, puzzles, and games so students can immediately apply what they learn.
Lessons can cover chess fundamentals, tactics, openings, strategy, calculation, positional understanding, and game analysis. For students interested in competitive chess, I can also include tournament preparation, time management, and training based on their previous games.
Students can book multiple lessons per week if they want to progress faster. For certain topics, I also provide personalized notes and visual videos so students can review important concepts between lessons.
The goal is to make every lesson useful, engaging, and focused on measurable improvement rather than simply memorizing moves.

My child started learning chess with Jastej less than two months before entering his first tournament. We were amazed to see him win 1st place in his very first tournament! Jastej made the lessons engaging and easy for him to understand, while also building his confidence and teaching him practical skills he could use during games. We’re very happy with his progress and would highly recommend Jastej to other parents looking for a dedicated chess coach.
My chess skills have increased significantly since starting my coaching/learning sessions with Jastej. I had previously watched many YouTube videos and my progress was marginal, but since starting sessions with Jastej, my performance has honestly skyrocketed. He made it seem so simple, and I’ve been winning so many games and getting super fun checkmates on opponents. For myself personally, he has been super effective, and based on that, I would enthusiastically recommend him.
As Jastej’s mother, I have seen firsthand how much time and effort he puts into chess and teaching his students. He is very patient with younger students and takes the time to make sure they understand what they are learning. I’ve also seen how seriously he takes his students’ progress, from preparing lessons to helping them get ready for tournaments. He brings a lot of enthusiasm and a fresh approach to teaching, and I’m proud of the dedication he puts into helping his students improve.
I’ve known Jastej for several years and have seen how seriously he takes chess and how much effort he puts into helping others improve. What stands out most is his ability to explain chess ideas in a simple and understandable way. He is patient, encouraging, and always looks for different ways to explain a concept when someone doesn’t understand it right away. I would definitely recommend Jastej to anyone looking for a dedicated young chess coach.
