About Nyimas Sonya Nafa
Hi! I'm Sonya, a Woman National Master (WNM) who has been playing chess since 2006 and teaching since 2020. I'm also a Certified School Instructor (SI) from FIDE.
For me, chess is not just a game, but also a way to train my thinking. Through chess, children can learn to think more structured, improve their focus, and become more accustomed to facing and solving problems, which also has a positive impact on their academic development. I really enjoy teaching children and always strive to create a fun, relaxed, yet focused learning environment.
During my chess career, I have won numerous gold, silver, and bronze medals in national tournaments. One of my significant achievements was winning a silver medal at the 2016 National Sports Week (PON) in West Java in the Women's Team Rapid Chess category. I also participated in the 2021 PON in Papua.
Internationally, I won third place in the Singapore chess championship in 2008 and received the Best Lady award in the Malaysia chess championship in 2014.

I believe that learning chess can significantly benefit a child's cognitive development, particularly in improving logical thinking, concentration, problem-solving, and decision-making. These skills are not only useful in the game but also contribute to a child's academic development and overall mindset.
I have been teaching chess since 2020, including serving as the 2021 South Sumatra Provincial Sports Week (Porprov) Coach for female athletes. I accept students from Pre-Beginner, Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, all under 21 years old. Lessons can be conducted online in Indonesian or English. For face-to-face lessons, I am based in Ankara, Turkey.
My teaching method is always tailored to the age and needs of each student. For children, I use a light and interactive approach to ensure they learn in a fun atmosphere. For more serious students, I provide structured strategy and tactics training tailored to their developmental stage.

Pelajaran yang diberi seperti filosopi kehidupan, banyak jalan menuju Roma begitu kata coach Sonya, jika tidak bisa disatu langkah bisa mencoba jalan lainnya, dan jangan gampang menyerah , setiap pemikiran yang sungguh sungguh pasti ada hasilnya tidak ada perjuangan tanpa hasil...ternyata filosopinya melekat setiap kali mau melangkah...tks coach Sonya..suka cara mengajarnya sabar dan mendengarkan setiap ada masalah..
