About Jan
As someone deeply immersed in analytical problem-solving and modern data-driven environments, I treat chess not just as a game of fixed patterns, but as an open-ended logic puzzle. My journey with chess has always been about testing the limits of standard rules and exploring how uncharted positions test human adaptability. By bringing a structured yet highly creative methodology to coaching, I help players escape the trap of memorising twenty moves deep into standard theory. Whether you want to sharpen your tactical vision, improve your overall board comprehension, or simply experience the pure, unscripted chaos of Fischer Random, I am here to help you navigate the 960 starting possibilities with total confidence.

My online lessons focus entirely on breaking away from rigid opening book memorisation and teaching you how to think dynamically from move one. Because Chess960 throws out standard opening theory, traditional preparation ceases to matter, leaving pure strategy, tactical alertness, and psychological resilience.
Live Digital Board Analysis: We use interactive virtual boards to play training positions, test unorthodox starting setups, and review your games in real-time.
First-Move Intuition: I teach you how to immediately assess unfamiliar pawn structures, secure king safety under chaotic conditions, and spot piece coordination patterns quickly.
Customised Training Plans: Every session adapts to your current rating and playing style, focusing heavily on calculation, positional transformation, and independent problem-solving rather than rote learning.

Jan has been a truly extraordinary tutor. He has such a great approach to teaching. He makes the lessons fun and worthwhile. Provides plenty of necessary and always goes the extra mile for you
I have been tutored by Jan in Physics and Mathematics for GCSE level and for Mathematics at IB level. I can say with confidence that Jan is a very good tutor who is reliable, helpful and works very hard to help his students understand what is taught. He is a very experienced and organised tutor who understands the student and their needs as well as their strengths. Jan is an expert at his subjects and is very patient with his students, always making sure the student understands the work. I would highly recommend Jan for students who struggle with Maths or Physics in order to get the best learning experience with approaches that best suit the student. He is also very friendly and makes learning much more enjoyable.
I had Jan for my last year of GCSE to help me with my mathematics, I achieved a 9 in maths and 7 in further maths I owe a lot of this grade to Jan. I am now having him for A levels mathematics.
He is kind and is very encouraging. He helped me understand topics in a different way to how they were taught regularly at schools. Definitely would recommend Jan if you want a top grade!Jan is an Excellent and extremely caring tutor.
He has tutored me for quite a few years now and never ceases to impress me with his knowledge and ability to teach.
He's always punctual, reliable and so easy to communicate with. To say, he goes 'above and beyond' in all of our sessions is saying much too little
I have learned a lot from him in both Physics, Maths and more importantly real world lessons.
I know firsthand how hard it can be choosing a reliable all around tutor.
If you're still feeling hesitant after reading this, give it a shot.
Your grades will thank you.Jan, my husband, is a very diligent, conscientious, and patient tutor. He takes time to ensure his students understand the topics properly before he moves on to the next. He explains the subject matter clearly and simplifies the content matter. I wish I had a tutor like him when I was at school. I do recommend him.
Jan is a wonderful patient teacher. He explains Maths in a way my girls understands. His online techniques are good and clear. He is always punctual and flexible when we need to add an extra session in last minute before a test. I thoroughly recommend Jan.
