About Nicholas
I began playing chess at the age of 5 through my primary school chess club and was lucky enough to be coached by an International Master. Since then chess has become my passion. I have represented my primary school, secondary school, sixth form and university on board one in all tournaments. I have also been an active member of Richmond and Hammersmith chess clubs.

About the lesson
- All levels
- English
Languages in which the lesson is available :
English
In my 6 years of teaching chess, I have taught chess camps with up to 20 children as well as one-to-one private lessons for all ages and levels. I am rated 2500 for rapid on Lichess, placing me in the top 200 on the platform.
My goal is to create a positive learning environment and unique connection with each one of my students to maximise engagement, enjoyment, and progress.
For most chess players, the biggest hurdle isn’t a lack of knowledge—it’s their thought process. Along with teaching new material, I emphasise developing the right thinking methods, ensuring players can effectively apply their knowledge
My lessons consist of practicing middlegame strategy, theoretical endgames, going over tactical and positional puzzles, calculation techniques, and opening preparation. I dedicate the first half of the lesson to teaching new concepts which is followed by exercises to implement the above theory into practice.

My son has been receiving lessons from Nicholas for the past year, and I can honestly say we could not be more pleased. Nicholas has not only helped my son improve his chess skills but also sparked a real love for the game. His teaching style is engaging, patient, and tailored to my son's pace, ensuring he grasps each concept before moving on. The progress we've seen has been incredible, and my son looks forward to every lesson. I highly recommend him
