Hi! I'm Iwan, a National Master with a deep passion for both playing and teaching chess. I’ve had the privilege of competing at the highest levels, including representing my country at the 2023 U18 World Youth Chess Championships and the 2025 World Junior Chess Championships.

Some of my key achievements include:

2nd Place, 2025 Welsh Championships
2x Under 21 Welsh Champion
2x Under 18 Welsh Champion
2x County Champion

With experience coaching individuals and groups, including leading sessions at a junior club, I’ve developed a flexible approach that caters to players of all levels. I focus on everything from opening theory to endgame tactics, helping students improve their skills while strengthening their strategic mindset. Whether working one-on-one or with a group, I adapt my coaching style to ensure each student gets the most out of every lesson. Outside of lessons, I always strive to be available to answer any of my students’ questions and help them prepare for tournaments.

I offer a 30 minute taster lesson free of charge, after which lessons are priced at £20 ($30) an hour.
