Learn from a Psychologist and FIDE Instructor and put the knowledge into practice!

In today's world, we are overloaded with information from all sides. Getting knowledge is easy, but employing it in practice is totally a different thing. Yes, sure, some crazy puzzle is fun to see, or some endgame position that will never resemble an actual game...

If you want to get better at chess, I have only one rule for you: "Learn and implement"

For this, you need to structure your learning to things that are important and that will actually help you to win games.

My name is Nikola Nikolovski, and I'm a 26 years old International Master from Macedonia. I have been playing chess for most of my life, but besides being in the world of chess, I also have a Bachelor's degree in psychology.

My teaching combines my chess expertise with psychology to ensure knowledge is transferred in the most effective way. Lessons are interactive, focusing on both the thinking process and practical skills to help each student reach their full potential. By analyzing student games, we uncover strengths and areas for improvement, creating a personalized study plan to achieve rapid and sustainable progress. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, my goal is to help you advance, reach your goals, and enjoy every step of the journey!
