I have 5 years experience teaching classes (age 8-50) and 7 years experience teaching privately (rated 500-2200) My students range from age 8 to 70 and some have won Danish Youth Championships, qualified for Nordic Championships and World Youth Championships.

I specialize in rapid improvement between 1000 and 2000, but I can teach complete beginners to 2200.

I am fluent in english and danish.

I have a very individual approach and I invest deeply in my students. Therefore I don't have many students at any one time, but write me here or at mads.o.svendsen@gmail.com if you're interested.

Please write a bit about yourself in your message too. What are your chess goals ? Do you play over the board tournaments or do you want to ?

My own chess journey started when I was 15 and I went to a school that had chess as a subject. I improved rapidly as a result of getting beat up by all the much stronger and experienced players at the school. Within 1½ years I went from 1030 to 1750 FIDE.
Then life happened and I played very casually for a decade.
Now I have taken up chess seriously for the first time in my adult life and I am going for the CM title which is 2200 FIDE.

Right now I am at 2165 FIDE.

"I'm an adult aged 56 who had been stuck at 1400 for decades. Mads helped me reach my dream goal of 1700 (I reached 1726) in just 1½ years. I still hold this rating many years after our work together" (Translated from danish) -Benny

"I knew how the pieces moved (except en pessant) but Mads helped me understand better what a position needs and he taught me some core principles so I jumped a few hundred rating points over 6 months." -Pernille
