Professional Chess Coach | Structured Improvement for Adult Learners

Hi, I’m Kurtis – a chess coach based in England, currently ranked in the top 1% of players online.

I specialise in helping beginners and intermediate players improve through clear structure, understanding, and practical application. While I continue to develop my own chess strength, my main focus is on teaching the game well – breaking down complex ideas into concepts that actually make sense over the board.

My coaching style blends:

Clear explanation of core ideas
Practical game analysis from your own games
Guided calculation and decision-making
Live play with feedback and discussion

I believe chess should be challenging, enjoyable, and confidence-building, not overwhelming. Every lesson is tailored to the student’s level, goals, and learning style, with an emphasis on long-term improvement rather than quick tricks.

My aim is to build a full-time coaching practice grounded in quality teaching, consistency, and real progress for my students.

Whether you’re learning the fundamentals or looking to sharpen your thinking and strategy, I’ll meet you where you are and guide you step by step.

If you’re ready to take your chess seriously – let’s work together.
