About Me

I am dedicated to equipping my students with the skills and strategies needed to excel in tournaments, emphasizing a competitive mindset. However, I also respect and support individual preferences and goals, and I am open to adapting my teaching approach based on each student's aspirations. I believe that children learn best by making their own mistakes. During lessons, I provide guidance and hints to help them understand the right moves and the underlying principles. Together, we foster a mindset that explores all possible solutions and embraces creative thinking to find the best moves on the chessboard. Best rating on lichess-raped 2350 and puzzles rating 2600.

Alexandra MurtazinaI want to express my gratitude to our chess teacher Alex. For his restraint, calmness, involvement in the process, understanding, and patience. And for the unrivaled ability to find an approach to the student. Alex managed to get my child (5 years old) interested and motivated to take chess lessons. When we first started, we were at zero. Now, everyone in the family knows the terms and is beginning to understand. I will bring my youngest to Alex's lessons as soon as possible. The way he approached teaching chess to such a young child was remarkable. It wasn't just about memorizing the moves but strategy, patience, and problem-solving. From then on, Ilya's love for chess only grew stronger. He continues to take lessons from Alex, who always finds new ways to challenge and help him improve.

Mozheyko DmitryBefore the lessons with Alex, we attended group lessons a couple of times a week in 2 chess schools in Minsk. The results were mediocre - the child learned to play chess, but the results at tournaments were not very good. We decided to try the format of individual lessons.Alex has been teaching chess for 1.5 years. During this period, the child has successfully attained the 4th category and demonstrated confident performances in tournaments. The child will continue to strive towards reaching the 3rd category. The classes are informal but centered on achieving tangible outcomes.Pros: the child attends classes with pleasure; there are tangible results; the coach is a punctual and decent person; reasonable price.

Rapinchuk NataliaMy child has been studying with Alex for two years, and our experience has been consistently positive. Alex is not only a dedicated and professional young man but also demonstrates exceptional skills as both a chess player and instructor. He has effectively tailored his teaching approach to suit my son's needs, and Kostik eagerly anticipates each methodically organized lesson. The homework assignments are thoughtfully selected to align with his current level of knowledge.
Alex's punctuality, friendly demeanor, and clear instructions make our collaboration a pleasure. Furthermore, we have been impressed by the remarkable progress my child has made, achieving two categories (4th and 3rd), despite initially approaching chess "for fun." I wholeheartedly recommend Alex's teaching.
