About AGM Ioannis - Athanasios
Hi and nice to meet you! I am Sakis Asiatidis, a chess coach, from Greece. I speak English fluently (ECPE). I am FIDE rated chess player and coach, awarded with Arena Grand Master title by FIDE (2021) and FIDE Arbiter/Trainer (2026). I am FIDE rated.

About the lesson

All languages in which the lesson is available :

I offer personalised and high-quality chess lessons. I will start by examining thoroughly your games and considering your weaknesses and strengths. After that, I will create a personalised programme to help you improve. Every lesson is prepared with care and professionalism. Why should you choose me? • My students are not numbers: Your goals are my goals and I will do my best to help you reach them. • I have plenty of supporting material to improve in opening, middlegame and endgame. After every lesson, I will provide you the material examined (exercises, opening theory, annotated games etc.). The sessions are also recorded, so you can revise the lesson afterwards. • I'm not too strict about respecting the 60 minutes: If I think a concept has to be assimilated, I can take some extra time (for free) to make sure that you fully understood it. • Every lesson is personalised, according to each student's needs. • I'm sure about the quality of my lessons but you can try me by ordering your first lesson. I'm waiting for you, order your first lesson now!

The lessons are very structured and concepts are introduced, explained and then many examples are offered. Thought is given to my specific needs too based on reviews of my own games. I’m fairly new to chess but I feel I’m treated with patience and encouragement. Lots of study materials are also provided. It’s good fun to learn with Ioannis and look forward to continuing!

He has been amazing with my son. So kind and patient and explains everything so well. My son has improved lots snd loves his chess lessons. Best tutor we tried!
AGM is an excellent teacher. He is passionate about his job and goes the extra mile to ensure his students understand the subject they are working on. One thing that makes him stand out from the rest is that he doesn't look at the time. If the session is over, he might spend another 10 to 15 minutes extra to finish the concept he is working on with you. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good chess teacher.
