I've always loved teaching chess to anyone that shows the slightest of interest. Chess isn't just about the game and that is what most players don't realise. It takes dedication and superior mentality to beat your opponent. I don't just coach the game, I coach the mind too.
Being a chess player for more than a decade now, I still flame with passion and will always try to improve the chess community.

Working with Wian has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From the very first session, it was clear that he possess not only a deep understanding of the game but also a genuine passion for teaching. His ability to break down complex strategies into manageable concepts made a huge difference in my learning curve.
Each lesson is thoughtfully structured, with a perfect balance of theory, tactical exercises, and practical game analysis. Wian tailors his teaching style to suit your individual strengths and weaknesses, always encouraging and constructive. He don’t just teach moves—he teach why each move matters, helping you understand the broader logic behind positions and plans.
One of the things I appreciate most is his patience and the way he make even challenging lessons engaging. He create a positive, motivating environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and pushing yourself further. Thanks to his guidance, my rating has improved significantly, and more importantly, my confidence and love for the game have grown.
Whether you're a beginner looking to build a solid foundation or a more advanced player aiming to sharpen your competitive edge, I can't recommend Wian highly enough. His expertise, professionalism, and supportive approach truly set him apart.
Always wanted to learn how to play chess and I found his sessions very interesting. He is an all round friendly teacher that I would recommend to anybody new trying to learn chess and looking to expand their skills and knowledge.
I can highly recommend Wian to be a tutor because he is an absolute blast playing with him. Wian is friendly to new players and helps you in anyway he can not just to improve your skills, making you love chess.
I was looking to start playing chess at my high school, Wian was in our school's chess club and he showed me the basics.
Have been playing for a few months now, I really appreciate the introductory course he gave, he made the learning curve much easier.I have known Wian for the better part of 7 years now. Going through high-school with him I observed his hard working attitude and studious nature. He has assisted me with multiple subjects of work, mostly in the subjects of English and Computer related tasks. When helping, he always maintained a great attitude and an easy to learn method of teaching. All in all, I can fully recommend him.
