About Your Coach

Meet Collins

I'm a chess coach with 5 years of coaching experience, and a university student pursuing a BSc in Microprocessor Technology and Instrumentation. Chess coaching isn't a side hustle I dabble in — it's a craft I've built over years of consistent, structured teaching.

Over that time, I've coached players who went on to become National Junior Champions — proof that the method works, not just for casual improvement but for serious competitive results.

Whether you're a complete beginner or an intermediate player looking to break through a plateau, every session is built around what you specifically need to improve.
