IDE Master | Private Chess Coach | Structured 1-to-1 Training

I am a FIDE Master offering personalized one-to-one coaching for ambitious juniors and adults.

My classes focus on:
• Structured improvement plans
• Clear strategic understanding
• Practical calculation skills
• Long-term progress, not quick tricks

I help students think independently at the board, improve their decision-making, and build a foundation that produces consistent results over time.

I was part of four national championship winning teams at different schools and junior levels, and I also finished as Central American Vice-Champion.

Over the past decade, I've guided students of all ages in Spain and Mexico, from group classes to personalized private sessions. I tailor each lesson to my students' goals, ensuring steady progress and growing confidence.

I believe learning chess should be both enjoyable and purposeful. Each session is interactive we will analyze real games, practice tactics, and maintain a relaxed, focused atmosphere.
