About Simon
I’m a professional teacher with over 15 years’ classroom experience and a passionate chess coach.
I started playing chess online at age 27, and after a decade of study, reached a Lichess blitz peak of 2414 — placing me in the top 1% of players.
I've trained with elite Grandmasters including:
• GM Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (Peak ELO 2820)
• GM Alexander Moiseenko (2726)
• GM Lazaro Bruzon (2717)
• GM Rakhmanov, Yuri Vovk, Ivan Rozum
In 2022, I launched a YouTube channel called Viennaconcert Chess, focused on slow, serious improvement for adult players. I look forward to helping you improve your game.

Perfect! Simon is a great teacher. Explains concepts and techniques to a very high degree. You can tell he really wants to make you understand as much as possible and if you don’t understand something he’ll spend the extra time to make sure you do. Just an overall very thorough and super nice guy

Simon is very chill, relaxed, encouraging teacher but also very serious about his work and very professional. My singing improved a lot when I started taking regular lessons with him. It's very hard to find better singing teacher than him these days. I only wish I'd found him sooner.
Very good teacher. Also very nice and patient. I was impressed by his music abilities and how well can he sing and play piano. Thank you Simon for great lessons.
Simon is very nice and cool teacher. He's very good at teaching chess. My son was very happy with his lessons and he learned a lot about chess and even sport in general. His lessons are well structured and he's very good at motivating student. Great teacher.
Great teacher and great person as well.
Simon is very good teacher. I know him for many years. He's very passionate about music and also teaching music. I only hope more students would get to know him.
I like how he teaches me singing. He focuses on the most important area of singing which is breath support. He knows a lot about classical singing as well as pop and rock singing. He always motivates me for practice and can explain things very easily. Great teacher. Highly recommend.
Simon was teaching my daughter for two years piano and music theory. She really enjoyed his lessons and with his help, she started going to music school and is now already a very good musician. Even now he still helps her whenever she needs it. Thank you Simon, you're the best.
Simon is awesome! He's a great listener, patient teacher, and lifelong learner. He's reliable, motivating, and encouraging. You will be in good hands with him as your teacher!
Simon is my singing teacher for many years now. He's very good at explaining things, very encouraging and an amazing musician at the same time. I've learned the importance of breathing, support, technique and most importantly how to approach music in a natural way. His technique is superb and his musicianship is even better. He's great for all levels of students. Highly recommend to anyone who likes to learn and enjoy music.
Simon was my mentor when I was in Slovenia for one year. He's very nice and I had a great time there. He's also very passionate about everything (he can't stop talking about chess!) and I like that a lot. Hope to be back there soon and learn more things from him.
As a total chess beginner Simon's coaching has helped me a lot. He's very friendly, fun and has a lot of knowledge in chess. In our lessons he's trying to motivate me and really wants that I'm active in lesson (I'm solving chess positions, explaining why I made some moves...) He has gave me a great example of how much can be achieved in chess even if you start late. I look forward to his upcoming lessons and would recommend him to anyone.
Simon is very nice, patient and great tutor. His lessons are well structured and interesting. The way he motivate student is really unique. I've also learned a lot from his YouTube channel "Viennaconcert chess".
