A professional Ukrainian coach and master, champion of Somerset, champion of West of England would love to share his knowledge, experience and passion for chess with children of school age.

For almost a year now, Sasha has been teaching my 6 yo son chess through Zoom, using platforms like Lichess, Chess.com, and Chesskids. The progress and excitement my son has shown thanks to Sasha are truly outstanding.

Under Sasha’s guidance, my son has built a strong understanding of chess and reached some milestones. He's played in many tournaments, both online and in person. He’s been part of the Sussex County U9 Team and represented his school in interschool championships, earning several awards from Sussex Junior Chess and the English Primary School's Chess Association.

Sasha’s teaching style is engaging and supportive. He starts each lesson with a friendly chat, making my son feel comfortable. During lessons, he provides positive feedback and gentle advice for improvement. Sasha also keeps the lessons exciting by sharing games from top players, solving puzzles, and discussing strategies, which keeps my son inspired and eager to learn more.

Sasha is always reliable and professional. He’s never missed a lesson or been late. His online setup is great, with clear sound and video, making each session smooth and enjoyable.

We’re so grateful to have Sasha as a tutor. His expertise, dedication, and engaging approach have made a huge difference in my son’s chess journey. I highly recommend Sasha to anyone looking for a skilled and inspiring chess tutor. You’ll see the same fantastic results and enthusiasm that we have.

Sasha is an exceptional chess tutor. Passionate and very inspiring. Loves the game and has really helped my son improve his chess skills. He looks forward to his sessions with Sasha every week.

Sasha has been coaching my 8 year old son for nearly a year now (both at the weekly chess club and also in private tutorials) and we both strongly agree that he is an excellent teacher!

A huge part of my son's love for chess is down to Sasha. He is welcoming, kind, patient, inclusive and extremely knowledgeable. My sons lessons are varied and contain the perfect balance of theory and practice - all delivered in an extremely engaging way.

Sasha is quite simply a brilliant teacher and I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is a trustworthy and lovely individual- we are very lucky to have him in our local area (and of course available for online training sessions which are also hugely effective).

Thank you Sasha - your hard work and dedication to your students is tremendous and really appreciated.

Sasha has been teaching our son Chess for nearly a year now and we would highly recommend him as a Chess tutor.

He is inspirational, knowledgeable and delivers challenging lessons which are well balanced with theory, practice and exciting stories that link lessons to famous games, players and tournaments. He has a superb memory for the history of Chess and game positions.
All of our son's lessons have been recorded and so he can easily check over Sasha's notes, ideas and suggestions and he applies the same diligence and care to his competitive games.
Our son really looks forward to his lessons with Sasha, who has become a mentor as well as a teacher. In under a year he has gained more than 1000 points on Chess.com, won or placed highly in numerous tournaments and continues to learn new ideas, concepts, tactics and strategies from Sasha. I have attended most of the lessons myself and simply by absorbing the ideas and theories and listening to them studying, my own Chess has improved, which really adds to my own enjoyment of the game!
I have seen Sasha, as a competitor, arbiter, organiser and Chess club coach and I can confidently say he is honest, trustworthy and hardworking and we are lucky to have such a talented and experienced Chess coach in this area.

I want to express my gratitude for Sasha’s dedication and enthusiasm in teaching kids chess. His passion for the game is evident and has been incredibly inspiring. I have noticed significant improvements in my daughter’s understanding and application of chess strategies, thanks to Sasha’s instruction.
Sasha’s teaching style is both engaging and effective. He has a talent for breaking down complex concepts into easily understandable parts. The way Sasha explain various openings, middle game tactics, and endgame strategies for a 5-6 y.o girl is impressive.
Moreover, Sasha’s ability to create a positive and supportive learning environment is commendable.
I also appreciate the resources and materials Sasha provides to my daughter.
Thank you, Sasha, for your hard work and dedication.
Sincerely,
Liubov
