About Sebastian
Hello! My name is Sebastian, an expert-level chess player (2000 ELO) with a degree in Elementary Education. I have 3 years of experience working with students aged 4-12, including students with diverse needs. My goal is to share my passion for the game of chess with both adults and children, while helping them reach their full potential.

The first lesson is always free and begins with a short conversation about your history as a player, what you know about chess already, and your goals. Then, we analyze a game you have played (or play one together!) and I point out your strengths and identify one or two weaknesses to focus on. From there, I give you advice on how to best target those weaknesses and build personalized exercises to help you grow. At all times, I provide support, encouragement, and student-centered guidance to help you enjoy this game, remain motivated, and reach expert level or higher.

I’m Sebastian’s father, and the person who originally taught him to play chess. In this case, the student has far exceeded the teacher - he’s developed a deep love of the game and the skill to match. More importantly, he’s completed a bachelor’s degree in education, so he understands the skills necessary to be an understanding instructor and has had the opportunity to put those skills into practice. You’ll find him to be an engaging, patient, smart and devoted teacher of the game!
Sebastian helped me learn all the basics of chess and was fantastic at explaining chess topics. I feel much more confident about my playing and his enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you, Sebastian!
Sebastian is an extremely talented chess coach. He is great at giving specific advice for ways to improve and actively worked with me to develop my play style. He is extraordinarily passionate about chess and teaching — I could not recommend him more.
He was an amazing coach. We played a game and we analyzed it, talking about every single move, why it was a good move or a bad move. He wasn't rushing the class (not even a tiny bit), conducting it calmly and steadily. I would love to get more coaching from him again. I found him on Reddit.
The main things you’ll first notice about Sebastian is his friendliness. He’s knowledgable, is more patient than many of the teachers I’ve had in the past, and is just great to talk to especially when it involves chess.
