About Lara

I am Lara Hernandez, Woman Candidate Master (WCM), former French Girls U16 Champion (2015), with a peak Elo rating of 2053. I’ve had the privilege of representing France at the European Championships in Croatia and the World Championships in Greece, competing against some of the best young players in the world.

In 2023, my coaching experience allowed me to work with:
1) The French U8 Vice-Champion (a future Magnus, perhaps?)
2) The sister of the double French U10 Champion (chess runs in the family!)
3) Young players who became French team champions in the prestigious "Top Jeunes" competition!

With over 15 years of playing experience and 8 years of teaching, I share my passion for chess with a wide audience, from children as young as 5 to seasoned adult players. I love supporting my students in their progress, always in a positive and motivating environment.

And here’s the cherry on top:

To get started, I offer a free 30-minute introductory session! It’s the perfect opportunity to get to know each other, discuss your goals, and create a personalized plan.

About the lesson

Are you looking to improve your chess skills while having fun? I offer personalized lessons tailored to children, curious beginners, motivated amateurs, and experienced players up to an Elo rating of 1700. Together, we’ll create sparks on the chessboard!
My sessions are tailored to your level:

For beginners: Let’s build a solid foundation! Learn how to move your pieces without losing them, master impactful tactics, and discover why we always say, "Think about your king."
For intermediate players: Say goodbye to games without a plan! I’ll help you decode positions, activate your pieces like superheroes, and build strategies worthy of the greatest masters.
For competitors: It’s time for intensive training! We’ll analyze your games (with tact and kindness), optimize your openings, and work on psychological preparation to shine in tournaments.

From ages 5 to 105, whether you’re a young prodigy or a passionate enthusiast, my lessons are designed to fit your needs! And no worries—I’m fluent in both French and English (even when explaining why the bishop is called a "bishop").

My sessions are interactive and dynamic:
1) Detailed game analysis to understand your strengths and identify areas for improvement.
2) Customized opening repertoires, tailored to your playing style.
3) Practical exercises, aligned with your goals, so you can progress quickly.

Let’s take your chess game to the next level together!

I started learning chess with Lara with virtually no prior knowledge, and it was a very motivating experience. From day one, she put me at ease with the pace of the lessons, explaining the rules and basic concepts clearly and with great patience. What I appreciated most was that she didn't just teach me moves, but also taught me to think strategically and understand the game. Little by little, I've noticed that I'm improving, and above all, that I'm enjoying the game more and more.
