Nizar came thoroughly prepared for my first session!

Nizar dove into a deep analysis for a few of my most recent games and also provided me with an overall analysis of what my strengths and weaknesses are for my ELO and what to work on. He also provided me with plenty of resources and answered any questions that popped up during the session. I would highly recommend him as a chess tutor!

Very patient, flexible and resourceful

My 15-year old son needed a crash course to address gaps in his skills for a chess tournament at his school - and so I reached out to Nizar on this site. He was resourceful even before the lesson started by performing an analysis of my son's games on Chesss.com and then using that knowledge to train him in the 4 sessions that followed. He was extremely patient and flexible with my son's questions and his tips made my son confident about his readiness for the tournament. I strongly recommend Nizar.

Knowledge chess tutor

My son, 11 years old boy had his first class with Mr. Nizar yesterday and really enjoyed the class. He learned a lot in just one class. Moreover, Mr. Nizar sent us the teaching material and plan. It includes the content and hours that my son will learn in the future. We are really impressed. Thank you Mr. Nizar.

A Great Chess Coach

I really enjoy working with Nizar. He's great at explaining various concepts in a way that is easy to understand. He is also great at analyzing my games and helping me to not only see my mistakes, but also different options that I could have taken advantage of in a given position. Nizar is also very helpful when it comes to chess resources. He provides links to many free resources to help with your studies. I highly recommend taking lessons with him.
