Meet Our Coaches
At Chess Quest Academy, our coaching team combines strong competitive chess experience with a genuine passion for teaching and developing young players. Our coaches bring valuable experience from state, national and international tournaments, along with a deep understanding of the skills and discipline required to improve at chess.
With different playing backgrounds and areas of expertise, our coaches work with students across a wide range of ages and playing levels. Whether a student is learning the fundamentals, working towards a higher rating, or preparing for competitive tournaments, our coaches provide structured guidance, practical training and personalised support.
We believe that a good chess coach does more than teach moves and strategies. Our coaches encourage students to think independently, learn from their games, build confidence and develop the patience, concentration and decision-making skills that chess demands.
