As a cognitive scientist, I am very interested in learning theory and how to best structure the material for my students. My Chessable courses received excellent feedback, as they invite the students to engage in higher-order learning and deeper processing when learning material.

Chess coaching is beautiful as I can combine my passion for chess and teaching, together with my expertise in the field of cognitive science. I give individual as well as group lessons.
