  • Chess instructor (Mar, 2019–Nov, 2020) at private teaching
    During the Corona Virus outbreak playing chess on board almost disappeared so I
    switched to online classes. I gave online sessions to my students to keep them
    motivated and active. I also worked with the Lebanese chess federation in a
    program to help young players improve in chess. I had a group of 4 students that I
    taught online through Skype calls. And I am currently working with a beginner
    student in the United States using Skype and chess.com. (Bi-weekly sessions).

  • Chess instructor in chess school (Sep, 2018–Present) at The Chess Club / Dbayeh Lebanon
    I gave around 8 sessions per week for several months also. Class was composed of
    4 to 8 students.
    I worked on Saturdays with a kid that suffered from Attention Deficit Disorder

    requires a lot of patience, but the positive effects of chess can be life changing and
    the work is totally worth the effort.
