About Boris
I am a former chess candidate master - was trained as a junior player in Ukraine. Then I moved to Australia where I focused on my public service job, here is LinkedIn link (concealed information) and also raised children and grandchildren :) Now while retiring, I would like to share my expertise and passion with the young generation. For the last 5 years, I have been working as a chess private tutor and a coach at various primary schools. Very passionate about my job - love teaching kids! Many of my students compete at state and national level (now at international too). I do my best to support them, and equally support those, who just play chess for fun without big plans :)

He is experienced yet very patient with my son. Doing everything that can be done to have the child focus during the session and flexible in the same time.
Always communicating with parents the progress and highlighting points of strengths and the challenges.- Boris's response :
Perfect! Boris has been teaching my 5 year old son and its amazing how much excitement he has instilled in my son to play chess. I didn't think you can teach a child so young well but Boris has shocked me how much knowledge he has taught my son within just 2 months. He asks for lessons everyday if he could. Cannot recommend a better tutor!

Perfect! Boris is very patient and inspiring. Will totally recommend to anyone wanting to learn chess or better their game.
- Boris's response :
Perfect! Boris has had a great influence and has helped keep chess fun and developed my sons skills. Boris takes the time to analyse my sons games outside of the lesson and they go through them also during the lesson. My son looks forward to his lessons and also doing his chess development homework each week thanks to Boris.
- Boris's response :
Perfect! Boris is very patient and has my two boys aged 7 and 10 engaged throughout their online chess lesson. They have learnt so much, in a short period of time. Thank you Boris, Im very grateful to have found you during the Melbourne Lockdown!
- Boris's response :
Perfect! Boris is a great chess teacher. He has been teaching my sons aged 13 and 7 for almost 6 months via Zoom. Boris is very patient, flexible and easy going. He quickly assessed where my boys were at and developed a plan to improve their chess. I can see dramatic improvements in both of them and they truly look forward to their lessons each week. Boris sets goals and encourages the kids to practice often and play in external tournaments as well as in the tournaments and quizzes he runs. Boris is a very kind and generous person, whose passion and love for the game is infectious. Thank you Boris for sharing your knowledge with my sons!

- Boris's response :
Perfect! My experience learning from Boris has been a fun weekly event I look forward to. He has kept my chess lessons varied and interesting encouraging me to become a much more confident player. Boris is a skilled player that would make an excellent coach for an advanced student that wants to improve, while he has also been equally adept at teaching me from a beginners level advancing my skill level each week.
- Boris's response :
Perfect! Louis (11) and Charlie (9) said that Boris is a very kind, knowledgeable and patient coach and he runs interesting and interactive lessons. I (Patrick/dad) sit in with them and I agree! Boris shares his enthusiasm and deep understanding of the game in a way that kids engage with (e.g. online; examining old games by the masters; etc). Chess is a great game for kids, especially during 'lock down'. We look forward to our weekly lessons with Boris!
- Boris's response :
Perfect! Boris is a very methodic and passionate teacher. He can guide you through all the basic and advanced skills you need to develop in order to become a better Chess player. Boris uses great examples and matches from the past to show important ideas and concepts of the playing.

Boris is an exceptional chess teacher dedicated to sharing his wealth of knowledge. He invites students to explore better moves, uncover strategies, and identify areas for improvement in their gameplay.
My two sons have made significant progress and gained tremendous confidence under Boris's guidance. His courses are diverse and engaging, featuring a blend of games, videos, and the rich history of chess. Boris believes in understanding the overall magic of chess, far beyond just learning the rules. His unique approach ensures that you gain a deep appreciation for the game while sharpening your skills. Look no further!Boris is a passionate educator in chess and incredibly patient. Both of my children thoroughly enjoy their weekly chess lessons, especially my younger son, who can now beat his dad! Boris also organizes regular chess games or competitions during school holidays, sometimes in the park, which the children absolutely love and benefit greatly from. I highly recommend him!
Boris is the best teacher we've met. After 7 month Boris' lessons our son raised his rating on the chess.com to 950 from scratch and got really decent result(4out from 9) in Austr Junior Chess Tournament.
Our son can't wait for his lessons
Boris is a great tutor with a deep level of knowledge and the patience required to teach. Really pleasant to deal with as a parent and amazing with kids. We would recommend him to anybody wanting to learn the game of chess.
Our 7 year old son has been learning chess from his coach Boris for more than a year. We could not recommend Boris more. He is encouraging, endlessly patient, very clear, organized and extremely knowledgeable. Our son now loves chess and loves learning from Boris. We are so grateful we received a recommendation to ask Boris to coach our son, he is fabulous. Thank you.
My son has been mentored by Boris for 2 years now. Boris is an excellent chess teacher. He has helped my son become a more confident tactful strategic player and allowed him to gain a more insightful aspect to the chess game. My son enjoys the lesson and time spent with Boris. We are so lucky to have him as his teacher.
My Grandpa is the best teacher in the world. Love you.
Marsha :)Boris has been coaching my 10 & 12 years for the last few months to distract them through the pandemic. They’ve gone from playing once a month to nearly every day. They just really like the way he approaches it -they love it.
I asked the 10 yr old what he thought ;
“ Boris is a brilliant chess coach. He has improved my game in every way, giving feedback on the games I’ve played and showing me games that grandmasters have played. He keeps simple so it’s easier to follow and is at a very high chess standard himself. He is friendly and accepts mistakes, focusing on the games that I lost rather than the ones that I won. I highly recommend him as a chess coach to improve your chess game”.
Definitely recommend Boris.Boris is a fantastic chess teacher and will help you develop your chess game further no matter what level you are at. Boris will look over your chess games and help you dissect where you went wrong (and right). He will also give very good constructive and positive feedback which helps develop your games further. His dedication to improving your chess games is phenomenal. I highly recommend Boris to teach you chess.
