I hold a degree in Education Sciences, and have been working in education since 2006. With my background in education and many intensive years as a chess player, I started teaching chess in primary schools in 2015.
Currently, I teach chess in various primary schools in London with Chess in Schools and Communities. Through my work with ChessPlus and the ECU Education Commission, I actively promote Chess in Education, leading training initiatives, facilitating professional discussions, and supporting a global community of educators. I design and create educational resources and am always on the lookout for fresh ideas to use in the classroom. I'm the co-author of the Chess and Strategy Games in the Classroom Educational Programme and Training Course and have trained many teachers in the UK.
I am also involved in organising international events, including the London Chess Conference, London Strategy Games Festival and the upcoming Every Lesson Counts - MasterClasses in Chess in Education.
