What can I say about Flavia that hasn't already been said?
She is an awesome teacher who is helping me rebuild my game from the ground up. I've been scrabbling about in the dark for the past 20 years and Flavia has come along and put some structure in place, showing me the why of what I am doing.
She is a right laugh, who takes her time explaining the concepts she teaching that day along with plenty of demonstrations.
She also deals really will my girls when they decide to crash the lesson happy.png

My 9-year-old daughter and I have been taking joint chess lessons with Flavia, and she's been wonderful with her. Flavia has a patient approach that makes chess both fun and challenging for my daughter. She knows exactly how to keep my daughter focused and progressing, all while helping us set attainable goals. Her talent for explaining concepts in a clear, approachable way has been great. We couldn’t ask for a better chess coach!

I started playing chess again after a 30+ year break. While I'm playing for fun, I do care about improving my game. I look forward to my time with Flavia, she brings a lot of positive energy and encouragement to our lessons. She is also good at pushing me to do better. She is a patient teacher and a strong coach. I find myself hearing her voice inside my head when I am playing games between lessons, telling me to activate my pieces, be more aggressive or grab the open file. We have been working together for 5 months, in that time I improved my ELO from 880 to 1064. It's amazing to go look at games from when I first started and see how much better I am playing. I cannot recommend her strongly enough.

I love my lessons with Flavia, she is kind and positive and makes learning chess fun. I'm a slow learner but she doesn't berate me and always encourages me to do my best. Thank you Flavia, I'm so glad to have you as my teacher!

Flavia is an amazing chess coach. Despite the distance between Sydney and Madrid, she has been so accommodating with her schedule, adjusting class timings to suit my convenience. This level of flexibility speaks volumes about her dedication to her students, and I truly appreciate it.

Flavia's lessons are exceptionally well-structured. As someone who started without even knowing the names of the chess pieces, I expected the learning curve to be overwhelming. However, her clear and organized approach to teaching has made the process both manageable and enjoyable. Each lesson builds naturally on the last, and I’ve been able to progress confidently without ever feeling lost.

Her use of technology is also impressive—she incorporates multiple platforms seamlessly, enhancing the learning experience in a way that feels interactive and engaging. Flavia doesn’t just stop at the lessons; she provides thoughtful guidance on homework and recommends additional reading materials, which have been invaluable in helping me deepen my understanding of the game.

Flavia is an outstanding chess coach, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my progress under her guidance. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn chess, whether you're a complete beginner or hoping to improve your game.
