Every child is capable of learning anything. All that matters is the correct approach that suits your little genius. I always teach in the unique style and make complex concepts super easy for kids to understand, using analogies and real life examples. We will work on the homework together with your child, and make sure that he/she learns and understand all concepts taught at school. The typical length of the lesson is 1-1.5hr. I aim at teaching primary school subjects for youth under 14 years of old. The lessons can be taught in English, Russian, Turkish, and Azerbaijani. I hold Bachelor of Electromechanical Engineering from KU Leuven with summa cum laude distinction. My innate strengths are strong memory and adaptability, and most importantly willingness to share my knowledge in the style of "Explain me like I am 5". For me, it is crucial to select a personal approach towards the person, and reveal their strengths to them and prove that everything is learnable and can be made easy.

I always teach in the unique style and make complex concepts super easy for kids to understand, using analogies and real life examples. Chess is not only about the game, it is about the ability to always think a few steps ahead. It is especially important to develop that skill since childhood. Using 64 squares as an example, your child will also develop important critical and analytical thinking skills, patience, and discipline with this game. We will start with the basics of chess, and develop towards playing a full, well-structured game. The typical length of the lesson is 1-1.5hr. I aim at teaching chess to complete beginners and intermediate levels for youth under 14 years of old. The lessons can be taught in English, Russian, Turkish, and Azerbaijani. I have been playing chess since I was 6, I was twice Azerbaijani chess champion among girls under 12 and under 14. I participated and ranked in international tournaments held in Czech Republic, UAE, Georgia, Russia, Bulgaria etc. I hold Bachelor of Electromechanical Engineering from KU Leuven.

Leyla is a very kind person and I found the class very instructive. I learnt how to think when analyzing position, she also pointed the mistakes of my opening and suggested some alternative to improve it. She understands the difficulties we face as a beginners on a chessboard, I look forward for the next course. Thank you again for your time and your patience.
Leyla is a brilliant teacher and we throughly recommend her. In the short time she's been with us, she's brought our son back to the basics and is building up from there. This is exactly what we were looking for.
