One-on-one coaching, not a crowded classroom. I cover openings, tactics, and real game analysis, with 5 years of coaching experience. Based in Nairobi, coaching players across Kenya.
I'm Collins Mburu, a chess coach based in Nairobi with 5 years of coaching experience. I play the game myself too (rated 1850+ FIDE, 2250+ online), using the same methods I teach. This isn't theory I read about. It's what I actually use in my own games.
I coach chess players across Kenya, both online and in person.
Over the years, some of my students have gone on to compete at national and international level. That is proof the method works for serious competitive results, not just casual improvement.
Whether you're a complete beginner or an intermediate player looking to break through a plateau, every session is built around what you specifically need to improve.
Most sessions run in the evening since this is after-school coaching. It fits alongside a normal school day, not in place of it.
Coaching built on structure, not guesswork.
Training built for real competitive results, not just casual improvement.
Every student gets a plan built around their specific gaps and goals.
Deep review of your own games after every session, not generic puzzles.
I use my own teaching methods in my own games, at club and tournament level.
No complicated sign-up process. Just message me, and we take it from there.
Reach out and tell me your chess level: beginner, intermediate, or somewhere in between.
We do a short trial session first, so you can experience the coaching style before committing.
Choose a fixed evening time between 7pm and 11pm that works for you, every week.
Weekly sessions over video call, with live board analysis and real feedback.
Three ways to train, priced honestly for both local and international students.
Progress you can measure, not just enjoy.
My rating went from 1000 to 1500 in under a year. The personalized approach made all the difference. Every session targeted exactly what I needed to work on.
My tournament performances have improved noticeably since I started training with Collins. The structured, personalized coaching translated directly into better results over the board.
This is mostly after-school coaching, which is why online sessions run in the evening, from 7pm to 11pm on weekdays. Physical sessions are weekends only. During school holidays, daytime sessions are also available. Just message me to arrange a slot.
Share your honest experience, good or critical. No name required, and only Collins sees what you submit.
