About MADU

As a National Arbiter of FIDE and the co-founder and Head Coach of CHESS REPUBLIC AUSTRALIA Chess Academy ((concealed information) with over 15 years of playing experience and numerous awards, I am passionate about coaching chess, especially for school children all around the world. My approach to teaching chess goes beyond the technical aspects of the game, as I emphasize the cognitive and developmental benefits that chess can bring. In my lessons, I not only cover the rules and strategies of chess, but also focus on how chess can improve memory, increase intelligence, elevate creativity, and enhance planning skills. Skilled chess players learn to anticipate their opponent's moves, develop the ability to see from someone else's perspective, and make informed decisions accordingly. These skills can be valuable not only in chess, but also in other aspects of life. I am proud to offer a 10-day basic program for beginners, as well as personalized weekly classes with one-on-one instruction. My lessons are tailored to cater to the unique needs of school children in Victoria, providing a supportive and engaging learning environment. I combine my expertise in chess with modern teaching methods to offer personalized, one-on-one instruction to students in Melbourne, as well as coaching several schools in the area. Join me in my chess lessons and let's unlock the many benefits that chess has to offer while enjoying the thrill of the game! -Mrs. Madu (National Arbiter (FIDE), BSc (Hons) in Computing, Masters of IT)

About the lesson

Welcome to my one-of-a-kind approach to teaching chess to children! As a chess coach with years of experience, I provide a comprehensive coaching method that combines theoretical and practical lessons to help beginners learn and improve their chess skills.
My 10-day continuous basics chess programme is designed specifically for beginners and covers all of the fundamentals of chess, including the chessboard, chess pieces, check, checkmate, casting, special pawn movements, and chess notation. To reinforce the learning process, I provide engaging and interactive lessons with worksheets and notes.

I teach students of all levels and personalise my lessons to their specific requirements. My coaching approach is adaptable and flexible to their level, whether they are just starting out or have some prior knowledge of chess.

Join me in my chess lessons and let's embark on an exciting chess journey together, where your child will develop a solid foundation in chess and learn how to approach the game with confidence and skill!

Perfect! Madu is really good with young kids and the way she teaches the basics of Chess. My 6 years old son got interested in the game and started taking lessons from Madu. After couple of classes he learnt some basics and started to use them while playing with his teacher. He is so happy now and just can’t wait for the next class. Thank you Madushika.

We selected Madu as a Chess trainer for my 7-year-old kid. Madu has good communication skills and also got the art of dealing with kids. She is well experienced and knowledgeable. Her way of teaching is very unique with examples which help the students to get the basics strong. I definitely recommend Madu as a trainer especially when it comes to kids.

Madu was recommended by a friend. She taught chess to our 6 year old son. She did an initial assessment to understand his level and adapted to provide 10 sessions accordingly. She was very patient, gentle, diligent and kept a 6 year old engaged and very interested. She would provide homework after each class to keep him engaged. At the end of 10 sessions, I could see a material improvement in the way he plays now. I would highly recommend her.
