Hello! My name is Alana Chibnall and I am hoping to take on 2-3 private students for coaching a week. I am a Women’s FIDE Master (WFM) and have been an active tournament player since 2003 including representing Australia in overseas events. I have won events such as the Doeberl Cup Minor (2009), =1st Doeberl Cup Major (2012) and ACT Junior Championship (2010). I have coached many students in private and group coaching, including being a full time chess coach in Sydney for 6 months in 2012.

I am looking for students from 10-14 years of age from unrated up to 1000 ACF. I charge $40 an hour. I am in Franklin and looking for students in the Gungahlin/Belconnen area. Please send me an email alanac...@hotmail.com if interested.

Best regards

Emma
