About Dragan

At 23 years old, I’m currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering while coaching students from all over the world. Over the past four years, I’ve worked with more than 100 players, helping them strengthen their skills, deepen their strategic understanding, and elevate their overall level of play.

About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
Before starting regular lessons, I offer a free 30-minute first session where we get to know each other, discuss your goals, assess your current chess level, and identify the areas of your game—whether openings, middlegames, or endgames—that would benefit most from focused training.
My teaching approach is based on proven learning methods and tools that have also helped me grow as a player, including top-tier chess books, ChessBase, and modern analytical resources.
Each lesson is fully personalized to the student’s goals and learning style. I provide homework and study materials to ensure steady progress between sessions. Over the past few years, many of my students have shown impressive improvement and achieved strong results in official tournaments.
The listed price covers a one-hour, one-on-one session, but I’m happy to adjust the duration or arrange group packages depending on your preferences. I also offer discounted lesson packages. If you purchase 5 or 10 lessons in advance, you will receive a reduced rate compared to individual lessons.
Review

Perfect! Dragan is a patient, sharp teacher who builds lessons around your own games and makes you understand the reasoning, not just memorize moves.
Highly recommend.Perfect! Great teacher. Very knowledgeable I already learned new and useful things in the first lesson that I did not know after playing chess on and off since I was a kid!
Perfect! Dragan was very informative on my very first lesson. I am a very new player, and he was able to analyze some of my previous matches and identify critiques that I could immediately implement into my game. He was able to quickly explain to me how to properly develop my pieces in the beginning so I am set up to defend and attack later in the game. I asked him to show me an opening that would be beneficial for me to implement going forward with the rationale behind it. We landed on the Italian opening and I took that advice with the proper piece structure he provided me and won my very next match against a much higher ranked opponent than me. I am 200 level elo and I played a friend that is 1200 elo and I was able to get a mate against him immediately after our lesson. I have already booked another class with Dragan and I plan to book many more with him to develop my game. One of my favorite aspects of the lesson is he tells me what he thinks is the best move on the board for both sides and explains why that is the best move.
Perfect! my son loved his first lesson and wants more :)
Perfect! I just had my first lesson with him and it was great. He is calm and I loved how he explains everything in general I cannot give him a single strength because his strength is everything. After this first lesson, I’ve already learned so much and I’m definitely going to book another session. Thank you
Perfect! My 11 year old son had a first lesson with him. He learned a lot and can’t wait to learn more. Thank you so much, Dragan.

Winning and losing are both handled with dignity. He doesn’t raise his voice, yet the children listen. That quiet authority is rare and valuable.
