About Philip
I have 3 years of experience teaching chess to beginner and intermediate players. I am a FIDE-rated player (1845) and have represented the Kuala Lumpur State Team at MSSM six times. My competitive achievements include:
-1st place with Best Board (Team) in MSSM 2014 and 2016
-4th place (Team) in MSSM 2015
-11th place (Individual) in MSSM 2017
-8th place (Individual) in MSSM 2019
-11th place in the 46th Selangor Open Chess Championship
This competitive background allows me to teach not only theory but also practical tournament skills and decision-making under pressure.

My teaching approach focuses on building a strong foundation, clear thinking and practical application. For beginner players, I emphasize understanding the basic rules, piece coordination, opening principles and fundamental tactics such as pins, forks and checkmates. For intermediate players, lessons shift toward positional understanding, calculation skills, middlegame planning and endgame techniques.
I use a structured yet flexible methodology, combining:
-Game analysis (student games and master games)
-Thematic tactical training
-Step-by-step explanation of ideas instead of memorization
-Regular practice exercises and feedback
Lessons are interactive and students are encouraged to ask questions and think independently. I also assign optional homework or training tasks to reinforce learning between sessions.

I had the pleasure of having Philip as my Further Maths tutor. He is an incredibly patient and knowledgeable Superprof who truly understands how to break down complex mathematical concepts. When I was struggling with [insert specific topic, e.g., advanced calculus or matrices], he walked me through it step-by-step until it finally clicked. He doesn't just teach you how to memorize formulas; he makes sure you actually understand the underlying logic. I highly recommend Philip to anyone looking to boost their confidence and grades in Further Maths—you’ll be in great hands!
I know Zhi Qi as my chess coach, and he has helped me improve a lot since I started learning with him.
I really like how patient and supportive he is. He explains things in a simple way and makes learning chess fun and easy to follow.
One time, he went through my games with me and gave me clear tips on how to play better. After that, I felt more confident and could see my progress.
I would highly recommend Zhi Qi to anyone who wants a friendly and dedicated chess coach!I know Zhi Qi as my chess coach and mentor. He’s been guiding me patiently and helping me improve step by step.
What I appreciate most about his teaching is how clear and easy to understand his explanations are. He makes lessons enjoyable and always encourages me to do my best without pressure.
One great experience I had was when he reviewed my games with me and showed me exactly where I could improve. It really boosted my confidence and helped me play better.
I would definitely recommend Zhi Qi to anyone who wants to learn chess in a fun and supportive way!View more recommendations
