The following is a list of coaches registered with the ECF and advertising their private services for chess coaching. The ECF has allocated the coaches to tiers based on our Registered Coaches Scheme. Please note that ECF Registered Chess Coaches are not employees or agents of the ECF, and should not be construed as such based on their appearance on the list. The ECF has reviewed the coaches’ application, including chess knowledge, skill level, and previous experience as part of the registration process. It is up to the employer, or the person or organisation seeking to employ one of these listed coaches, to confirm the coach is suitable for their needs and to perform any checks that in their judgement need to be carried out, including checks on current DBS certificates where relevant. Click on the name of the coach to see more details for each coach. Coaches are arranged by level [1-4]
