About Hafiz
I’m a software engineer and national-level chess player.
I started at 12, became a two-time U18 district champion, qualified for state events, and at 17 represented Sabah at the MSSM nationals, finishing in the U18 boys top 10.
As a largely self-taught player, I know how to build progress efficiently—and how much faster it is with a coach. I help beginners to intermediate players improve quickly: opening principles, tactical training, endgame technique, calculation, and practical decision-making.
Lessons include game analysis, themed exercises, and a personal training plan. I’m patient, structured, and results-focused. Let’s level up your thinking—and your rating.
I also offer fun, skills-focused sessions for modern strategy board games (e.g. Pandemic, Azul, 7 Wonders) to build planning, pattern recognition, and sharpen logical thinking.

First lesson is to gauge your play style and strength - you'll play against me in 1 or 2 games. This will help me identify areas of improvement for you and also aid me in planning the most suitable lessons for your next sessions.
My teaching methodology is more on practical, I'll teach as we play the games. But if you prefer learning more on the theories, I can adjust my approach to suit your preference.
In summary, first session = friendly diagnostic and study plan. Each lesson: clear explanation, guided practice, independent work with feedback, and recap.

All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Hafiz.
Perfect! My son is very enjoying Hafiz’s lessons and gets better after each session. We appreciate his teachings and contribution.
- Benjy is a quick learner and can apply the concepts and theories that he just learned in his games. He's steadily progressing his chess ratings. Within some time, I think he'll no longer a beginner and become an intermediate player.Hafiz's response :

NOTES:
When you book a session, I invest significant time in advance preparation to ensure you receive the highest quality learning experience tailored to your needs. This preparation includes customizing materials, reviewing your progress, planning session content, etc.
Last-minute postponements or cancellations result in:
- Loss of dedicated preparation time that cannot be recovered
- Missed opportunities to serve other students during that time slot
- Wasted resources allocated specifically for your session
To maintain fairness and acknowledge the preparation investment made on your behalf, I reserve the right to charge the full session fee when adequate notice is not provided. This compensation covers the time and effort invested in preparing for your cancelled session.
This policy ensures I can continue providing high-quality, well-prepared sessions for all students while maintaining sustainable scheduling practices.
