Top chess coaches in Iran: 10 Grandmasters & Titled Coaches accepting students

The 2013 World U18 Champion and a peak near 2638 FIDE, on the national team since 2012 and a World Cup competitor who reached the last 16 in 2021. He describes himself as an opening specialist, and his method is blunt: he teaches what a student needs, not always what they want.

A Grandmaster and FIDE Trainer with roughly two decades on the Iranian national team and a West Asian zonal title from 2013. He starts by analyzing your games to pin down your style and your mistakes, then works to remove the mistakes. Openings and calculation are his strengths.

The credential to notice: a FIDE Senior Trainer, one of the youngest in the world to hold it, with a best rating around 2543. That's a coaching qualification stacked on top of the GM title, not just a strong player who gives lessons. He builds a specialized plan around repertoire, deep calculation, strategy and practical endgames.

Another FIDE Senior Trainer, twice a national champion and a peak around 2508, with Asian medals and several Olympiads behind him. His teaching leans on endgame technique, planning and the psychology of preparing for a game.

An active Grandmaster who plays worldwide and runs a coaching team, so a wide range of students get support behind the single name. He works from your games to a specialized plan, strongest on openings, deep calculation and endgames. A world university team champion, too.

A five-time Asian champion and record holder in that category, a World U18 bronze medalist, and a Baku 2016 Olympiad player, now a Grandmaster with a law degree. His pitch is simple: openings, strategic concepts and chess psychology, taught with a lot of energy.

A young Grandmaster with a peak around 2554 and a childhood full of World and Asian youth gold from under-8 all the way to the U16 Olympiad. On the national team since 2015, and still climbing. A strong match for an ambitious junior.

If you want a career teacher, this is the one. An International Master from Rasht rated around 2475, with 25 years in the game and over 500 students taught, from six-year-old beginners to 2400-rated players. He works individually, with humor, and tries to find what actually hooks each student.

An International Master and FIDE Trainer who teaches as part of a group of GMs and IMs, so you get a bench behind you, not just one coach. He sets the method to your level after reviewing your games, with a focus on opening prep, tactics, endgame theory and psychology.

A busy FIDE Master from Ilam and a former Iranian juniors champion who wins tournaments across the Middle East, the Dubai Open among them. His specialties are the practical, competitive edges: calculation and tactics, endgame technique, defense, and the psychology of tricky moves.
