Beyond the screen

TURNING DIGITAL INTERESTS INTO REAL-LIFE OPPORTUNITIES

 Hours spent in front of a screen. Arguments about taking breaks. Less enthusiasm for other activities. Difficulty switching attention back to everyday life.​

 For many parents, the challenge isn't simply screen time - it's finding a way to reconnect with their child and encourage new interests without constant conflict.

Beyond the Screen offers a different approach

 Instead of fighting against gaming, we use what children already love as a starting point for development.​

 Through personalised mentoring, gaming discussions, chess, creative activities and practical challenges, we work towards stronger thinking skills, greater self-awareness and a healthier balance between digital entertainment and everyday life.

LET'S DISCUSS YOUR CHILD'S NEEDS

Tell me about your child's gaming interests, daily routines and any concerns you may have. I'll explain how the programme works, answer your questions and discuss whether this approach could be a good fit.

​

No pressure. No obligation. Just an opportunity to understand the next step

WHAT MAKES my APPROACH DIFFERENT?

 My approach combines experience in chess education with a genuine understanding and personal experience in video games and the way young people engage with them.

 Rather than following a rigid teaching formula, I adapt each session to the child's interests, personality and individual pace.

  • I understand their world — by exploring games, motivations and interests without judgement.

  • I help develop valuable skills — through strategy, problem-solving, decision-making and creativity.

  • I encourage new possibilities — by introducing meaningful activities beyond the screen.

  • I support families — by helping parents understand the approach and reviewing progress together.

Discover how your child's interests could become a starting point for new skills, experiences and personal growth.

For children from around age 7–8. No previous chess experience required.
